On the day of the closure of the Goldstone Ground, a young boy aged about 12 years old passed me in George Street, Hove, carrying a piece of turf about ten in square very carefully, so as not to drop it.
He was looking at it with pride.
I have often wondered what happened to this boy and his piece of turf, and whether he still has it planted somewhere.
The closure of the Goldstone Ground was a very sad time for all the fans.
