I seem to recall he went to Southwick, Steyning no doubt a few others and was probably always in some conflict with the FA, he rocked up to Worthing perhaps 91/92'sh got Butch Reeves and Eric Whittington as managers and got a few names players in but was gone before the end of the season ..........

A good friend of mine played for him whilst he was at Worthing, a nice fella by all accounts but one of those that is never likely to last. My mate got paid good money back in the late 80's very early 90's yet still he was allowed to go along to his butchers shop and was given a weekly free...

I have this discussion alot regarding the level, why do you think that the level should be worse than previously. There are as many young kids playing, more qualified local coaches than before with many being sucked into the Academy systems at different levels and for different time periods...

Thats quite a harsh assessment of the level of play that the County League (or whatever it is called nowadays) has to offer. I have watched a few local games and the level is probably similar to when perhaps we were involved playing, I actually saw a very young and good Peacehaven side this...
