Remember this team ?

[Jimmy Grimble]

Pretty sure most people will recognise this and will be sligtly shocked, possibly more intruiged to know none of them were Sussex born players.

Gk - Eric Steele - Born Newcastle

Df - Chris Cattlin - Born Milnro
Df - Andy Rollings - Born North Weston
Df - Mark Lawrenson - Born Preston
Df - Gary Williams - Born Liverpool
Df - John Gregory - Born Scunthorpe

Mf - Brian Horton - Born Hednesford
Mf - Paul Clark - Born South Benfleet
Mf - Peter O'Sullivan - Born Colwyn Bay

Mf/Fw - Gerry Ryan - Born Dublin

Fw - Peter Ward - Born Derby
Fw - Tedy Maybank - Born London


Interesting to see none of those players originated from Sussex, unlike our current batch of players, a fair few of whom are Sussex-born.

Yep - my recollection of Cattlin he that he came out the tunnel before the game (where we used to stand) and nicked a handfull of my popcorn.

I was thinking the other day what I missed about the Goldstone...


.. a cup of chips.

Even allowing for Teddy`s off days that was a great team - Sussexless or not -
God how I wish we were putting that lot out this afternoon.

No wonder they did well. There were 12 of them. Do you reckon we'd get away with that today?

 

[Jim D]

There may have been 12 but nobody knew as Maybank was always invisible.

 

[NMH]

That team could have done with Tony Towner though

5-3-1-2 of course.

Thats where MaClaren went wrong I suppose.

That along with being born

It's a fairly recent, and welcome, thing that we have loads of Sussex players now.
From about 1965 to 1995 there were very few.

What a team. Mark Lawrenson, the best player we've ever had, Nobby Horton the best captain & Peter Ward the best striker. Happy days
