Professional footballers from Sussex that never played for the Albion.

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.

That means I am correct,as always.

Paul Weller who played for Burnley was born in Brighton

I think he's the one Paolo Hewitt mentions in one of his books. He wrote of a footballer that frequently got asked for a rendition of 'Going Underground' whenever he took the field. Apparently, the more famous Paul Weller was highly amused by this.
