I thought Worthing were The Rebels but, reading a report on the club site, I now see them referred-to as 'The Mackerels'. What's going on? It all seems a bit fishy to me.
btw...they won 6-2 in the FA cup replay at Carshalton.
The club's intriguing nickname of "The Rebels" dates from when it resigned from the West Sussex League over a rule change, prior to becoming a founder member of the Sussex County League in 1920. Previously Worthing had been known as "The Mackerel Men": a reference to the fish on the club crest.
Just looked at wiki and lists ex players who played in the FL but omits Allan Arnell and Fred Perry who they signed from Chichester in the late 50s and both went to Liverpool I am sure they both made a few appearances for Liverpool
Perry only made 1 appearance for Liverpool but Arnell scored 33 league goals in 69 appearances (albeit over about 8 seasons).
In thought that was so especially about Perry but didnt think Arnell played so many and was there so long.

I always thought Shoreham were known as the mackerels? And yes they did!, after being 2-0 down at one stage
