Well he was an apprentice clown when he kept goal at Withdean.
Ashley Neal is a driving instructor in St Helens.I am tempted to comment on this but maybe that would be unkind.....
Stuart Myall is a teacher at Gildredge House school in Eastbourne. Or was, as of 2019.
Stuart Tuck works at Varndean School as a "PE Technician", whatever that is https://www.varndean.co.uk/staff
Gildredge House school also has Danny Simmonds in their staff football team - he is a woodwork teacher and now a Deputy Head I think...
... The speedy Danny Ashworth also created problems with some menacing runs down the right. ...
No, no,
no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, Nogan!
Pretty sure thats a different Danny AshworthYour post prompted me to look up Simmonds on wikipedia. There is a link to an Eastbourne Herald report of the Sussex Senior Cup final in May 1992 (Albion v Langney Sports; Simmonds, a former Sports youngster, came on as a sub for Albion and was booed by the Sports' fans, apparently) - Hole's moment of agony in great Goldstone fight
Anyway, the most interesting thing in that report is this:-
Yep, our now Technical Director "Danny" Ashworth was playing for Sports back then!

Nope.. random article on "Langney Sports" (whatever that is) website:
"DANNY TO DAN Veteran Langney Sports followers, from a couple of decades back, will remember him well – a neat, intelligent right-sided attacker with a zippy turn of pace. Danny Ashworth served the Sports well before moving on to higher things – all the way to the top, in fact, as the FA Technical Director. Now, as a crisper and more executive Dan Ashworth, he plans to leave his influential post at the FA to take up a similar role at Brighton and Hove Albion. A good time to renew the links and friendships? Welcome back to Sussex, Dan/ny!"
Langney is an area to the east of Eastbourne (a town in East Sussex). They had their own team, Langney Sports, who started out in the '60s playing on local recreation grounds (Eastbourne had, and still do, two other senior clubs, Town and United). They gradually grew and that 1992 game was their first appearance in the Sussex Senior Cup final.
As they became more successful, they changed their name in the summer of 2001 to be Eastbourne Borough (to reflect the town they play in). They now play in the National League South and are the biggest club in the town.
Andy Rollings used to have the cafe in Preston Park.
Does he not run it any more? In the noughties and 2010’s, we took our kids there regularly. Nice cakes.
