Nice one Raver, I deliberately ;eft out some of those just to go back into history.

Wonder if any other clubs could do the same ?

[NickR]

I would have thought a lot of teams could. Man Utd spring to mind! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Just kidding. Seriously though, quite a lot of NL clubs could boast having Intl players but not to the same extent as us I would imagine.

 

I mean, which other Non League club could boast having had two, yes two full intl Olympic Gold medal winning goalkeepers??!!(making reference to Dmitri and Abi).

[Bionic II]

Correct Raver and two Diamond blokes as well

 

Eh Raver Your favourite Urchin's match please?

 

funniest moment in a match?

 

Blimey this might qualify for a EC2 meets !!!

[NickR]

Favourite match has to be Darlington, something I never dreamed I would see in our dear old town.

 

Funniest moment for me was when that Jazz band started playing behind the Havant & Waterlooville dugout at the start of the season. I think they through the ball at them. Absolute classic!

 

What comes to your mind?

[J Lo]

craig cripps u19 for England

[Bionic II]

Yeh Darlo was great and the jazz band

 

Additionally Gravesend and N and of course Keelo's last minute winner against Burton

 

Funniest? When Spencer Fletcher flicked the ball past a Chalfont defender and used him as a push off to get extra speed, the ref just let play on and the defender was gobsmacked

[NickR]

Sounds funny!

 

Also, if not for the match itself but the on pitch celebrations after beating Berkhamstead to win promtion to the Ryman premier is a memory that will never leave me. So for me, that is also one of my favourite matches!

[Bionic II]

Yeh Berko in my special memory, revenge as well

Mever forget Jonesey taking picis all the second half until he came on that is !

And the 12 minutes added on by ref Valentino in the Great Wakering game ha ha!

cheers mate

[CraigDavid]

keeling also played for england. at the lower level, i remember seeing him get his cap

[Bionic II]

Yeh he's in my team of part timers, full timers, farm timers, egg timers, old timers, stop watch timers

Topman Keelo!!

Saw him at CIFC against Working and yes he was like trojan

[billy]

and could you meet a nicer man....NO

[Urchino]

Funniest moment for me was at Wivenhoe just before we won promotion to the Ryman Premier, Steve Jones was sitting on the wivenhoe bench having a go at the referee about decisons against Wivenhoe, also the Wivenhoe fans shouting what a waste of money at Taff who went on to score a hat-trick.
