Tommy Fraser on Twitter says...

[butchy]

I would seriously be very careful what you post about him, ask around and a few other of the NSC community may help you.

Mad Frank is 89 now. His days of nailing people to the floor are over.

Fecking hell, threads like this one certainly bring out the anti-club clan don't they?

Tommy Fraser, whilst making the most of his limited talents and earning a living in Australia playing football is such a bitter little twerp because he wasn't good enough for The Albion and got shipped out to Port Vale. Yes, I'd have loved to have played at that level but I never kidded myself that I was a professional fotballer in the way that Fraser seems to have done.

He's another one from our recent past who can feck off.

He was released but told if we didn't get another midfielder by August he could come back. Micky then asked him to join Port Vale when he got the job there.
He didn't kid himself that he was a professional footballer. He was. He left Barnet because he'd had enough of the professional life and wanted to play part time. So many opinions and yet, I doubt many of you have ever spoken to him.

He's right.

Which part is right? The part where he says this 'sums Brighton up to a tee'? Do you really think this episode sums us up as club? Or maybe the part where he says 'still the same old shambles', implying that we've always been a shambles? Do you think that's true? Granted, it is embarrassing at this moment in time but hardly a reflection of all the amazing stuff to have happened at the club in the last 3 years. I hope you can see and understand that actually Fraser was upset with Knight when he left, prompting years of bitterness on his part. Since then, his career has fallen apart drastically and he is using this to have a dig. As has been pointed out to him, we will be okay long term, but his footballing career (if you can call it that) is over. Poor Tommy is just having a hard time getting to grips with that.

back to sunny Whitehawk next season

He skippered Whitehawk at the Amex when they won the Sussex Senior cup last year, having beaten our development squad in the semi final.

really puts letting glenn murray leave into perspective doesn't it

As above, he chose to give up full time professional football.

He is still very well connected

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Even by your standards, that is pathetic.

Pop down The Albion pub any lunchtime and tell the locals what you think of Tommy - we'll send the grapes to the Royal Sussex

Why bloody tell him, he is digging a massive hole at present

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i have very little opinion of him either as a person or a footballer.....no more or less than any ex player

HOWEVER, if you're going to slag off your former employers when your own career has gone downhill since leaving, you're going to look like a dick.

it's what is known as 'leon knight syndrome'

The way he was strutting around at that Dagenham away game a couple of years back, giving it the big one, I don't need to have spoken to him to realise he is a knob. I also don't need to have spoken to him to know he is a very sub- standard footballer. Your idea that he quit the pro life for the happiness of part-time is simply laughable.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

and if you're going around shooting your mouth off, then can't handle the criticism so go running to your 'connected' family members, I have absolutely no time for you.

take your criticism like a man

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

And if was still in professional football, at what level do you think he'd be playing at? He was bitter about the way he left Brighton, which is reflected by his tweet, regardless of the life style he 'chose'. My point still remains that saying we are the 'same old shambles' and this 'sums us up to a tee' is ridiculous given how far we have come as a club in the last few years. Regardless of how well you know the ins and outs of Tommy's very short stint as a pro footballer, this is quite simply a bitter outburst.

My only issue with this post is I'd say cock, not LKS.

I was at that Dagenham game. He came to watch us playing, walked along the front to his seat, not giving it the big one as you have posted. Fans started singing 'there's only one Tommy Fraser' so he grinned and waved.
I think your opinion is very harsh and untruthful.

I hardly see how, it's a well known fact that Tommy Fraser is both a and a shite footballer.

What hole is that then Mr Hut?

No, he isn't, he's a top bloke and I've known him since he was eight years old. And yes he DID quit full-time football because he was fed up with the itinerant lifestyle and wanted to be in Brighton with his friends and family for a bit.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I met Tommy a few times and he seemed a decent bloke. Don't let this stop the character assassination of him though.
