Brighton Fan in September 11 attack is remembered

Last updated : 26 April 2005 By Bob Gear

The game, between supporters of BHAFC and CPFC, is played in the memory of Robert Eaton.

Robert was an avid Brighton & Hove Albion supporter who regularly posted on North Stand Chat under the name of 'Ricky Marlowe's hairpiece' until his life was tragically cut short by the terrorist attacks in New York on 11/9/2001.

The fund has provided 3 years of support to Los Peladitos in the Queens area of New York for disadvantaged children to play football in the memory of Robert.

In the last 18 months the fund has also helped local clubs, Fishersgate, King George United and Portslade Athletic.

We are looking to offer grants for the season 2005/2006 for clubs in the Sussex and Croydon area for children aged 5-16 and to continue to help our friends in New York.

Entrance to the game is £3 on the night and there is a raffle and refreshments, with a presentation of the trophy after the game with Paul Samrah acting as pa.

Ricky Marlowe, ex Albion player from the 1970's is travelling down from Edinburgh for the 4th time to play in Roberts memory and will don his boots at the age of 55.

Please come along and support the players as it will be a fun night with Palace desperate to win the trophy back.
