Two of my contemporaries, Tennis Umpire Gerry Armstrong was on the books at Fulham as a goalkeeper. Graham Thomas one of the fastest wingers I ever played against for the school sadly went one to sign for...................... Crystal Palace.

Fixed your post.

Andy Frampton was born in Wimbledon, but schooled in Sussex (Lancing College). Signed for Palace and has buzzed about the southern teams ever since.

The thread said NEVER played for Brighton & Hove Albion so that excludes Simon Wormull, I think as I am sure I have seen him play for us but then again I may be wrong.

Not well enough old boy it was 2009.

 

[Potters mate]

He was Lewes born, but he wouldn't fit in the criterion of this thread seeing as he played for Brighton:

Sounds like a lovely chap, judging from what he said about following the fortunes of Brighton even before he played for them!

HA! I totally forgot about that rather important bit of criteria, doing nothing but eating and drinking for 2 days has clearly fried my brain!

 

[Blackadder]

For quite a large county........ Not a lot then!

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

Peter Allen- Hove Grammar and record number of appearances for Leyton Orient.

Ok then,will stick with Thompson and Mean.
At least I added something to the thread.
I thought Wormull may have appeared in a friendly or two but,as above poster suggests,could well be wrong!!One for the historians.

 

[perseus]

We had two goalkeepers at Boundstone that played professionally, one a regular for Rotherham and another one played a few games for Aldershot. I can't remember their names off hand. Maybe, somebody else can?

 

[BensGrandad]

Wasnt the goalkeeper at Rotherhams name Wood possibly Rod

 

[mel blyth]

Simon Rodger Palace Im sure he was From Shoreham thats sort of Brighton!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He was, but doesn't fit the criteria if this thread as he played for Brighton.

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Technically, Jack Dineen!

Si never actually played for us, he was injured during his months contract that Horton gave him.
I vaguely remember him playing at schoolboy level before joining Tottenham.
I think he only made a handful of appearances in the league, the vast majority of his career was non league.

Saw him 2 weeks ago in Wellington airport. Pretty sure he signed straight for the NZ club and by-passed OZ. He has just ruptured his Achilles tendon.

Paul Weller who played for Burnley was born in Brighton
