successful sports people from SUSSEX

Probably the finest Golfer I have ever played against - Gary Evans from Worthing

Also from the world of Golf:
Jamie Spence
Paul Way

And before anyone mentions that they come from Kent, they both played at the Nevill Golf Club, which is in Sussex, represented Sussex at Amateur level, so that is good enough for me.

Linda Chapman (Elriani when married) was a squash champion (definitely British, maybe World) whom was in the year below me at school.

Ryan Moore

Then there's George Digweed MBE the 19x World Clay Pigeon Shooting champion, 14x European Fitasc champion, and 9 world cups! INCREDIBLY successful in his field and rather obscure! beat that!

presumably no relation to Perry then - obscure name tho!

David Leadbetter - famous golf coach - born in Worthing
