Early Memories - Eleven a Sides
From Facebook today -
Woke around 3AM so... Think I have only played 1 competitive football
match: for Tapp and Toothill (Printers) in the Leeds Sunday League lower
divisions (late 1960s - maybe 1970). We lost 1-2 but it should have
been more! Recall attackers running at us and being difficult to tackle.
The only other 11 a side match I remember was one arranged by school
pal Joe Rose: we lost 0-6 but 2 brothers on the other side had a fight
so they conceded victory to us!!!
Wrong - I had a few games for Thorne Grammar School Staff Team and in the Goole Sunday League for Thorne Athletic.
ReplyDeletePS Thorne Athletic were TGS staff plus friends and maybe the odd ringer. ;)
