*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Albert Edward Mundy (12 May 1926 – 2002) was a professional footballer who scored 111 goals from 346 appearances in the Football League playing for Portsmouth, Brighton & Hove Albion and Aldershot.[2]
Life and career
Mundy was born in Gosport, Hampshire, in 1926, and played for hometown club Gosport Borough before moving into the Football League with Portsmouth.[2] He made his debut in March 1951, in a goalless draw at home to Manchester United in the First Division,[3] but failed to establish himself as a first-team regular, and joined Brighton & Hove Albion in 1953.[1] Playing at inside or centre forward, he was Brighton's top scorer for three consecutive seasons, from 1954–55 to 1956–57.[4] Playing for Aldershot against Hartlepools United in 1958, Mundy scored a goal after only six seconds, which was at the time the fastest goal ever recorded.[5] After finishing his Football League career, Mundy played in the Southern League for Guildford City before returning to Gosport Borough. He died in 2002.[2]
