It says a lot about his personality and character that so many people knew 'of him' even if they did not know him personally. I hope his friends and family can take some comfort from the fact he touched so many people.

Yes, it was one of the Worthing crew who first told me about it all. The East Sussex Gazette and Sport would never have got off the imaginary press had it not been for Nigel's gang

So sorry for your loss. I’m somewhere in the background in the north and remember that game but not who we played. Any idea which game it was?Here is Nige and Fozzie………mascot day

I read of this tragic and sad news yesterday. Always a regular 'face' from the old days at the Goldstone. I'd often see him when I lived in the Worthing area years back and chat over all things Albion. Always cheerful and happy. The little man with a big heart. R.I.P. Nige.

I’ve a feeling we lost 0-1 to Crewe.

I told Kilo, his former lodger, this morning that I’m toying with the idea of strippers at his wake, because that’s what he would have wanted

It was Crewe, he was originally going to be mascot against Cardiff but that got postponed at 1.45pm, as you did back then, we just stayed in sponsors lounge, got pissed and Goosey smoked a ‘herbal’ cigarette with Mrs Bellotti up in the West Stand.
So we did the Crewe game three weeks later

Never knew the fella - my fault I'm sure - but what's the 'Bushfire' thing all about? RIP, obviously

Small in stature he may have been, but in terms of character and personality he stood head and shoulders taller than many.
RIP Nigel

I think it was Shrewsbury away of maybe on a Worthing coach when Nige was starkers and we turned the flames
up on our lighters and set fire to his genitalia, He spend the whole game watching the match wearing only a surgical mask around that area nursing burnt testicles.His underpants got thrown out the skylight of the coach and landed on the windscreen of our police escort. They turned them on to get rid but they got caught and wouldn’t come off. I’m crying and laughing at the same time.You cant forget that
but why would you ever want to
