For all those moaning about the International break..............

Ten years ago today, we weren't bothered by such things, as we welcomed Northwich Victoria to Withdean for an FA Cup First Round tie.

The team was:

Kuipers
Mayo
Butters
Hinshelwood
Lynch
El Abd
Hammond
Fraser
Robinson
Revell
Cox

Subs:
Gatting
Rents
Santos
Frutos
Sullivan

Albion 8 (Cox 2, Robinson 3, Revell, Gatting, Rents)
Northwich Victoria 0

Att 4,487

That must have passed me by. Also can't believe the programme was £3.

 

[spence]

I was there!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Where are all those players now ?

Half of them must have retired ?

 

[Easy 10]

Joe Gatting on the bench.

*shudder*

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Joe Gatting on the bench.

*shudder*

Why shudder? He liked cricket and football so gave both a go. He also scored.


I was there. NV brought so few fans, they had block A in the South Stand.

Sat in the hospital listening to that on headphones whilst my wife was in labour. She got well irritated.

Six of them haven't, perhaps surprisingly - so not quite half have retired:-

El Abd and Revell have both scored recently (see Goal of the Month competition for El Abd's effort!);
Lynch is at QPR, Hammond at Sheff. Utd.
Cox and Fraser just up the road at Burgess Hill.

Think the rest have probably retired though.

Sam Rents at Whitehawk

11 of the squad had come through the youth team - that won't happen again

The women demand so much from us. Giving up football while they go through labour! How could they?

A fantastic match complete with a Jakey Robinson hat-trick, I was there in the Family Stand. They stuck the Northwich Victoria fans in the Family Stand section to the south next to us and there was one fat drunk Northwich Victoria fan who thought he was hilarious with references to bum sex and Brighton fans, and he was starting to get on our nerves when my son stood on his chair pointed at the bloke and shouted "You're too ugly to be gay". That shut him up, there's no coming back from a 7 year old telling you that.

Wrong game, you are thinking of Boston united. NV had a fairly good following in a stand next to the Family stand.

 

[Petee]

[Thunder Bolt]

Hinsh is part of the youth coaching team at Lancing.

 

[Hiney]

Alex Revell is at Northampton.

And scored against Manchester United earlier this season

Yes, you're right. I realised when I read Buzzer's post.

Hemel Hempstead's goalkeeping coach is Dmitri Kharine, for fans of 1990s flair icons.

Sam Rents at Whitehawk

Fair point - I was only looking at the team, not the subs.

Jake Robinson is at Hemel Hempstead. Alex Revell is at Northampton.

My errors: I typed 'Fraser' when I meant 'Revell' (now corrected on my OP) - and I forgot about Jake. Apologies!
