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]
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.
