When I lived on Bavant Road for a year c2011 Glenn Murray knocked on my front door and asked who owned the car park at the back of the house. Details are hazy bc I was so shocked, particular bc he had just signed for Palace.

Peter Ward accidentally (I hope) trod on my toe as I edged past him in a crowded Amsterdam pub bar in Shoreham (I believe it was his local).

Tony Nicholas used to live at the end of my road, and when I saw him setting off in his white Ford Anglia (sloping rear window model) with a blue 'go-faster' stripe, I knew it was time for me to set off for the Goldstone to watch the match.

After our cup final appearance I was in the club shop at the Goldstone purchasing a commemorative grey sweatshirt (which I still have), and Jimmy Case was standing next to me buying an identical article.

Edit - I didn't read the first post! Best I can is that I once played 5 aside in Burgess Hill the 90/00s with someone who I think was on Brighton's books as a youngster or something and then was coachin. Matt something or other.
