The Benchwarmer Report
Old Brighton FC
Since 1989, 'The Benchwarmer' has been causing a stir with his weekly Old Brighton match reports. Whilst one of our most ardent supporters, he is also more than capable of being brutally honest and dishing out criticism to whomever he sees fit. In fact, previous requests to tone down his honesty have proven futile. Comical, scathing, theatrical and unique, he invokes the old Jack Dyer phrase "for them" at the end of virtually every sentence.
In his own words... "The Benchwarmer was only ever meant to be fun. In the early days, when about three people listened, I used to amuse myself berating the umpires, the opposition, the crowd, the facilities, creating the archetypal one-eyed Tonner supporter. Everything was fair game. You could do that before we took life so seriously."
He claims since to have "lost his edge", but we don't think much has changed. Listen at your own risk!
