Re Wally Gould

[shaunslater-gould]

Hi All, im Wally Gould's son Shaun and im trying to find his 1964 Brighton shirt,
We had an email from a gentleman called David Dresch who spotted his shirt in a second hand shop in brighton for £12, but when he went back for it the folowing day it had been sold, so I know it's still around... If anyone could help me it would be amazing to reunite Wally with his shirt. my email address is slatergoulds@ntlworld.com or contact number 07880726113

Shaun: I would also contact the Argus. It's a good story which hopefully should interest them and I'm sure they can help out with your search.

If you haven't already, you might want to try and get hold of Tim Carder, chair of the Brighton & Hove Albion Historians' Society.

Hope you find it Shaun.
Your father was a member of the first Brighton team I ever watched....the 64/65 4th Division championship winners. 102 league goals were scored that season and six players reached double figures. Leading scorer ( playing out on the wing ) was Wally with 21.
As he charged down the flanks Wally had a regular habit of spitting and my late father always used to check the wind direction to make sure we weren't in the ' firing line '
Good Luck

Happy memories. What a team that was.

Good luck

He was my first Albion hero. A REAL legend.

He was my first Albion hero. A REAL legend.

As my father and I tended to stand pitchside ( against the wall ) we always got a close up of Wally and Johnny Goodchild ( another goal scoring winger ! ) Although the sheer presence of Bobby Smith caught my eye, I think its fair to say that in those early days Wally was also our favourite.

try and get something put in the next matchday programme?

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

He was on his way out when i started watching, which was a shame as he was a big favorite & I don't think I ever saw him play.

How is he now, didn't he go to south Africa with some of the other Albion players?

And how about you, young mr gould, are you a Sussex lad or just after a prezzie for your dad, which is fair enough.

Good story anyway, which is bound to be picked up, and here's hoping you get the shirt!.

I wish we had players like Wally these days.He was a star,and if you've got his shirt ruddy well give it back.


NOW.
