    The ones I came up against looked like heavyweight boxers, East End drug dealers, serial killers in drag and dodgy heart specialists who fell off the rails. The latter were the scariest.

    Did you come on the 1983 tour to Dortmund? A combined Brighton Electricity and Worthing Seeboard team. Great game that was, 4-2 to us over the Leccy workers there.

    17 divisions back in the day on Sundays, 10 in the Brighton League. So glad I played when I did. Roughly 1976 through to 2010. Played for Brighton Electricity, Lancing and International Factors on Saturdays. KTM, Windsor Wanderers, Station Cavaliers and the Hartington on Sundays. Loved every...
