Nicholas Charles Irwin Rust (born 25 September 1974) is an English former professional footballer who made 179 Football League appearances playing as a goalkeeper for Brighton & Hove Albion and Barnet.[1]

Life and career

Rust was born in Ely, Cambridgeshire.[1] He came through the Arsenal youth system, and represented England at schoolboy and youth levels. He then joined Brighton & Hove Albion as an 18-year-old,[2] and went on to make 177 Football League appearances.[1] He lost his place to Mark Ormerod during the 1996–97 season, when Brighton came close to losing their Football League status,[2] and was one of nine players released at the end of the following campaign.[3] He moved on to Barnet, conceded nine goals on debut, and appeared once more before giving up full-time football in favour of starting a building company, which he felt would provide more stability for his family.[4][5] He continued to play non-league football, with a succession of more or less short-term deals at clubs including Hendon,[6] Braintree Town,[7] Dagenham & Redbridge,[8] and Cambridge City, where he acted as goalkeeping coach and played occasionally into the 2001–02 season.[5][9]
