[Albion] Which Albion players have you seen out doing their shopping and what was in their basket?
- Thread starter marlowe
- Start date
Players often pop into the Nandos at the Marina and I've seen Muzza at the Five Guys there.
I could hazard a guess
Oh - I did also meet Lord Tony Bloom, in the old Queens Road club shop, BUYING a load of Albion Christmas tat for the kids in his extended family.
I sat next to TB for about 2 hrs at the Aussie Open in 2006. Met him again about 4 years ago at NWSS meeting and reminded him. Guess what?

I was behind Malcolm Poskett and his Mrs in a fish and chip shop in Shoreham. He bought an extra bag of chips !!

Mark McGee browsing the Lego aisle in Toys'r'Us in Hove...best I've got in terms of active purchase session, other than Casper Ankergren frequently in a local cafe in this area, and he used to buy all his tabs from the newsagent just along from there. Sometimes had Sexy Pete with him, and others. Not a big cafe so normally they were sat outside using the tables on the pavement.
Saw Biss turning onto North Street a few weeks ago in his Mercedes Wagon, don't know if he'd done his shopping errands though at that point. Too busy being surprised at his hoody covered head being a foot away from mine, as I had started crossing the road at that point. Happy to give way to him though.
Also saw Bong in London Victoria station a while back, heading in the direction of Smiths. Again no idea of eventual purchase.

In the Withdean days on separate occasions Adam Virgo and Colin Kazim-Richards buying milk in the Tesco garage on Dyke Road. In more recent times Dale Stephens, Lewis Dunk and one other who I couldn't make out having coffee in a Garden Centre restaurant in Hassocks. Bruno having his beard trimmed in a barbers in Western Road, Hove. Knockaert coming out of another barbers in Church Road, Hove the day before the Bournemouth match. I've also seen Glenn Murray in Waitrose, Hove.

You met an Albion manager ON THE HALLOWED TURF?!
Glenn Murray would walk past the menswear department of Debenhams as he used the car park which went straight into it. One time he had a box of under armour trainers.
My colleague also saw Kayal hanging around waiting for his wife to buy some make up at the YSL counter.
Also saw Ryan walking down western road on a Friday after work. Initially was judging him for his formal black shoe, blue jean combo. Then I noticed it was Ryan and all was forgiven.

Think you are probably talking about the Windmill Cafe in Westdene. Was in there a few weeks ago with wife having a coffee and Glenn Murray and his daughter came in. They sat at table next to us and were playing Pairs. Really nice to see. Casper A. also goes in there frequently.

You were going through her purse? What had you done to her?
In any Pointless football round, always go for the keeper (the reserve keeper if possible). Banker.
Any Albion one would be pretty NICHE (they did have an Albion managers one - everyone was pointless bar Gus, Chris, mullery and Melia I think).
Player round would depend on the exact wording. I've two BELTERS up my sleeve, but they might not be valid...
All that money and they go to Nando's and Five Guys
Sadly Brighton seems to be lacking in Michelin starred eateries for them to waste money in.
I saw and spoke with Andrea Orlandi in Hove Waitrose a few times Had a lovely chat with Calde in George Street just as he came out of Bert’s homewares store Saw Chris O’Grady in M&S Holmbush and many years ago I served a pint to Mark Ormerod in the Hove Park Tavern!

Glenn Murray, in ASDA, he had a box of muesli in his basket.
On Sunday myself, Mrs DFP and DFP Jr were in Tesco and Jr dropped something he’d swiped from the trolley, a strapping young chap came over and picked up the fallen item. It was Robert Sanchez.

There's plenty of decent places in Brighton. To be fair I think a number of players go to The Salt Room a fair bit - more cultured players perhaps, such as King Kayal.

The only player I ever saw was Alan Navarro in the marina Mcdonalds with his Wife/Girlfriend buying themselves some grub.

I'm guessing these are players who never made a single appearance? You can have Simon Wormull for free.
