sdelaney Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 What a class hard player he was with all the other lads and manager joining us from Enfield in the 1970 was great time for the Rebels RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 We had a very good side then but must of cost a few shillings getting the manager and players away from Enfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Gibbs Batman (KGB) Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The players were, of course, all amateurs in those days. It was our understanding that they all chose to join Slough because their wives preferred the shops here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Gibbs Batman (KGB) Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 No transfer windows back in the day and no "social media" either so those supporters not "in the know" had to wait for Rex Cooper's columns in Friday's Slough Observer to find out who had joined the club, or more ominously, who had left and to where.

Kaiser Gibbs Batman (KGB) Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I "persuaded" my rather staid parents to switch from the SW&E Express to the Observer so that I could follow Rex's predecessor, the late, great Frank Keating who brought a new dimension to the reporting of STFC in the local press-one that was admirably maintained by his successor.

I started working at the SW&E express in 1969 and the sports editor then was a Leslie Lightfoot. I think he was getting on a bit then so wasn't around for too many years after the late 60's.

Roy Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Used to stop off at the paper shop in Burnham on the way through from Brum to buy the Observer in order to catch up on the team news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar situation here in Horsham. Sports results/tables pages ditched completely and no match reports any more just the odd feature containing managers' latest quotes.
