Playing at Withdean in memory of Mark Turner (Bernie)

Pictures of the match I played in to help raise funds for the Martlets Hospice who looked after Bernie so well. Thanks to all those that put so much work into arranging this day.

It was an incredible experiance, using the proper dressing rooms, wearing the kit, running (well jogging!) out to Sussex by the sea, playing on the Withdean pitch. We won 2-1, but that was a side issue to a wunderful day and a lot of money was raise.

It just shows that Bernie will never be forgotten.

H v Stockport County 2.5.2009

WE ARE STAYING UP! Last day of the season decides it again. We win 1-0, Carlisle beat Millwall 2-0 and that means relegation for Crewe and Northampton!

Spain v England, Seville

Once again this was a very brief trip due to saving holiday for the 2 away qualifiers coming up this year (and the friendly in Holland). I opted for the Thomson Sport day trip from Gatwick. I went back to a mates house after seeing Brighton lose 4-2 at home to Peterbrough, the less said about that the better!

We left Collington at 3am and picked up another mate in Eastbourne on the way to Gatwick. We arrived just after 4.30 am and had soon booked in. We took off about 6.30am and landed about 9.30am (1 hour time difference). We were soon on coaches into the centre and by 10.30am settled in a bar so we could plan our day.



We strolled towards the cathederal and main square.

We stop at the Irish pub for a swift one,
