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

[Barling Magna]

After playing for Barling Magna Primary School's First XI (well, OK, Only XI) my final footballing days were played as left back for the Geography Department's team Trap Two Thistle at Southampton University in the '70s. In dozens of appearances I never scored a goal and we always seemed to lose 5-0. So I concentrated on playing cricket after that at which I was slightly better.

So glad the thread went off topic and got its own one.

What a great read.

I'm a lot younger than alot of the teams mentioned but I was such a football nutcase, I'd spend hours reading the local papers taking in all results and team names.

That was standard wasn't it, every result from every league, junior and adult always appearing in the local rags in such detail.

My first ever competitive football was for the Porters Grange Southend Cubs section (was it 1st Southend?). We used to play mini soccer against the other cub groups at Bournes Green park.

Played for:

Westborough Primary School
Thorpe Athletic
Portdean Lions
Westcliff United
ShrimperZone FC

That's it. My job meant I had to retire as I could not risk injury. Sad times.

I still want to play by the way...reemergence of SFZC @The General one day (not yet though as life is too quick!)
