More recently I've been in Hove Tescos a THOUSAND times, in the hope of bumping into Calde. You get the impression on here that the chap basically LIVES in there, but NOTHING

I once saw FDM in Burgess Hill Tescos. That was about 15 years ago, but he might still be there?

Steve Gatting at Asda in Hollingbury too long ago to want to remember. Shopping with his missus, sporting a massive black eye (Gatt, not his missus).

Sammy Nelson at Corals squash club seven or eight years ago coming off court as I went on, looking as fit as a fiddle (Sammy, not me)

FDM (Michel Kuipers for the JCLs) in Pizza Express Haywards Heath
Glenn Murray - walking down Hatton Garden in London - must have been buying a ring for his missus.

Bumped into FDM in the bakery in Patcham village. He was laden down with more cakes than I could eat in a month.

Perhaps he'd just finished a stint as a chef

I was on the same Amex tour as Eric Gill but apart from him alas there are no other players I have encountered outside of football

I'd so go to Waitrose rather than Tesco if I earned that much.

I'd employ my own chef so l would never need to visit a supermarket if l earned that much.

Do things keep flying off the shelves in that place?

Sod that, I'd probably spend most of my time cooking.

Sat next to OGH at Brentford. Compared watches with virgs in the Hollingbury.

Is it that rare? I know it is now as it's impossible to combine the two sports, but in my watching lifetime alone I have seen four at least former Brighton players turn out for Sussex (Foreman, Suttle, Bates and Gatting) ... and there were certainly several more before I was born, notably Tommy Cook

That is rare.

Really? I don't know how many cricketers I've seen in the last 50 years but I doubt that it's more than 150 and four out of those have played for one football club. When you consider how few footballer-cricketers there are, that's really not that rare to me

4 or 5 players in the history probably over a 100 years is probably one every 20 years in Sussex. Probably about one in a half million people.

You didn't read what I wrote. I said that's four since I've been watching Sussex, not in Sussex's history - that's four in about 48 years. I reckon I've seen about 130 players at Sussex, so that's about 1 in 32 that has been a Brighton player. It's not common but really not that rare. Now, if we were stacking one-eyed players or prime minister's grandsons, that would be rare

Served Mike Small in what was Ritz video in station/boundary road. This must have been around 1990/91 when I worked there. I think it is a post office now.

I taught Adam El Abd to drive. (Long time ago now)

deletebeepbeepbeep · Sep 2, 2014

Dickenson, Cox and a couple of the other 'lads' in Digital toilets joking about whose the shittest Brighton player after our 4 2 loss to Stockport.

Had a chat with OGH in the Digital cigarette area the night before our freindly against Tottenham.

This just tells me that I and a number of our former players spent too much time in Digital.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
