Anyone Bumped into any footballers in any pubs in Brighton/Hove (in the old days)

[Cappers]

I'll start it off - Kenny Dalglish in the Cricketers in Hove after a Brighton v Liverpool pre-season friendly (and I got seved before him)

Joe Corrigan and Hans Kraay in Parkes (Hove Park Tavern), what an experience that was.

Used to drink most Sunday nights with Gordon Smith in the White Horse Rottingdean, Joe Corrigan was often in the Plough as well.

Mick Ferguson and Danny Wilson in said same Cricketers circa 1985/6

Mentioned before but had a piss next to Jimmy Case in Shades. It was the day he scored the winner against Norwich in the cup QF

Many a night I'd have a spritzer with Justin Fashanu in the Bulldog or the Spotted Dog

Not quite a pub of course, but when I was a kid my Dad took me on the pier and I saw Stefan Iovan on the fruit machines.

I told my Dad who he was and he approached him but the guy did not speak a word of english.

Teddy Maybank at Corals squash club.

Never saw him on any courts, but, always at the bar.

Steve Foster was a regular too, a few years later...( come to think of it I never saw Fozzie play either) Although at least would stand at the bar in his squash gear with raquet.

I shared a round with Stefan in Topolinos Church Rd ( when it was where the blind busker is now ) circa 1991 i think. Great bloke

The Hollingbury was and is fairly regular with some of the squad for some some reason.

Doug Rougvie once asked me if I had any change for the ciggie machine in the Cricketers in Hove once (I had to ask him to repert himself a couple of times)
