Peter Brackley is A Brighton Fan?

[Mendoza]

Is this true, is the man behind all PES commentry, and hours of gaming hapiness really a Brighton fan?

Has anyone ever seen him at a game, how long has he been a fan etc?

 

[Statto]

Apparently he is, yeah. He is always listed as one of our 'celebrity fans'.

 

[kalinski]

Leo Sayer mentioned that he was a seagull again on the Friday Night Project...however not sure how i feel abou that!!

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Peter Brackley used to work for the old Radio Brighton. I think he's a local boy, isn't he?

 

[Icy Gull]

Vaguely remember him being guest speaker at the Cup Final dinner and professing to have been a lifelong Albion Fan. Mind you we had loads of fans like that back then

 

[surrey jim]

glory hunter i bed he was at west ham and not an STH

 

[Meade's Ball]

He used to live around Springfield Road, i believe. A mate's mum would see him and wave a hello most days. I always liked to imagine him replying with a deep "Good Morning i'm Peter Brackley" as his common greeting.

Peter Brackley was a reporter on a Shoreham paper prior to his break into the big time.I think he was a Hove Grammarian,and I'm sure he was a fairly regular Goldstone goer.He certainly interviewed Brian Clough when he was ,briefly,Albion manager,with Clough doing the "young man" platitude,a virtual pat on the head.I played football with Peter for West Hove in the dim and distant,and in fact I think I passed to him and he scored in the moment my leg was so badly snapped that I never played again.Greenleas,circa 1968.

Always liked his football commentaries;he was well researched.Generally falls into the category of "good bloke".

What you at now,Pete?

 

[dougdeep]

Never heard of him.

This is well known, no?

He used to slip in a mention of the Albion with Liam Brady on Football Italia in the 90s.

My dad was in the same class as him at Hove Grammar

My mum claims to have dated him once (in the 60's of course)

 

[army ali]

He used to baby sit for me and walk my dog, oh, and wash our car, oh, and clean the windows.

Quality celebrity fan of the Albion.
