Father and Son. A First?

[Smudge]

Was C.C.L.history made last Saturday when John Fowler and his 16yr old son Ryan started the game for Croydon F.C. against Wembley F.C.Ryan scoring as well.Well done to both.

[Krooner]

Must have been a proud day for John.

I'm fairly sure that Roger Steer and his son Matt played together in the Godalming & Guildford side (as it was then) when they were in the CCL.

[Smudge]

What a great gesture it would be if Croydon started the game against Farnham on Saturday.With not only a Father and Son playing,but an Uncle Dean Davenport, and a nephew Danny Davenport all in the same side.Now that would be a first surely.Both John and Dean have done a Sterling job at Croydon F.C. so how nice would it be in future years, to look back at the pictures.Sure the Players would not mind one bit,as they are a great bunch of lads too.Not forgetting NO MELTS of course.MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS.DO IT PLEASE.EVEN IF IT WILL MAKE AN OLD FELLA HAPPY,THATS ME OF COURSE!!!!!!

my previous skipper Dave Perry played with his son Josh about 5 years ago (although that was in the reserve team)

[no melts]

Dean already played twice this season when Danny played

This happened to Ashford back in the 90's. Our keeper Paul Burgess was injured playing away at Peppard on 11 March 1995 and was replaced by his father George, who had also been a noted keeper in his time, at half-time, when the score was 1-0 to Ashford. George let a goal in but we managed to win 2-1. Weeble will remember this match as he played in it - didn't score though.

JB Bates and son JJ Bates played together for bedfont green/town

[Davvers]

A good few years back,Herbie taylor played in the same side for Sheerwater with his sons,Darren,wayne and shaun.

JB Bates and son JJ Bates played together for bedfont green/town

And played against each other last month when JJ played as a striker for his loan club Harrow Borough against his dad JB at centre-back...JB came out on top!

[Carthorse]

Played for Sussex Nomads against East Preston a couple of years ago with my son in the same side its always a great feeling both being in the same side.

Richie cb hounslow had those twin defenders for a few years one l/b and one r/b

[ShiftyOnFire]

I don't recall spence! It has been a while & I only remember faces who score against me!

 

Cheers HTFC, ps. How's Tom Windsor getting on down Horley? Is he playing much?

Yes he plays all the time alongside me, yes he is doing well.

 

He is an honest no nonsense centre half.

[ShiftyOnFire]

Glad to hear as last year he ruined his knee and was out of action for a while.

On the other hand he's a s**t hot wicket keeper too, and just an all round good cricketer, like u said 'no nonsence' see ball, hit ball.

 

 

[duncs]

we had identical twins at Ash Ivan and Dave Muir two of the nicest people you could wish to meet and both great players.
