Are people forgetting players still playing?

You have a whole squad pretty much playing at Bognor, Jake Robinson is still kicking around somewhere, Sham Fenelon is at Aldershot

He is the best home grown goalkeeper that we had. so

Powney
El Abd..... Elphick......Cook....Mayo
Towner.....Templeman,,,,,JFC.....Neate
Robinson Gatting....​

Bit pushed for left wing and main striker so went for Derek Neate and Joe Gatting

4 of those arent playing, JFC isnt even from Sussex, but other than that nailed it! if you were to pick the best team of players actually from Brighton you could pick a much better team than that!

Sam Rents still playing at Worthing also. Always quite rated him, and remember being surprised when he was released.

Trevor Wood was a scholar at Brighton in the mid-80s. He didn't make a league appearance for Albion but went on to have a league career with Port Vale, Walsall and Hereford. He earned a Northern Ireland cap (he was actually from Jersey) and played in the Champions League (albeit in the preliminary round, for St Patrick's Athletic against Celtic).

And he was ALMOST the goalkeeper that stood between Albion and oblivion on May 3 1997 - he had been signed by Hereford manager Graham Turner from Walsall and played in 19 successive matches, but Turner sprang a surprise and named Andy Debont as 'keeper for the big game - Hereford United 1 ~ Brighton 1: Saturday, May 3, 1997 ~ League Division Three

Didn't he play for Worthing as well? (sorry, can't be asked to google it)

Will Hendon at Eastbourne borough would get in ahead of him

Played against him in the Sussex Senior Cup a few years ago when he was still at Worthing and he scored an audacious chip and was very impressed by him generally, so I'd agree with you there. Was he in the Albion youth setup prior to that? Must say I wasn't aware of that
