A lifelong Albion supporter who has gone missing from his home in Lincolnshire may be in the Brighton and Hove area, police have said.

David Thomas, 68, who was born and bred in Brighton and has a brother in the city, has been missing from Spalding since 2.30pm on Tuesday.

He is described as 6ft 4in tall, of average build, with grey hair that is thinning on top.

When he went missing he was wearing M&S Blue Harbour chocolate brown cords, a brown leather belt, M&S light check short-sleeved shirt and blue and brown deck shoes.

Det Insp Dave Swan from Lincolnshire Police said: "We remain very concerned about Mr Thomas and are appealing to the public to contact us if they see him, or someone fitting his description.

"He may have some personal concerns, but this is out of character for him and his family are obviously desperate for news."
