Slowest Brighton player you've seen?

[Lady Whistledown]

Warren Aspinall, surely?

Absolutement.

He was worth the admission price for his comedy value, surely? Considering he was a monstrously proportioned ex-Portsmouth player with more pies than goals in him, I was rather fond of Warren, from my South Stand vantage point

Alex Dawson, played in the same team as the fastest David Armstrong.

Is Darren Newman still trying to catch a long gone striker at the Goldstone?

Grant Horscroft. Shockingly slow.

A race between Trusson, Berry and Joe Gatting would look like this;

A race between Trusson, Berry and Joe Gatting would look like this;

A race between Horscroft, Trusson, Berry and Joe Gatting would look like this;

Its funny - I just remember Horscroft being RUBBISH, rather than particularly SLOW. Trusson however was painfully slow. I think he gave away something like THREE of the Kelvin Morton penalties, by arriving on the scene 30 seconds after the ball had gone.

You're all wrong it is Willie Young. I remember going to watch Brighton v Pompey (late 80s)at Fratton park when a certain Mr Hateley was playing up front for pompey. He ran him ragged all afternoon....it was embarassing. Think he's still there waiting for the vet to arrive and put him down!

It pissed down with rain and we got spanked 5-1.

Wtf are you on about?

Racism, and my age - you'll need to back those two up, new boy (or girl).

I see you are a lurker and have referred to other posts to make such an accusation, so you must know I can be quite rude to morons like you who are too thick to know wtf they are talking about.

As I recall he sent Trusson off after he conceded the FIRST of the three penalties awarded in the first hal - Trusson is now an FA Coach!

The return match still holds a place in the English League record books thanks to a certain referee named Kelvin Morton: 5 penalties, 4 to Palace, 3 missed, 2 scored &1 man sent off.
Eagle Eye caught the mood perfectly although we managed to win 2-1 against 10 men, we had missed a golden opportunity to inflict a modern-day hiding on our most hated rivals. Early in the game, Wrighty scored the goal he later claimed was the best of his Palace career, that was before Mr.Morton stepped in. Brighton's midfielder Trusson was dismissed and Bright converted the first of three penalties given before Half Time. Bright and then Wright contrived to miss.

Kelvin calmed down in the second half, only managing to award two spot-kicks, the first of those was to Brighton which gave them an undeserved consolation, but Pembo stole the show, his rocket up and almost over the Holmesdale reduced both sets of fans to hysterical laughter. It is perhaps fitting that this to date is our last League meeting with them, nothing will top it and the game can still be found in a surprising number of fan's video collections. That season Palace escaped Division Two via the play-offs, whilst Brighton finished 19th.

One of our football coaches Mike Trusson said the following:


Grassrootscoaching.com and The FA have worked together and designed a resource for the sixteen categories of coaching topics that form the curriculum of the new FA Level 2 coaching course

The new FA Level 2 badge challenges the coaches to think for themselves, be innovative and design, plan and then coach their own sessions, using what they have learnt on the course as a foundation for this process.

One of our football coaches Mike Trusson said the following:


"As a FA Qualified Level 2 Tutor I attended a number of induction courses where the new practical curriculum was explained and demonstrated. I have also now delivered a number of FA Level 2 Courses using this new curriculum and there is no doubt in my mind that the new Level 2 is a far better course. It is much more relevant to football, it is far more interesting, dynamic, innovative and exciting. The end result is coaches who go back to their clubs far better equipped to provide and stimulate players with exciting sessions that will better develop technical skills and sessions that are structured to progress the players learning through posing real, match like situations that test their decision making process in the correct use of these techniques and skills.


Whilst tutoring on the new FA Level 2 courses, I was struck by the fact that the candidates on the course had a lot of new and different coaching information to contend with and precious little in the way of educational support, outside of the practical demonstrations on the course, to help them with learning, planning and implementing the coaching sessions that form the new practical curriculum.


The information contained within the online educational resource is structured to the requirements of the new FA Level 2 practical curriculum and whilst the sessions are suggested practices, they lay down the principles and the structures that candidates will be taught on the course. Each topic has its own online video tutorial along with down loadable print outs of the sessions. In addition, as a member of grassrootscoaching.com, you will have full access to our easy to use design software Coaches Chalkboard, which will allow you to plan, design, save, share and print your own innovative sessions, which is a major requirement of the new FA level 2 badge .
