Verner (?) - instant NSC legend

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Not sure I have spelt your name correctly Verner, but in my eyes, you're a NSC legend.

For those who didn't hear it on the Fans Phone-In, Verner is a Dutch fan of the Albion who comes over to the UK for two or three games a year. He was intelligent, well informed and funny. A proper Albion fan and apparently he follows the Albion via NSC.

Verner - take a bow.

 

[Smithy]

Yeah I heard that. Top guy.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Vern's a DUDE!

 

[orange zeemeeuw]

did anyone catch where in NL he was from? He said the East but I missed the city/town as my girlfreind was wittering away about something un-important.

Being a Seagull exiled in NL, I'm always curious to hear of other fans over here.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I dodn't catch the name - small town in the North I think he said.

 

[Wozza]

This guy needs to befriend some locals who will put him up when he's over.

 

[crasher]

Said he's next over for the Carlisle game. Top man - couldn't even explain why he supports Brighton, he just does!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Seemed like a top bloke. Great fan. Does he post on here?

 

[chimneys]

Must agree!! Verner-much, much respect!! You put a lot of local fair weather fans to shame!!

Love the fact you cant remember why you first started following the Albion as well!

And rejecting the "big clubs"!

You must make sure you are over for first match at Falmer.

 

[Laughing Gravy]

I heard him. WHAT A LEGEND. If you are over next season verner i would gladly give up my season ticket at The Amex for whatever game you want (as long as its not the first)

Well done buddy

Sure that would not be a problem in Brighton!!

 

[We're the Stripes]

Shared a taxi to Withdean with a couple of Dutch Albion fans a few years ago, said they came over for a few games a season. One of them may have been said Verner?

Seemed like top blokes anyway.

Likewise! Brilliant to hear.

He obviously follows Brighton for the sexy vootball of the shuper sheagulls .

Good on you. There should be an honorary orange Seagulls flag at the Amex in your honour.

 

[Homebird]

I think he said he was from Forde or Forden, something like that.

 

[brightonlass2009]

It's spelt Werner and he's from Vorden.
Really lovely guy. He told me before he was coming over and was very confident he would be making the trip to see Brighton win. He was right,

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

i f***ing lurv de dutch man. i'm telling you.

 

[FOOTSKI]

3 OR 4 games a season great effort but what a shame he could not remember how he became a seagulls fan.

He just fell in love...you don't know when it will happen, or why. It just happens and the Albion has just seduced him!

 

[orange zeemeeuw]

Cool. Well I hope he reads this. It was a nice story. I'll also hopefully have access to a season ticket next year that Werner is welcome to use if he I'm not going )

Me and my brother live in Amsterdam and have managed to convert two other Dutch guys who have been on various trips with us. We're doing our bit!
