[Albion] Which Albion players have you seen out doing their shopping and what was in their basket?

[bhafc99]

In 1988 I served Neil Smillie in the Asda in Lower Earley, Reading. We had a good chat about his time at the Albion; he had very fond memories.

A few months later, I also served his missus - I knew it was her because the surnames matched, and then I saw she had his photo in her purse.

Ian Chapman, Sainsburys, Lewes Road, Brighton, sometime in the 90s.

He was buying the cheesy snack things they have in America and a LOT of dog food.

Was working Security in Virgin in 1999 when the whole team came in. They bought a lot of C.D's.


Edit : must have been 2000 as Zamora was with them and I believe he was on a three month loan to us at the time.

Everybody sees EXCITING players out shopping. I've only ever seen AARON bloody HUGHES (in Waitrose, Hove). Need to UP my game.

I can roughly match that;

Gary Dicker - Brighton Marina ASDA. He looked genuinely confused at being recognised.

No, you win by miles. I LOVE Gary Dicker, and would have been delighted to meet him. In a Pointless final round, asking about former Brighton players, Hughes would be a pointless answer, for sure.

.....I've also seen Glenn Murray in there, but I wasn't nosy enough to peer into his shopping.

But nosy enough to come onto this thread to reap the benefits of other people's nosiness.

The Marina was a very good place for spotting Albion players a few years ago.

Calde would bring any new foreign lads (Brezovan, Battipiedi, Baz, Sandaza) there for a meal quite often.

Saw Kuszczak outside Costa, Western Road in Hove. Could tell it was him from behind due to him being massive, and the really wide face.

Also Kaz out in his big white Audi a few times. Slowing right down, then suddenly going really fast.

Maty Ryan in Churchill Square doing the Christmas shopping.

Think that's all of mine. Oh, and Glenn Murray, who lives next door to some friends of mine - has come over for dinner a few times apparently, as has Bruno. Never been there for that though, would be pretty incredible to just chill with Bruno and some tapas.

Just checked their website and they don't show products. But next time I'm in (and I'm in there ALL THE TIME) I'll take a photo for you.

That’s very kind, thanks. But, err, wouldn’t it be easier to just take a look at the one in your back garden?

Head like a MICROWAVE. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Lewis Dunk buying nappies in Asda Hollingbury.

Glenn Murray in Sainsbury's New England Street just after he signed for Palarce. Gave him a stare as to him being a prick but we eventually found out it was Gus who was being the prick.

You think they're all telling the truth?

You got me.

It wasn't Aaron Hughes at all. It was George Santos

Was that just before the Cardiff match?

 

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

I once served Nicky Rust at the Newmarket service station. He was buying petrol. I think this trumps all previous posts, frankly.

Dream question if I was ever on Pointless. Thousands of names to pick from - maybe an embarrassment of riches would be my undoing.

Dean White going into a fruit & veg shop is the best I can achieve. I have failed.
