Did Jimmy Tarbuck play for Brighton ?

[half time scores]

Sorry if this has already been covered on here before.

My brother has told me that Jimmy Tarbuck was once on our books in the fifties.

Is this true and did he ever play in the first team?

I think he had a trial, but I 'm not sure if he was ever a registered player.

He was probably nipped in to do great & good for the poor local "crippled kids" whilst on his way back to his castle.

Tarby had a trial for Albion as a teenager. He was a redcoat at Butlins/Pontins or whatever in Bognor/Littlehampton at the time. Don't know any more than that. God bless useless pub trivia.
