Darren joined BHAFC when the club founded Burgess Hill Albion Reserves. He played more than 157 games for all teams but mostly in the reserves skippering the side in his later years. Darren was a big part of the club and played a big part in the Reserves when they got promoted 5 successive times, one of his main achievements. Darren's  other achievement was being promoted with the first team into Division 2 the clubs highest ever place. Darren said he owes his success to the fact "Without good team mates and good organisation you win nothing"
Darren contributed to Albion's every success and is some thing  to do to  with  where they are now and probably goes down as one of Albion's unsung heroes.

 

Andrew Billinghay

Andrew "Billy" Billinghay joined the club when it was founded back in 1996, being one of the clubs very first signings. He contributed his skills to most positions on pitch, but mostly in midfield, his terrier like play was deadly against all opposition, upsetting them and breaking up the play. Andrew always gave 120% and skippered the First Team for many of his 11 seasons with the club, in 2006/07 season Andrew was awarded Reserve Team Players Player something that is very special to him. He really should have been awarded more for what he gave to the Albion in all the seasons he played but this hasn't gone overlooked and why Andrew has been named as a great midfielder.

 

Paul Evans

Paul was one of the founding members of the club. Between 1996 and 2003 he played exactly 200 games for the Albion , generally playing as a sweeper or in central midfield and scoring 35 goals in the process. Paul was immense and got the nickname “Chopper” as he played like a demon, upsetting the opposition and helping the team to many victories. He achieved the first player’s player award in 1996/97 season. Paul also player-managed Burgess Hill Albion Sunday Team for two seasons during which time he had some of his most memorable games, his favourite being at SB Sports when he scored two goals, one a screamer from 35 yards and the second a “bullet” header. Paul was always fully committed to every game he played in and this is why he has been named a Great Midfielder
