Mike Ring - Remember him ?

[Spunk Bubble]

He seemed to be with the Albion for years but never, ever played. Talk about patience !!

 

[BensGrandad]

He was 'one for the future' but the future never arrived.

 

[ditchy]

Product of the Peacehaven Youth team !

 

[Seagull Stew]

You're absolutely right, he was!

I think he was about 6ft tall and 7 ft wide if my memory is right.

Ooh, let's name some other players who have been at the club for years but hardly ever played. (Goalkeepers don't count).

Franco Massimo.

Maheta Malongo

 

[BigGully]

Yep...Mike Ring was from Peacehaven

Made his one and only league appearance for Brighton against Wolves.

He was very quick and not wide at all !! very slim !!

Think he played in every division in Britain !!

Last heard living in Portslade way...selling turf to golf clubs !!!

 

[Spunk Bubble]

David Gipp. Midget for the reserves. Got a few goals though

 

[Seagull Stew]

He was very quick and not wide at all !! very slim !!

Who am I thinking of then?

 

[BensGrandad]

Glen Geard who, when he was 16, Mullery said would play for England but reached the heights, in his 20s of Sussex County League. May even still be playing in the county league.

Franco Massimo.

Went to school with Franco's big brother, Tony. Last I saw of Tony, he was working in a hairdressers in Horsham! God knows where Franco ended up.

[Since1982]

Yep...Mike Ring was from Peacehaven

Made his one and only league appearance for Brighton against Wolves.

I recall him coming on as a second half sub in the famous 7-0 drubbing of Charlton and his appearance coincided with the flood of goals drying up - but it was a long time ago and my memory may be playing tricks.

What year was that and what division ..

Old div 2 and 1983 - are you going to tell me my memory is dodgy!

 

[Al Bion]

I think he also came on as sub in a League Cup tie at Huddersfield. He was a bit of a hero of mine as we went to the same school (Tideway) though he was a couple of years above me.

Pretty sure he played in every division.

BHA against Wolves (Div 1)
BHA against Charlton if thats correct takes care of Div 2
I think he went on to play for Hull and Grimbsy

You have had a few ex pros from Tideway !!

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Dale Jasper as well?
