There is a commemorative plaque on 238 Dyke Road, on the corner of Wincombe Road. It's a replica of the Community Shield in recognition of director Noah Clrak

Ah thanks! That's the one I was confusing him with. (I knew Dyke Road came into it somewhere with regard to some sort of plaque and Albion connection!)

Thank you everyone, heroes. There's a plaque in Frith Road, Hove, on his family home but last i saw the current owners had let it get overgrown.

Unveiling the plaque was a lovely little event at a terribly difficult time for the Albion. I believe the story was told that Charlie Webb often took the turnstile takings home with him - Frith Road is the shortest of walks from the Goldstone. He must have had help - 10,000 threepenny pieces must have weighed something. Presumably he kept them under the bed until Monday morning.

On a related subject... later on, not long before we left Withdean, a tree to commemorate our presence was planted in the woods near the entrance. Invitations were sent out and quite a few press turned up, including the telly, and a small gathering waited for the council parks & gardens department to deliver what was needed. They arrived just before the BBC and brought everything except... the tree. Martin Perry's recovery from this awful situation was one of the finest pieces of management initiative I have ever seen. He dashed into the undergrowth and returned with a medium-sized branch. As I recall (others may correct me) it was stuck in the ground and everyone pretended it was actually a sapling.

No vote from me. I clicked on 'password reset', and then on the link provided in the council's subsequent email. This resulted in message "Error. Page not available"

Bloody council.

 

[Jack Straw]

Done. Now 169. Bloody Council!

... and the Southern League winners shield if I am not mistaken.

Petition signed - what good is a commemorative tree without a plaque?

Good work.

Yes, the Southern League shield is under one of the other eaves of the same building.

Thank you all. My replies are taking a while to show cos I'm a newbie so my posts need reviewing first. I am grateful though.
