Dried Goldstone grass sent.
Was always my favourite player as a youngster. And I'm sure I wasn't the only one who had a secret man crush on him. Not something you could openly admit to in the 70s. How times have changed.
I also remember getting a little excited by the home internationals at the possibility he might get selected for Wales, and a little sense of pride when he was. At least I think it was the home internationals when he made his Wales appearances.

Was a post match regular at a fish restaurant I worked at in the 70s. With his Mrs, a true gent! Wishing him well.

Sad news and wish him well,saw him play a good few times in a different era of football where your wide man would often take on his defender and get round the back or cut inside. So different from 27 passes to get to the half way line only to play it back. I know which style of football i prefer.

really nice to see. don't want to digress, but this is exactly the sort of thing local community newspapers should be there for.
re sully: he was before my time but that's only meant that my idea of him as a player is somewhat folkloreish, based upon stories from older relatives, but from what I've been told, he was some player. hope he recovers well.

To Our Brighton Family,
I have been contacted by Kim (Sully's Wife) and I cannot give details at this time about his health but she is possibly going to be in need of items if and when Sully comes home so we would like to ask on Sully's behalf if anyone has any of the following items and if possible they could be delivered to Sully's home:
Wheelchair
Armchair
Hospital bed table
Wet chair that can be used in the bathtub
Please private message me so I can get you in touch with her and please ONLY serious inquiries on these items and that you are in fact able to deliver these items to their home in Shoreham by Sea as Kim does not have the means to do this and is busy taking care of Sully.
Thank you all so much for any help and please keep Sully & Kim in your prayers
Much Love to you all x

I've emailed Kim as might be able to help with supply of medical equipment.

Nice one. Let's hope they do, but if not the fantastic, unique group that is NSC will no doubt rally round and do what we can.

Late to this as I thought, at a glance, it was Solly who had a cold or something.
Memories of Sully. I went to his testimonial dinner way way back and met many people including the great man himself. Things were put up for auction but my Dad, a very shrewd man, bid on nothing. Instead, at the end of the evening we had a chat with Peter and purchased his notes for his speach that night for £5. Sadly I don't know what happened to them.
Will forever remember him as a star of the Goldstone and wish him a speedy recovery.

Not awoke
Here’s hoping …seeing that list of things required kinda brings it home …seeing as they still live in Shoreham I’m wondering if they would like some free lawn cuts as a way of practical help

It will not harm to contact Brian Owen to pass your offer on.

I have asked a close contact of the family if there will be further help required, perhaps adaptations to the house etc. I will keep you updated

Hi All. Just wanted to set the record straight with regard to Sullys current plight. Despite me emailing The Argus asking them to update their factually flawed article three times now, I have had no response, so I thought everyone would want to know that Sully is NOT at home recovering. He was admitted back into hospital on Thursday (to Worthing this time), and is not in a good way. Whilst the exact prognosis for the great man is uncertain at this time, what is certain is that the road ahead will be very challenging. He desperately wants to come home but Kim simply cannot care for him 24/7. Whilst obviously we cannot help provide care (I did approach the club but despite a very nice email back from Paul Barber it was made clear they cannot make exceptions for individuals), is there any practical help we can give Kim, like dog walking, grass cutting, etc? I would do so myself but live in Essex so not that easy to get to Shoreham. I know she needs a new carpet in the bedroom laid, but obviously don't know if anyone on here could help with that. Please help me and Kim keep awareness of Sullys plight on the radar as everyone thanks to the Argus article thinks he's at home recovering, and happy to take PM's if anyone wants to assist/find out more.
