[Albion] Ex players. Where are they now?

[Cowfold Seagull]

I just pulled into a petrol station and on the next pump was banger racer #107-Zamora Racing on a trailer towed by a shonky old white transit.
Could be.
But I doubt it.

A safe assumption l feel sure.

Graeme Smith works for Zippos circus as a clown and apprentice juggler.

You could not make it up.

Well he was an apprentice clown when he kept goal at Withdean.

I suspect that ship has long since sailed.

Yes.

John Keeley is Portsmouth Goalkeeping coach and next June will become my brother in law when he marries Mrs H’s sister.

Did you give your consent just to KEEP ‘ER in the family?!!

Oh, yes, here ALL week!

Brighton LEGEND (86-87) David Roberts moved to Bodens BK in Sweden and played there for 22 years and is now running a local sports store.

Thanks for this [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] - I LOVE hearing about former Albion players, and the more obscure the better. Roberts was released by Southampton during his U-16 schoolboy season but spent two years as a trainee at Albion between 1987 and 1989. Unfortunately he was no Ben White and was released at the end of the scheme. One of his fellow trainees was Stephen March - Solly's dad!

This is the full Albion squad in 1987-88 - Roberts is the second from right on the front row (half kneeling, next to Steve Penney). March is fourth from left on the back row, next to goalkeeper Trevor Wood:-

Haha.. you know em all.

Another one from Brighton who went to Sweden is Giles Stille, who was first a player and then a coach here for a lot of years. No idea what he is doing now.

Lee Steele is a football tax adviser in Liverpool.

To address a couple from page one...

Nogan was doing fine in Preston/Burnley area after he retired. Enjoyed a few beers.

FDM was Locadia's agent while he was with us. I'd imagine he's set for life if he had any cut of the fee that brought JL here.

Johnny Byrne remains an absolute prince

FDM works in insurance now, I believe.

His wife worked at 1st Central in Haywards Heath a few years back.

Gavin Geddes can be found regularly tweeting about bhafc! His profile says he writes films.

Last I heard Gavin Geddes was in prison. Was a delivery driver prior to that.

Gerry Ryan was a great landlord at the Witch Inn until his stroke forced him to sell.

 

[amexer]

Can you name ex Albion player who became Bradford City groundsman

 

[Bodian]

Does Chris Cattlin still own/run the rock shop on Kings Road - is it still there?

 

[Murray 17]

FDM works in insurance now, I believe.

You'd have thought he'd have gone back to cooking.

Robert Codner apparently became a football agent.
*Solly March was/is on his books.

Last I heard Gavin Geddes was in prison. Was a below average getaway driver prior to that.

Never heard of him.

Allan Gilliver. He went on to become commercial manager for them. Sadly now suffering from dementia.
