Didn't exactly have a great scoring record in the pro-game during the 90's eh ? But we love him, Ricay have obviously brought the best out of him...

I saw him play against Ricay at New Lodge once for Brentwood in the Essex Senior League around 1974 maybe ? And around the same time ran on the pitch once to get his autograph when he appeared in a charity game !!!
Anyone recall any others who turned out AGAINST us ? Come on, I LOVE these threads ! Who can forget that amazing night Bruce Grobelaar played in goal for Chesham at New Lodge ?

[finisterre]

I didn't know Grobelaar had played at NL, but you've reminded me of goalie Lionel Perez (ex-Sunderland etc) who I did see play at our gaff (I forget who for - was it Enfield or summit?).

[Bill of Shenfield]

Finisterre you obviously wasn't there to see Adekola's wonder gaol against Grobelaar then, I believe he was playing for Chesham at the time. Another against us Mark Falco, ex Tottenham.

Steve Terry...now there was a player that was definately in the twilight of his career...Nick named "Tanker Man" for the time it took him to turn with the ball.

[Cherry Blue]

I remember when Bobby Moore was manager at Oxford City and they came and played against Town at New Lodge, he signed my programme in the clubhouse, i think that was in the early 80's

Tony Gale played in the European Cup for Blackburn one year then for Maidenhead against Billericay (and others) the next.

That muncher has never played in the European cup!!! UEFA maybe

Where was you today ?

Kenny Sansom played for Croydon on a foggy Tuesday night.

[c'mon ricay]

He might have done in the mid 90s when Blackburn became the first team to buy the premier league (then got relegated a couple of years later how it would make me laugh if the Russki pulled his cash out and left Chelsea down [****!!****] creek)

Proberly on the bench for the 2 games they played in it

 

Peter Crouch also played at New Lodge for Dulwich Hamlet

You're right (from earlier post), I was wrong, he left Blackburn after they won the Prem League, so it should of been League Champs one year, playing for Maidenhead etc...

It was away, not at New Lodge, as mentioned on page 73 of his autobiography (I looked in a shop, I don't own it!)
