I had a great time last night.

Unlike Neal Maupay, who's absolutely shite.

I thought Dunk went to Varndean and Solly St Bedes. Not sure about the other two but I'd be surprised seeing as Webster is from Chichester and Hinsh Worthing.
I have just asked a friend on messenger who lives in the Selsey area and he swears blind Webster and Hinslewood both went to Chichester high school, he also said that Tim Peake the astronaut went to the same school. He very knowledgeable of that area so he could be right. The lady may have got Dunk and Solly wrong then.
That is some claim for the school if true.

Did Dunk study for A’levels at BHASVIC? I thought through the system youth players effectively became full time Albion staff at 16. I worked with one who’d been part of the Albion ‘Dean Hammond’ cohort.
Yep, if you sign a scholarship you are full-time with the club. As per this interview in the Guardian when Dunk was still an U-16 schoolboy, once he became a scholar he would do a BTEC in sport science at a college in Lewes:-

In years past Albion have had a few lads continue to play for the youth team even though they remained in full-time education; I think the most recent was Russell Martin who played for the Albion U-19s while at Varndean College studying for his A-levels [for a few seasons there were U-19 and U-17 teams instead of the U-18 teams we have now]. Martin gave that up part way through the season because he found it difficult and felt outside the group because he was training a lot less frequently than the YTS trainees (as they were called then).

Incidentally, that Guardian article of almost 16 years ago contains a very pertinent paragraph:-

Perhaps if Lewis had not forgotten that early lesson, he would have had a chance to add another famous win at his beloved Stamford Bridge.

Thank you, a wealth of information. A wise call by Russell Martin!

4 blokes in front of us missed Jack’s goal as I assume they decided pints were of greater value than 7mins of the game.

Considering weather, on TV and no trains I thought attendance was v ery good. What was queuing for buses like ?
I did my usual hang around for an hour after the final whistle, I was on a bus within five minutes of going the queue, it seemed that most people were clear, which I thought was very impressive. Also got on the first shuttle I could although that was around 5.45pm so a bit early
