Ben wasnt born until 1995 so not likely.

Played for Newhaven Town Under 18's in 1990/91 and a couple of times for the first team. Was picked to play for the Sussex FA but was taken off at half time due to being utter dogshit.

Couple of pub teams then packed it in to concentrate on music and getting fat.

I'm sure he means the 1980s, not 1880s

Played one season for Aymer Athletic in 1990, then became a ref from 1992 till about 2005.

Wow...I played for Aymer athletic when we created the club in the 80’s. I was centre back for a few years and then ended up in goal...all Sussex Sunday divi 13.

That would have made mum 191 when she passed away in 2010. So yes it was 1980s. I think that Roy was the boss and it was about the time it changed from being a standard 2 bar pub to The George Carvery.

Aymer athletic have the proud distinction of being the team I managed to score a double hatrick against, admittedly they only had 10 men and my brother was the ref

Preston Park Academicals. Lower reaches of SSFL. But I had pretty much given up by the 80s.

Eyesight went when you were playing ?

Norton Wanderers
and
Mid Sussex NALGO (though they were more Sussex County North)

Can I go back a little earlier? I played for Granada FC 1970-71 and unfortunately damaged my neck playing in goal. Ron Pavey was secretary of the SSL at that time, and as I was advised not to play again after the injury he persuaded me to take up refereeing. I followed his suggestion and ended up class 1 ref in Hertfordshire after moving there.

It was amazing just how many teams throughout Sussex there were during this period.

Yep, it was an absolutely massive league in its day!

It's a real shame how Sunday football has died over the years - too expensive and too many other distractions I guess...

Pre match warm up 5 Park drive and a can of charger

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 minute.

Both Leagues in a bad way now.
