Paul Flood

[Jam The Man]

Anyone recall this player from the late 60's?

If i'm correct, i do believe he is the father of one of our Eurovision Song contest hopefuls tonight... Damien Flood

BBC - Eurovision Your Country Needs You - Acts Damien

Indeed you are correct, my PFA knows his father very well.

Report in todays argus confirms this. Played for us in the 60's and 70's apparently, and his son is on the eurovision programme in a few minutes.

Can I also make a claim to fame in that in 1988 I sang with Mr Flood junior at the Dome in Oliver! LOL!

As Brucie would say "Didn't he do well".

BTW he is out in the 1st round :thud:

Yeah we jinxed it...

Clearly the whole thing is rigged anyway. The half coloured girl, Jade is it? will win by miles. No need to bother with the rest of the shows.

I remember paul Flood, an irishman. Played on the left side, started as a wiger then dropped back to midfield and left back. had a serious injury once (broken leg?) and was stretchered off, so a relativly short Albion career and didn't move from the area.

The Council used to do Soccer Schools at Withdean in the summer hols and one of my lads went a couple of years. paul Flood was his trainer and a decent bloke. The next year Sully was his trainer. I was more awestruck than my lad!

Floody played in the great Corals FC Sunday morning team of the late 80's, alongside Teddy Maybank, Sammy Nelson and err.. me.

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Used to be coached by Paul and played for Lancing Rangers with Damien. Quite funny seeing him up there after so many years.

 

[getreal1]

Also in Lloyd's successful Worthing side in the early 80s and played in their cup run in same period when they reached the 2nd round.

 

[BensGrandad]

Never rated him very highly when he played for BHA.

Never rated him very highly when he played for BHA.

I don't really remember how well he played, although I suspect FG agrees with you as he didn't comment on his abilities.

I was just a youngster then and asnyone who donned the blue shirts/white sleeves (great kit) was a World beater.

I suppose he was workmanlike, got along with the game in a quiet way, nothing flash but wouldn't let you down.
