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!!!

  1. Wrong - I had a few games for Thorne Grammar School Staff Team and in the Goole Sunday League for Thorne Athletic.

  2. PS Thorne Athletic were TGS staff plus friends and maybe the odd ringer. ;)
