Islington Gazzette

I did actually go out and buy it at the weekend to see for myself if KTFC were all over it like a rash alongside their illustrious neighbours. Well their illustrious neighbours had a 3/4 page spread!! I eventually found the KTFC match report on the sports page furthest in.. AFTER the areas youth roundup.

 

Good match report, seemed quite balanced. Must admit that the guy who writes the headlines is giving the Mercury guy a run for his money!!

[HTFCew]

The Herald is trying hard as well. Last week we had "Redford treble teaches the Scholars a lesson", and "Berry buries winning goal against Bury" (for Ware v Bury Town). The Mercury effort for this was "Berry's brilliant brace buries Bury"

[Rhodes]

The words rash, all over and proverbial spring very much to mind here. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but it must be unprecedented for three brothers to be in a starting line up at a senior level of the game, I will be applying to the Guinness Book of Records tomorrow attaching this link:

When I was at Uxbridge we once had a side containing 3 Bamford borthers, 2 Cleary brothers and 2 Swift brothers, there were also another 2 Swifts in the reserves although while those 2 were brothers, they were only cousins of the 2 Swifts in the 1st team. Confused yet!!!!

 

Save your pen and paper Rhodes.

Even Hoddesdon beat you to it, the three White brothers all played in the same side together a few times in the early 00's

Second to Hoddesdon again Rhodes! How are you going to live it down?

Save your pen and paper Rhodes.

And they all kicked anything that moved - sometimes, they even kicked the ball!

[PB!]

Not very often though FM, times were hard we couldnt afford balls tot rain with so Talby used to show us how to do it by kicking every one of us in training.

I once played in a V&E side with...2 Virgo brothers, 2 Robins brothers, 2 Stingamore brothers (1 on bench), Wade father and son, Ward father and son plus a Bidwell father and son (the father was a non playing manager...Now that was a family club !

[Hasbeen]

I played for team in the 80's that consisted of amongst others, 2 bishops, a Priest, a Pope, and a Church. Sunday morning KOs were a nightmare to fulfil

[Tubbsy8]

We had 3 Angelini brothers in the same squad season before last

[blues06]

we've got the 2 mitchell brothers at v&e this season, peggy comes to watch sometimes aswell!!

Was George Talbot your manager? What a brilliant character he was. Always up for a drink and a laugh. Couldn't believe the way he left the club after all those years at the helm.

Yeah Talby was manager when I left, Also had Mickey Harvey and Ron Clack (now he was a legend). I know mate was scandalous, would hardly say he left the club though hey!!!

[Wader]

I was being sensitive :-)

 

The day he went it was like stripping out the changing rooms or the bar itself. He was an Uxbridge fixture and fitting.

 

A few great stories about him as well. Perhaps not for here!

[PB!]

Ha always best to be on his side in the training 5 a sides, if you valued your legs that is.

As always Kentish Town are heavily featured in the Islington Gazette following our win over Amersham Town on Saturday which was far more comfortable than the scoreline suggests:
