Danny Bloor

[GUNTER]

He was in Ladbrokes at Patcham on Monday and had £3,000 on a horse to win...not sure if it did but was quite surprised the manager of Worthing, a renowned punter, bets in such large sums.

Thought Alan Pook was manager at Worthing and Bloor just a coach or summink?

 

[GUNTER]

Whatever, Bloor is a well known figure in Sussex sport (I think he used to play for the Albion years ago). He is a big, big punter. I remember a few years ago, him walking into Ladbrokes at Fiveways with a winning slip demanding they pay him six grand there and then. When they told him he'd have to come back, he went ballistic!

Probably got a tip of Ashley Carr who plays for B Hill.
And is a bookie of considerable wealth.

Where is Bloor now?

He was treated like shit at BH.

 

[Marshy]

Dont know which County League side he went to.

He was treated poorly, but didnt like him much anyway.
One of Pooks buddys i think.

Danny Bloor is working with Alan Pook at Worthing this season, following Gary Croydons decision to re-instate himself as the Burgess Hill boss in the Summer. All this despite Danny romping away with the County League and getting them promoted. A tad harsh.

Can't say I've got much time for any of them, despite their collective success at County/Isthmian League standard. Not an overly popular bunch outside of their surroundings, and not always well thought of on the inside either....

 

[Marshy]

I could have guided B Hill to the title last year lets be honest.
They were that far ahead of the other County League sides.

 

[Cairnsinho]

..... massively so Marshy. Not really sure if thats an inditement on the poor state of the County League at the moment, personally I think that the Littlehampton/Wick/Peacehaven (the latter ironically under Mr Pook before Pete Edwards took over) teams of the early-mid 90's were far stronger. The Littlehampton team that made the first round proper of the F.A. Cup and F.A. Vase semi-final was something else, but still played in a very competitive league.

Still, despite not being a big fan of the bloke, I thought Danny Bloor at least deserved a chance this season. Just appears that Gary had spent a little too long out of the 'limelight' and missed reading about himself in the Sports Argus every Saturday.

 

[Marshy]

Agreed, although Bloor hadnt brought any players of any note in.
I watched B Hill quite a few times last year, living there and its about time they got out of that division.
Think they will be a top 8 side this year also.

When Pook initially came in he brought half the peacehaven side with him anyway, destroyed the soul of my local side.

I think Adie Downey is the only local player left in the side.
Sad really, at least hes skipper.
