[Albion] Where is your favorite now? The ULTIMATE list of active Albion ex-players

This list should be pretty complete, but I've randomly ignored a few ones in the English amateur divisions (including all Burgess Hill players because I decided to have something against them). Probably missed out on a few others as well but not too many, I think. The list is perhaps a little bit poorly sorted with the countries and players coming in a random order but thats life, it is what it is and we take the positives and move on and your mum.

Try it.

Always cracks me up that the Greyhound plays for a racing club.

Well I enjoyed the catch-up, trying to picture all of those players. A few seem to have passed me by.

You've got Will Collar twice.

It's really annoying when you spend a lot of time on something like that and someone immediately points out the typo.

That is both impressive work and worryingly obsessive. Still it's much better than 20 years ago virtually all our ex players disappeared into non league soon after leaving us

No its just good since it would have annoyed me if I discovered it later.

Interesting read, so cheers. I still think you need t get out more though!

What about ex-players now managing? - I discovered yesterday that our young GK on loan at Walsall was up against Stevenage, managed by ex-Albion stalwart Alex Revell.

Some of them were so deeply crap that they left us and actually changed PROFESSION straight after

That is some crazy arsed research, well done! There are a lot of names I'm pretty sure I'm seeing for the first time.

Quite interesting seeing who is still playing and where.

Did you read every last word of that list ?
No I don't miss BG as my old dad died around the same time.

To be fair Swanny, when I saw the thread title “The ultimate list of active ex Albion players “ I didn’t know it was going to be anywhere near as long.
He probably opened it because it’s an Albion thread.

I remember thinking Mustapha Carayol was an impossibly exotic flair signing.

Fantastic work Swamy. I enjoyed scrolling through your list

One extra player to add - Elvis Manu who is currently starring for Ludogorets of Bulgaria
