Just who was your childhood Albion hero?

[Insel affe]

70s Peter Ward
80s Terry Connor
90s Kurt Nogan
00s Bobby Zamora



Im still a big kid, before anyone says owt.

 

[Bromley shrimp]

and it was on MOTD

Yes Lawrenson played midfield for quite a while after that. Class player.

My boyhood heroes - ward and Mellor, although for some strange reason I used to like Harry wilson, ginger haired left back.

Harry was quality.

Another vote for Ken Beamish, although all I can remember is him scoring from 30 years against Rotherham in a promotion season (71/72?). Agree that Lawrenson was the best player I ever saw in an Albion shirt, also had a soft spot for little Eric Potts, epecially after he scored two in the last couple of minutes to beat Sunderland.

I liked a lot of the players already mentioned but 1 player i really liked and im not sure why thinking about it was steve jacobs

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Brian Powney.He was very big when I was very small!And can't remember any other Albion players from Seaford,although I'm sure other posters will find at least 1

I used to see him play for Seaford Sunday when I lived there - outfield player, think he managed the side as well. As for other pros from Seaford, the only one I know is Tony Funnell who I played with in Chyngton primary school team. He went on to play for Southampton, Brentford and Bournemouth.

My favourite as a child was Jimmy Langley.

 

[Socky]

steve piper cos he was my brothers mate and used to come round our house.

 

[rcf0712]

Ken Beamish

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Terry Connor for me,That team Cattlin was starting to build was a very good side..until he left and it all started to go wrong.

 

[severnside gull]

Kit Napier (naturally)
Wally Gould
Stewart Henderson
John Templeman (because he was "homegrown" and my sister fancied him)




.................oh, and a vote for Pountney in goal

 

[TonyW]

Peter Ward

 

[Storer68]

Graham Winstanley for me. Good solid pro who never got much of a look in once we'd established the fact that Lawrenson was world class..........

 

[On the Left Wing]

Kit Napier

and a short way behind: Charlie Livesey
