He appears to have been scouting for a long time, but yes, it does seem a bit of a step up, and at 61, quite a late one too. Oh well, good luck to him.

Weird, I replied to a tweet "name a random player from the past" or something like that, and his name popped into my head and I posted, this was a week or so ago

Vaguely remember him lumbering around the midfield for us in the late 80’s/early 90’s

Your memory serves you well, with emphasis on 'lumbering'.

Yes, he used to run football schools in the holidays to supplement his wages. I remember the likes of Gerry Armstrong and Geoff Cooper helping him out.
What do you expect, with a truss on?

Yes, my eldest attended one out Durrington somewhere. I got roped in for the dads v coaches game and nearly had my hand taken off by a shot from Cooper.

Very much remember him missing a header against Arsenal in the cup
5 yards out,goal at his mercy and headers it straight into the arms of Lukic
Nah! I'm not bitter
Good luck Mr Trusson

Got sent off against Palace in the game where they had 5 penalties. He knew the importance of the derby !!

A random name from the past I'd totally forgotten about. Last I heard of him (years ago) he was working as an estate agent in Worthing.

Quite ironic, the first real ‘target’ of Gulls Eye, when I actually got to know him long after his Albion career had finished I discovered what a top bloke he was, he was originally part of Tony Pulis’s backroom staff and followed him to a couple of clubs, for whatever reason he never went to Stoke but then took on scouting duties.
I really do wish him well.

When I did my Level 1 coaching certificate, they had just made some changes and he was there making sure those running the course were implementing the changes. He was an excellent tutor.
Up until a few years ago, he was still living in the Angmering home he bought when he was an Albion player - not sure if he is still there.

I think some of the comments on this thread are a little unfair. I remember him as a decent player.
Somewhere in the middle, for me. He wasn't absolutely shit, I agree.
