Memory Lane Shower of **** FC… Who did you play for?

[Strykr]

I played for Crowstone Peparatory School..........just thought everyone would like to know. That was probably the peak of my footballing career. In the fifties footy was difficult for boys in glasses

Good advert for prep schools there

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

When I was serving on HMS Bristol, we beat Helsinki Police 2-1 in the....................Helsinki Olympic Stadium.
What made it better, was we got a Police escort from the harbour to the stadium in the two Royal Navy land rovers we carried, there and back, complete with 8 motor bike outriders to stop traffic and let us drive through all the traffic lights.

Beat them in the after match booze up too.

That journey was better than the match itself though! lol.

Nail in cork studs and dubbin too, I bet! (same kit here)

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I played for Southend Rangers back in the day. We were ****, and I was among our ****test

For the record though, I was better than @Yorkshire Blue at footy in the playground at school.

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

Looks like a good post outside of transfer rumours. Sufc fans best personal footballing successes ?

Easy. In my GSM position for Rayleigh Boys under 16s, i scored in both ends at Roots Hall. Pukka.

 

[Stubb]

Rayleigh Athletic for me in the Southend Youth League.

 

[ShrimperLee]

Dhansak FC (yes, you read that correctly.....) and also South Benfleet United, Benfleet FC and Catholic United

 

[Target man]

Basildon Boys club, Basildon Town, Basildon United, Brixton FC, Canvey Island and then ran my own club for several years before calling it day at 27 and going into jujitsu.

 

[Tommy's Mooney]

Mostly Leigh Ramblers as a kid then Catholic United for a few years from 16

 

[dusterman]

Ooo I inadventedly started a new thread on SZ, my life is complete.

To my fellow dynamos, what year we talking?

I had a big kid called Riggsy in my team, I do hope it could have been Sir @rigsby

 

[RHB]

Rayleigh Athletic for me in the Southend Youth League.

And me! Went on to Rayleigh Town, Southchurch Hall Old Scholars (I wasn't) and then Eastwood Old Boys (I wasn't) before arthritic ankles curtailed my rise to footballing fame at 26. Started playing again in my late 30s and managed to get through a few more seasons with Customs & Excise in the Borough Com before some git broke my leg and Mrs RHB decided it was time for me to stop.

 

[Napster]

Thorpe Invaders, Trinity, Edinburgh Uni Football Society XI, SZFC, and now Weald Hamlet Men's and Vets.

 

[Finney on the wing]

Nail in cork studs and dubbin too, I bet! (same kit here)

Jeez - I remember Dubbin. Is is still used ? Bit like rubbing Horse Oils on your legs. Smelly Stuff

 

[SUFCGoals]

Dodgy ankles playing for the Custom and Excise, must have been very taxing.
Sorry mate it’s all I got.

I would've been around 82 to 86 ISH (u11 to u15's ?). Dynamos B team - although we famously beat the A team in the 5 a side final at Wickford carnival one year. Home pitch was a field down Cranfield park road and Saltcoats in south woodham. Might also have been at memorial park for abit as well. Trained in nevendon park and Beauchamps school tarmac tennis court!

Easy. In my GSM position for Rayleigh Boys under 16s, i scored in both ends at Roots Hall. Pukka.

Both ends in the same half?
