I can't remember the game to be honest

I remember Richard Dunstan who used to run the supporters coaches I went on when I was younger.

Anyone on here there, in the team or knows any of the players?

I didn't play in that one, but I did play in another one, Suipporters v Staff at the Ball Inn, cannot remenber for the life of me, what it was in aid off, but I was in Goal for the supporters, and kept getting embarassed by Jimmy Sirrel, and his abilty to cross the ball very acurate and very hard.... I was a member of Mosboropugh supporters club based at the Wheel at that time.
