Recently we've had the Haule's and the Bamford's

Alan and John Hughes were key figures in the formative years of the club - Alan was secretary for many years, while his brother, John, was not only a prolific goalscorer but the Blackpool fan who inspired the choice of tangerine shirts when Ashford Albion changed their name to Ashford Town.

Alan Hughes comes back to see us every now and again but now lives down at Bude in Cornwall.  John, also known as Sam, still lives in Staines as far as I know.

 

Another pair of brothers, more recently, are Stuart and Ryan Lake, although without looking it up, I can't remember if they played at the same time.  Going back to 1966-67, we had Graham and Alistair Atkin.

 

I seem to recall that Anthony Eggington's brother (name escapes me) also played a few games for the Reserves.  There was also Dave and John White who played in the mid 80's, plus Pat and Dave Munns and John and Keith Lawther and the Antoniazzi brothers.  There was also Scott Todd and his brother and Richard Butler and his brother.  I'm sure there's quite a few more.

Off tangent slightly, but don't forget Burgo was subbed in goal by his uncle George in an away game at Peppard when Burgo got injured diving for a rebound from a free kick.

George was Burgo's dad, not his uncle.  Sadly George died a little while ago.

Ah, got him mixed up with Bobby, who held the previous record for worst Ashford penalty, away at Brimsdown Rovers many moons ago. Sorry to hear about George - he was a character.

Ed ! You have been telling that story for years and you have had it wrong all this time?

 

Go to the back of the class!

 

[Swifty]

No, this is the first time I got the relative status wrong. I missed that game and I'd have loved to witness the substitution!

Let you off!

I may have been the match referee for the Peppard v Ashford  match I remember one time
