Senior Cup Draw

[Laurel Lane Lamper]

I thought Chris and Steve were brothers. Steve had the unenviable task of following Dean Spink for the 1989/90 season and Chris played 1994/95. Did Gordon's father play pre-WWII?

Chris and Steve were brothers. Steve used to get on the same bus as me sometimes. I'm available for autographs and a book tour to promote this, obviously.

Steve was one of two who were to be the next Deano as I remember it.
Usual prize for the other name?

Chris and Steve are indeed brothers. It's actually a slightly trick question, Gordon's father actually only played one game I believe, shortly after WW2. He injured his ankle and never played again (facts that Gordon only told me recently)

Here won't be a fourth generation though, as all of Gordon's grandchildren are girls

Jonathan Farmer tried towards the end of that season

Slightly addled memories with age, but there was one bloke that we paid a Grand for, who came in (from Sutton?) and was pretty hopeless and another who only played with us for a bit as he shared a lift with Spinksy and couldn't make it for long after he left - he was alright as I remember.

The one that I was thinking of was described by Nasty Derek as, "worth more than Deano" and was another hopeless effort that I'm still waiting for someone to gues s (and tell me I'm 5 years out).
(Not Alan Attwood).

Do you know his father's name?

Gordon's says that his name was Fred and that he (Gordon) went to the only match his dad played at the age of 5 or 6. Fred had just been demobbed, so the timing with Gordon's age fits. He injured his ankle partway through the match and went off injured. As I said earlier, never played again, although not sure if the injury was the cause of that or just down to practical circumstances.

Tony Edwards the useless one?

The Field in that side agsinst Hereford only played in that match.

That's what Gordon said to me a while ago and repeated tonight - that his Dad only played one match. The timing is about right, and Field isn't a particularly common name. On that basis I reckon Fred and our Mr Field are probably one and the same.
