Remember asking Paul for some advice on a project I was considering a few years ago. He was so helpful, he even came to my house about it and had a coffee and a nice chat.
Also, when I popped into Dicks for lunch a few times he always came over for a chat. Top bloke.

When I worked on a contract for Southern Water across the road a few years back, I took my boss for a lunchtime beer and panini in Dick's Bar . Dodge happened to be passing and stopped for a chat. After he'd gone, my boss asked who that was. I just turned and pointed to the glass engraving on the window directly behind him.

I think Dodge's only problem is that he is just too nice a bloke for the cut throat world of 21st century football administration. Having met him several times and know hm to speak to, he is just one of the most decent blokes you are ever likely to meet.

I'm being really dim here but who is that behind her? I can see Oatway, Cullip, Zamora, FDM, Dodge but can't place this bloke!

It's Crosby.
Always liked Paul. Met him a couple of times and he came across as a lovely bloke. The fact that he was at the cricket with Dick Knight suggests thst whatever happened he still has friends at the Albion.

Directly behind her, can just see his hair and forehead?
I think it's Paul Brooker, definitely not Crosby IMO.

Is it Paul Brooker?

Paul Brooker and Junior Lewis?

The short bloke virtually hidden by the woman is almost certainly Paul Brooker. By a process of elimination, I think the taller guy behind Brooker might be Danny Webb.

There is a picture from a different angle in the programme from the following season:-

It was the bloke whose face you can see (the taller chap) that I was trying to place.
Yes, still think it's Crosby. The hairline glimpse is Brooker!

The taller bloke behind Brooker definitely isn't Crosby - he left in December 2001 to join Oxford United.

AZ Gull is correct, I have just been looking at books etc and Crosby had left. This was the second trophy we won at Withdean 2002 ( Division 2 )

It doesn't look like him, and he had left the club 4 months earlier!
