Steve Foster appears to live near Tesco In Hove the one opposite the Dyke Tavern.
Until recently he dropped his kids or grandchildren off at a school in Highcroft Villas most mornings.
On one occasion months ago, as I walked past Fozzy as got out of his car, Mark Mcgee also walked past. It looked like he was on what appeared to be a power walk. Both appeared to recognise, but not acknowledge each other.

I recently watched a recording of his performance of a few years ago ( after he left us) in a Motherwell v Hibs match. Result 6-6 !

Gildredge House school also has Danny Simmonds in their staff football team - he is a woodwork teacher and now a Deputy Head I think...

Your 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!
Wow, blast of nostalgia. Brings some memories back that.

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!"

Nope, one and the same. He started off in the youth system at Norwich City - Flown From the Nest - Dan Ashworth
He also played for Hastings Town and St Leonards - Danny Ashworth
He also played for Wisbech Town and Diss Town - Dan Ashworth: From Norfolk, to the World Cup - and now to Brighton

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.

Changed their name because if the reason you had to do this post. Nobody outside of Eastbourne knew where it was and they wanted more sponsorship. I used to play darts with a board member and he told me before the change. They had their own mini Bloom in Len Smith who grew the club.
Back on topic if no-one has mentioned it yet, Mayo is a cold calling phone salesman.

Just read the report. To tell you about Sports, you just need to know that I played 5 a side against some of that team around that time. In a local league. Imagine them being allowed to do that now. I know it was Nigel Hole, Mick Green and Steve Dell. Can't remember the other two but they were Sports star players. Mick Green was tragically killed in a trench collapse and has a stand named after him.
He was still running it when Park Run last took place back in March. I’ve not been there since but see no reason why that would have changed.
