Famous Brighton Fans

[33057 Seagull]

Did see one of the Levellers wearing an Albion away shirt when they played V Festival a few years ago.

Seen them down Withdean, a few years ago though.
Lets not forget Peter from (Test Tube Babies) and Judge John Deed (Martin Shaw)watched the Albion in a number of episodes)

Wasn't there a musical director or conductor or some sort - used to wear a dickie bow in the South Stand at Withdean.

I believe that Cormac Murphy-O'Connor is also an Albion fan. As is his boss.

That is Gavin Henderson

 

[Washboard Didgets]

Our celeb list is paltry compared to Chrystal Mighty FC's - and there isn't a comedian alive who doesn't support Palace (make your own gags) Izzard, Brand, Corbett and countless others I can't remember. Even Norman Cook used to be a Palace fan ffs!

Russell Brand is a West Ham fan, not Palace.

***

Midfield General is Damien Harris, he runs Skint and was obviously heavily involved in them sponsoring us.

I was born and grew up in Crawley and became a Brighton fan, don't know that many from Crawley though. Although there are 3 of us where I work in Crawley Ind Estate (about 20% of the workforce).

Crawley has quite a few more Palace fans from my experience.

 

[The Mole]

Don't forget the journos:

Spencer Vignes
Nick Szczepanik
Nick Hayward
Mike Ward

and

*one more nat'l newspaper geezer?*

And David Lacey - one of the best football writers around

The reference is to Jo Brand

 

[Norman Potting]

Would it be an idea for the REMF to write to all our celeb fans for details of their Albion memories to compile into a book to sell to raise funds.

Just a thought.

Her name is Robyn Schoenhofer

It is she used to partner Jeremy Kyle on radio until he went to TV. She used to frequent these boards until a picture of her was published on here and she got a load of vile abuse about the way she looks (She is not a page 3 stunner probably why she sticks with Radio and did not follow Jeremy Kyle onto telly) which caused her a lot of upset.

A very nice person and a true Albion fan pitty some decided that was not enough.

Charlie Watts ( drummer...some nondescript band....." Rolling...something "....)

Bill Wyman once wore a Palace shirt at a Stones gig in Brighton, in that venue that used to above the Regent cinema in Queens Road ...

You're scraping the bottom of the barrel now with the second name on that list! (and it's PAUL Hayward, of course)

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

You're scraping the bottom of the barrel now with the second name on that list! (and it's PAUL Hayward, of course)

The spelling's correct though, it took some of us 7 years to manage that.

I disagree. Exposure of the Albion cause to a wider audience through a national newspaper is worthy of celebrity status to most fans, Agent Szczepanik.

I went to school with Theakston. Expelled for stealing other kids cheque books, forging their signatures and cashing them in. The irony ....

So you criticise people for having a go about the way she looks and then virtually say she has a face for radio - good one!!

For what it's worth, I've met her 2 or 3 times and she is absolutely f***ing lovely. Lovely looking and a lovely person.

I've not met her but I from the photos I've seen I would NOT say she is "a face for radio". In fact I'd probably say 0 pints.

Definite Albion fan - I worked on his Heart show a few years back and when I went into the first meeting, we talked about the Albion for half an hour and I pretty much got the job there and then

No, that was your own judgement my judgment would probably have been the same as Robyns that the world of TV likes their women to look perfect (There is a case in the tribunal now that is based on the way a woman looked) and preferably young.

louise nurding appeared in near-sexy albion shirt promos... around the priestfield years.

i always presumed this as a sign of loyalty... and diehard support, obviously.

therefore by such logic, all nice sussex girls are albion fans, and we can include holly willoughby in that.
