[Albion] He's one of our own x3 – Are Albion unusual?

[Gilliver's Travels]

Yes we know about locally-born players in other PL teams: Kane, Alexander-Arnold, Burn, etc.

But we've got THREE Sussex lads as first-team regulars: Dunk (Brighton), March (Eastbourne) and Webster (Chichester).
Is this yet another Premier League record?

 

[Simster]

Are we really counting Webster as local though?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Are we really counting Webster as local though?

You're right, Webster is West Sussex

 

[The Optimist]

Manchester United have / had a few come through their youth system. Rashford, Greenwood, McTominay and Brandon Williams. Not sure where they were all born.

 

[Simster]

You're right, Webster is West Sussex

Extreme West Sussex, in fact. You might even say "#Twats territory".

 

[portlock seagull]

Are we now saying Chicester, capital of West is best and diocese for the county, is NOT true Sussex? Hmmm, not sure I concur. Unlike Crawley, which everyone knows is Surrey really

 

[Bold Seagull]

James Ward-Prowse, Alex McCarthy and Danny Ings all Hampshire born when playing together at Southampton.

There were loads of local players in their treble winning team.

Don’t think we’re breaking any records with our three sadly

I'll see you Outside after a comment like that...

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Are we really counting Webster as local though?

Yes, as we all know West is as important, if not more important, than the East of the County

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Eastbourne is pushing it really, not Brighton is it, it can take nearly as long sometimes to get there as it takes to get to Croydon.

 

[Gazwag]

Yes it is a record as I'm not sure any other PL team has ever had three Sussex born players in the same team

 

[Icy Gull]

Given the traffic to and from the Amex on a match day I reckon most of our support comes from WEST Sussex

In fact I think it’s worth a poll!

 

[schmunk]

It's all piddle if it's not in the middle...

Alex McCarthy the goalkeeper born in Guildford, Surrey?

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Yes, as we all know West is as important, if not more important, than the East of the County

In your dreams, sunshine.

I actually have no dog in this fight, as I have a foot in West and East Sussex camps having grown up in mid Sussex on either side of the county border. However, Chichester always was a Portsmouth area. The cut off seemed to be LA: Albion, Bognor: Pompey.

I'd gladly assume we are making great strides to take that bit of Sussex back of course, as we are brilliant and Portsmouth are division 3 shite. Forever.

That would be wrong.

The whole of West Sussex isn't true Sussex.

Yeah but most of the people down there support #twats
