Did you play with a famous footballer at school or sunday league teams.

[Rowdey]

Had the mis-fortune to play against Ian Chapman in Sunday league when i played for Bevendean Barcelona.

 

[Commander]

Played in the same team as Pele while at school in Brasil.

 

[Cappers]

@Cappers I seem to remember you were the only one that 'payed' their subs
I was a lino when Mr Maybank spent eighty nine minutes being offside----then I gave him off when he was on
Also one of their forwards headed the ball harder than any of our lot could kick it

Coincidentally came across some old photos the other day and found the team picture we took before the game. I'll scan it and show it to you next time our paths cross

I've got a photo somewhere of you getting an award-----------think it was 'Most Goals Let In'----------you look about thirteen

Ive played against our own Lewis Dunk and against Grant Hall. Victor Moses was 3-4 years above me and I watched him play against our school, he ripped us to shreds. I think we lost about 12-2 and he scored 9 of them and assisted the others if I remember correctly

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Against Andy Frampton of Palace, Millwall, Brentford and Gillingham fame.

As a youngster I played in the same team as Steve Brown(ex Charlton, and Albion youth team coach), and although he was a couple of years younger than us, Stuart Tuck trained with us as his older brother was in the team. And played regularly against Simon Rodger. Rodger was quality as a kid, and Brown was solid and reliable and worked hard to become a pro, whilst the 'stars' of the team disappeared up their own egos

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Played with Gerry Armstrong and against Gerry Ryan in Sussex Sunday League. Played in same Army team as Guy Whittingham.

I played in a team with Guy, it was some RAOC or RCT type tournament and he was in our team? Some time ago mind!

 

[Albion Rob]

AGAINST Gareth Barry

I must've played against YOU.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Played against several ex pros, the best of whom was Steve Gatting and Bobby Stokes (Southampton)

 

[Worthingite]

Played against Elliot Bennett! Could tell straight away he was quality......played with Jamie brotherton, Sam Gargan, and jerahl Hughes, all pottering around the semi pro leagues, although Sam gargans now in conference south

J-Bro is/was utter quality for Worthing a couple of seasons ago.

I blame the centre-halves

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I blame the centre-halves

How about Steve Petchy? he had a famous dad

 

[Philzo-93]

Played against Victor Moses and Jake Forster-Caskey.

Two separate occasions. JFC commanded the midfield whilst Moses just stayed on the wing/touchline where he would just receive the ball and drill across goal, setting up sweaty goal after sweaty goal.

 

[albion534]

J-Bro is/was utter quality for Worthing a couple of seasons ago.

im good mates with him and since he's worked on his fitness, banged in the goals, keep telling him to stay fit cause hes so skillful, just lazy, regulary gets 10+ goals from the wings each season

 

[doug7126]

Played with and against Gareth Barry, Duncan McArthur and Scott Ramsey. Played against Ben Andrews an Will Packham (he also kept me out of the county side, which is probably an indictment of how 'good' I was). I'm told I played against Ashley Cole in the quarter finals of some national cup but I lost the programme so can't be sure! Also played against Mike Yardy at football a few times while at school (Hampden Park).

I was in the albion youth with Scott and Gareth too soo maybe we played against each other at some point?

 

[Pevenseagull]

Played cricket against James Kirtley and Ed Giddins.

I didn't trouble the scorer on either occasion

 

[shoreham seagull 1973]

I played in a team with Guy, it was some RAOC or RCT type tournament and he was in our team? Some time ago mind!

It was at the RA Depot in Woolwich (not a great reference considering recent events) he was representing an Army eleven against a RA Depot and QEMH side and i played a half for each. Could not catch him to kick him, much to the hilarity of the supporters.

 

[Frutos]

I did play with a famous footballer once, but I can't discuss it for legal reasons.
