Jacob Cohen

First Isreali International. Solid defender.

Two Peruvian blokes Mullery almost signed

For sitting near me at the Fulham away game.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Steve Foster for buying me a shandy when we used go to a different pub every Mondays night to make the draw for the Seagull Lottery.
Each night was a different player in attendance, and he was the only one who ever bought me a drink. top bloke.

 

[Playing On The Grit]

A fairly recent one:
Zesh Rehman - for being really rather good his first time with us then utter rubbish on his return!

Hmmm, Who does that sound like?!!

Alan Duffy - ex Newcastle, good striker
Barry Bridges - ex England International

 

[backson]

Larry May
Mick Ferguson
Don Shanks
Graham Pierce

And Sammy Nelson's son in law is none other than Matt Prior

 

[jharris]

Mike Ring, forward, local lad hardly played and ended up with Horton at Hull.
Any Ansah, popular bubbly character during the Gillingham days, was with dream team on Sky.
Micky Bennett, built like a bring s**t house.
Damian Hilton, striker on loan from Norwich, awful !

 

[DIFFBROOK]

Peter Grummitt - Albion Keeper who was between te sticks when I first started going

Fred Binney - ditto, but as a striker with a dodgy tache

Eric Steele - used to come along to our school

Frank Stapleton
Jack Dineen

 

[Russell Slade's hat]

Phil Stant for looking like "Enimen's dad " - Des Lynam

Percy Rojas and Juan Oblitas.

for NOT being the equivalent of Ossie Ardilles and Ricky Villas

 

[Brightonfan1983]

steve penny , dennis mortimer , both played there hearts out

Crikey, Dennis Mortimer, I remember him, he cam to us with a great great history, big times at Villa I do believe. Eurpean Cup winner!

Robert Codner, for working in the City and playing for us at the same time. Coke use unproven/untrue.

 

[R. Slicker]

Graham Winstanley, Got his autograph in the late 70's when the players got off the special train. Had no idea who he was Because he had glasses on. Luckily his autograph was readable.

 

[the wanderbus]

that PNE player who scored two own goals when we beat them 5-1 in the late 70's



.

That'll be Mick Baxter.


Kevan Brown

 

[Teddy Maybank]

Paul Clark, looked like a caveman, from our glorious team of the late seventies.
Peter Smith for being spectacularly shit everytime I saw him.

 

[jharris]

Wozzer Aspinall, the barrel, but really skillful
Stafford Browne, prolific trialist, but not when signed

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Peter Grummitt - Albion Keeper who was between te sticks when I first started going

Fred Binney - ditto, but as a striker with a dodgy tache

Eric Steele - used to come along to our school

I wonder what the greatest Albion tache-tastic side would be like. Probably with Binney and Ward (circa 1983) up front.

 

[Golden Oldie]

Nooooo, It wasn't Bill Cassidy it was Jack Smith who made up the famous five. Also from that team come the names Jack Bertolini and Mel Hopkins .

Mel by the way, can be seen sitting in E block south stand for many home games.

Should be the Famous Six really. All six scored at least 10 goals, even though Cassidy was only the Reserve forward (didn't have subs in those days!). I think they got 101 League goals that season - happy days!

 

[Golden Oldie]

Charlie Livesey for still being in the pub around the corner from Griffin Park when we were already in the ground.
