Nigel Erskine is back....

[matt]

Make sure he keeps his shorts on.

 

[Yoda]

Known little Nige for about 10-15 years now and ended up moving in around the corner from him 3 1/2 years ago.

Didn't even know he'd had a stroke, but was wondering what had happened to him. Good to know he's on the mend, just a shame I can't make Saturday's game.

Great news!

I am sure Paul S will get something over the tannoy, or what about a picture on the screen?

Probably a silly question given the circumstances, but will you guys be going to the Star on the way, or will I have to wait until after the game to buy the little sod a beer?

Just to be on the safe side get a written request into the club offices by tomorrow.

Fantastic. Never met him but everyone knows him! Hope he has a fantastic day Saturday - would be good if the club could do something special for him at some point.

Someone MUST have some footage of the legendary swallow dive in front of the North Stand , and his resulting jog to pull his shorts back up.

send it to the club to be palyed on the big screens!

Seriously tho fantastic news - top bloke


Nige - just enjoy the experience - the Amex is all we fought for and more

 

[joker]

I will never forget his dive bummer, sorry bomber, a real funny Goldstone memory, good to see you back mate

 

[cyanide-sid]

Pity there isn't an Under 16 turnstile at the Amex so he could re-live his halcyon days of paying half price while in his early 20's

Funny thing was that about the same time his old man John used to get in the over 65s and he was only in his middle 50s.
Actually come to think of it Nige wasn`t a good fan at all................ he swindled the club out of a small fortune.

 

[Nottseagull]

Who is it and why should I care about him attending football?

It's Nigel Erskine.
Known to just about every Albion fan in Worthing as long ago as the 1970s and a regular on the Clifton-organized away coaches.
And nobody is expecting you to care.

 

[bobby smith]

Good 2 hear hes back, have known "erskine" 4 donkeys years, tell him that his mate the "councillor" will buy him and his mate Harty yet another pint

 

[Skinthead]

Great news!! was chatting and luaghing with Nigel about his Klinsman Dive in the Swan sometime ago!! what laugh he is!!

 

[rocker959]

Hi all, went to visit our dear friend and me old mate Nigel this afternoon in the Nursing Home where he is staying whilst he recovers from his stroke. I attach a pic I took of him preparing to listen to the Cardiff game on his radio next to the Stella's he insisted I go and get him. Bet he enjoyed his evenings entertainment from the valley's !! He is so excited about his trip to the Amex with our old mate Cyanide Sid on Saturday for Blackpool and looks forward to seeing many an old face as well as sampling the amazing atmosphere. He thanks you all for your good wishes. I guess the nurses know he's going not that he would give a toss !!

There are probably a thousand reasons, and you're obviously not one of them.

So quite simply, f*** off.

 

[Vicar!]

Probably a silly question given the circumstances, but will you guys be going to the Star on the way, or will I have to wait until after the game to buy the little sod a beer?

Note for reference the Star is currently closed due to refurbishment. (Landlord trashed the pub on Saturday after his team lost!!) May re open on Saturday evening awaiting update.

A chant of 'One Nigel Erskine' is compulsory surely. Will he be joining us on the concourses afterwards and if so which one.

Please send my regards

Vicar!

I know who he is from the picture now, not personally apart from a few words on occasion (and why would he want to know me etc yadayadayada)

I's funny to read how f***ing PRECIOUS some of you sausage-noshers are about it.
'ahh bless' is the correct response. Very touching.

You're a knob of the highest order

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone with four cans of Stella on a nursing home side table before Good to see Bushfire looking so happy although I really hope for Sid's sake that he had shorts on under that Brighton shirt

You are one of the lowest order.

Hijacking this thread?
Hmm - come on then dear hearts splutter out your embarrassing vitriol, it's looking easy.
