Gary Paul Stephen Chivers
Defender (1987-1988)
Somewhat surprisingly sold only six months after being signed, he had begun to look an accomplished right-back in a relegation-doomed Watford side after first being used in midfield. Gary Chivers was already an experienced player, having started with a good career at Chelsea, and after leaving Vicarage Road clocked up over two hundred Football League appearances for Brighton & Hove Albion, one of which he started in goal as a result of a pre-match injury to Perry Digweed, keeping a clean sheet for eight minutes until replaced by a substitute goalkeeper. He was Mark Falco’s successor as manager of Worthing.
