Kurt Nogan

[User Removed]

Popped into the pub tonight to watch a bit of the Liverpool game and who should I bump into propping up the bar - none other than my favourite ever Brighton player Kurt Nogan!!

Brought back lots of memories as I bored him with tales of watching him bang the goals in. He said he loved his time here but the only person he ever really kept in touch with is Football Genius John Crumplin.

Always loved the north stand singing his tune.

What pub?

What pub?

Not one that you would know I think - Y Mochyn Du pub by Glamorgan cricket ground in Cardiff!!

Is he now fat

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He was the first player I was really gutted to see sold on. £250k seemed like a bargain for Burnley, despite his massive barren spell.

Is he a coach or a manager now? I seem to recall he was managing a Welsh side at some point.

He is neither fat or a coach or manager now.

In fact he works as a jack of all trades in Cardiff - 'plastering, painting and decorating, labouring, anything really...'!!!

He also does work in local schools, using some portable goal to measure the speed and power of shots or something?!

Oooh Kurt Nogan

I had forgotten about.

Instead of No no no no no no... didn't you say yes, yes, YES?

 

[Meade's Ball]

I loved him deeply. His first goal, after a number of games without, was a rebound from a keeper's obviously misplaced boot-out that trickled slowly into the net from 30 yards. After that he was on fire. I seem to remember we turned down a £750k bid from Liverpool when he was so in-form, although that could have just been some Naylor-based gossip. I him on North Street once and it was another of those occasions when i couldn't bring myself to speak to someone i rather admired. He was wearing a black leather jacket and strutting rather coolly.

I remember that too - it was a game against Reading in the Autoglass Trophy (or whatever it was called at the time) in front of about 1200 people. You're right - after that he couldn't stop scoring.

Shame he just fizzled out - I seem to remember he didn't score in about the last 20 games he played for us, and subsequently his value dropped, and we had to accept that offer from Burnley. He then joined Preston - which is almost the equivalent of someone signing for Palace from us.

Except for 20 games in a row where he failed to hit the net, but even so, he still ended up scoring 60 goals in 100 games for us which is still a good return.

 

[algie]

I remember Nogan ending Bolton's run of 19 games without defeat or something like that with the only goal at the Goldstone.

so 60 in 80! pretty good then!
