i don't remember howlett

[n1 gull]

i was 13 when we got to the cup final and went to the semi and of course norwich in the quarters, but couldn't get a ticket for the final (although i did go to the replay) but i have no recollection of howlett - who was he? i thought i knew the team but obviously i didn't.

this is all because sky 442 have shown the final tonight.

Gary Howlett (born April 2, 1963) is a former Irish international footballer and member of Brighton & Hove Albion's 1983 FA Cup final team. Dubliner Howlett joined Brighton in the early 1980s, with the highlight of his career being the 1983 final against Manchester United, where he crossed for Gordon Smith to head the first goal in a match that ended 2-2. Manchester United won the replay 4-0.

He won one cap for the Republic of Ireland, against China in 1984. Howlett, who's playing career was hampered by injuries, also played for Bournemouth and York City, before returning to Irish domestic football, and, later on, management.

If I recall we picked up Howlett on a free from Coventry City. He scored on his first start for the 1st team at home to Liverpool. 2-0 up at half time, ended up drawing 2-2.

He did a fantastic bit of skill by-passing two Liverpool players in one swift movement

and said Howlett now works in Dublin airport. Have been told by somebody that he knows that he would be real keen to come along to one of the Irish meet ups. Gonna look into that one sometime.

I remember him as a good player but as said was hampered by bad injuries.

Did he not sign with Kieron O'reagan

 

[cardboard]

He used to live in mile oak crescent when playing for the Albion 3 doors along from me at the time

Yep gary Howlett came from Coventry City on a free about the same time that Kieran O'Reagan came over from Cork. 82/83 I guess.

Good player...he enjoyed the lifestyle in those days, thought he would probable stay here.

Solskjaer?

Apparently was nick-named Fish and could take a drink. Was a bit lightweight and after 1985 the refs allowed assault on the pitch and he drifted off to Bournemouth. Was an Ireland international.
