No I didn’t go to the final, I was allowed to go and watch cricket at Hove but I think Lords was a bit far for someone of my age back then.
We did go to Horsham once to see Sussex play, think it was pot luck that two 12 year olds got from Brighton to Horsham and back on public transport.
That’s...
I had a membership at Sussex at a young age, myself and some friends went along to as many games as we could during the summer holidays.
Maybe it was this Sunday match as Somerset lost.

I met him when he played for Somerset against Sussex in Hove, I was only about 12 and he told me and some other kids to F off in the car park after the match…..we only asked him for an autograph.
Complete arse that day.
