I used to know his father, the amusingly named Dean, back in the day when he was one of my customers. I thought he was a nice bloke, he doesn’t come out of that Wiki page well though.

No, seems Russell had quite a difficult upbringing. Maybe this informed his charity work?

I went to the Goldstone from 1977 to the end, sans a few years when I lost interest. I stood on the West terrace behind the home dugout and always used to look up to see who was in the directors box. I saw lots of known people over the years, defo remember Ron Greenwood, he was there many times. Last one I remember was Frank Lampard Snr when his son scored his first ever goal at the Goldstone.

We were lucky in that we were just a few seats along from the directors box. Lord of players and managers sat both in front of us and behind. I guess I said hi to Ron Greenwood as well then!

I think we need to determine the definition of a Brightonian. I have always said, that the spirit of Brighton is a transient city, you only need look at our early history to see this but it still holds now. so living there and making it your home, qualifies you imho.

In my experience an ‘ian’ is easily defined by wether you were born within the city walls of the bit before ‘ian’ 😉 I might cut you a little slack if you went to all three schools in Brighton

By contrast, having been born in Brighton but never lived there (or even spent the night as far as I can remember), I do qualify.

Some might think this definition needs a bit of work. On the other hand, bad luck.

Well thankfully, given my first name I am a Brightonian. I was born in North West Surrey, but only lived there in a hospital for ten days. I then spent five weeks in Aldershot and two and a half years in a village near Horsham before moving here. So I'm not sure what the prefix of this Ian is under your definition.

Met him a couple of times when Bobkin Jnr was part of the Russell Martin Academy (now Foundation) and he came down to meet the kids and spend a bit of time with them (and check out how his staff were doing, I guess). Seemed like a decent bloke, so good luck to him this season (apart from tonight, obvs).
