I'm sure this will only be of interest to the geeks and aesthetes among us (if there are any), but I've never seen 'Larry's' name listed when it comes to celebrity Albion fans so thought is was worth a mention. I've just been reading the biography of Kenneth Tynan and there's a bit where it mentions how he and his wife used to visit Olivier for weekends at his Brighton home in about 1967, and they would go to the football on a Saturday afternoon. It's difficult to imagine the double Oscar winner, and arguably the greatest ever English-speaking actor, slumming it on the East Terrace in a lounge suit and cravat, or po-going with the oiks in the North, so I can only think he must have sat with the cigar-smoking, hip-flask brigade in the West Stand. Probably next to Norman Wisdom.
