Add Joe Marler to Billy and Joe in the England rugby team comes from Eastbourne and completes a trio of Sussex player making up recent England teams.

Excuse me! Heathfield mate - def Heathfield! (We gotta be on the map for something!)

And possibly James Chisholm and Joe Marchant (played on loan for Worthing this season) in the future too.

Sorry thought he only went to college in Heathfield but born in Eastbourne.

Leon Best.

Many thanks. They wouldn't need to be born in Sussex necessarily. Someone who is a hero to Sussex sports fans (such as a top overseas footballer or cricketer with a Sussex team) is cool too. Cheers.

I'm sure he's been mentioned already but Calderon probably qualifies.

Ryan Moore and his brother Jamie.

Most people from the Heath were born in ebo. He def went to Heath School and lives here anyway. Think he played for Ebourne.
