Looking at that photo -go up John Street from the Cricketers and on the right hand side there appears to be a small football ground.

Is it our early Academy facility?

The side that knocked Brian Clough's Brighton out of the FA Cup in 1973. A very familiar face amongst them...

Some dodgy haircuts there.

 

[BerksBlade]

Looks like on the cricket team, back row second from the right ….. Lee Majors impersonating Keith Eddy !?

Keith Eddy looks like an extra from Saturday Night Fever!

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Some dodgy haircuts there.

They didn't have their haircut until the Cup run ended. As they won it, by the final they were a bit hirsute.

Pipworth Rd School, remember playing football and rounders against them c1952.
Played in goal, at 10, with rest of team a year older on a quagmire of a pitch in rain.
At the final whistle and covered head to toe in mud I noticed blood on my knee and running down my leg.
School cleaned and patched me up, sticking a plaster on mi cut.
Happy days.
Turned out, on later inspection there was a piece of stone embedded in the mud, almost on the goal line, unseen by everyone.

What a shocking pitch that was, played on it numerous times early 70’s. Also there were 3 more nearby on the Bowden Woods plateau.
Played against the Sprinwood on there, that was not for the faint hearted, be rest assured.

I know. But we’re all so old on here that we’ve forgotten that we’ve seen it before.
