[Albion] Do you personally know any ex-Albion players?

[Goldstone Rapper]

Occasionally, I see threads where people mention various former Brighton players that they personally know. For example, quite a lot of people seem to know Teddy Maybank, Gary Williams, Andy Rollings and Peter O'Sullivan, as they are very sociable and still kicking it around these parts, long after their careers have ended.

From memory, I think various NSCers know Pat Hilton, Peter Ward, Tony Vessey, Mick Conway and Steve Piper.

Anyway, in the interest of establishing connections, I'd like to see who knows who. From a personal level, I might be interested in trying to get an interview with some of them, either for my blog or for Viva Brighton magazine, which interviews an ex-Brighton player each month. I guess other people might have their own reasons for getting into contact.

(Of course, and I hope it ought to be able to go without saying, please don't post anything like mobile numbers or addresses here!)

Thanks!

I snogged Gary Williams missus in the bog at a party in Southwick in 1987 whilst dressed as a St Trinians schoolgirl.

Why were you dressed as a St Trinians schoolgirl?

Slightly OT....my wife has in the past 2 weeks befriended the sister of Alex South, she is in her 80's now and did the Amex tour last year. They met, by chance, via the MyBrighton&Hove website when she was looking for old school class mates. I remember Alex as a tall, fair haired centre half in the same squad as Eric Gill, Des Tennent, Frankie Howard et all. Small world....

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Mark Ormerod. He used to lodge at our house.

I played Sunday League with Maybank and Nelson. Would be a stretch to say I 'know them personally' now, mind. Not met either of them in 20 years!

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Virgs. Top bloke.

I've met quite a few of them and the only one I didnt like was Dean Hammond.

 

[El Presidente]

Eric Steele. He used to live a few doors down from me and still see him when he visits his mum who is around the corner.
