Team called Fox Alliance (out of the old Fox Under the Hill pub - Shooters Hill), which then became Polyweights FC (played at the Thames Poly off Westhorne ave Eltham), we have a great side through the 90's and I played there for about 15 years in total. Eltham and District and Woolwich and District leagues - have got stacks of cheap marble / plastic tat in the loft to prove it!
Now playing Vets for Belvedere FC and loving it - currently recovering from Hernia surgery 2 weeks ago, fit for next season though.
have made many cameo appearances for various sides along the way too...
I played for a team called FC Taurus who played their home games on those pitches near the sun in the sands roundabout. We trained every thursday night up at Charlton park. I only had two seasons there from the age of 17-19 as I tore my anterior cruciate knee ligament and haven't been able to play since
Inter Fico for a nano second as a kid in a side that included John Bumstead/
Unilever/Aries in the South London Alliance on a Saturday and played and managed Abbey Wood in the Kent Suburban League on a Sunday for more than 15 years.
I played for a Sunday team called Tracona, we won the Eltham and District Sunday League and on a Saturday for about 5 years I played for Plumstead Casuals, a very well known Club run by the Cork brothers. Great times
When I lived in London I played for London boys and Eltham park.then played kent youth league for sheppey United and sat on the bench for the 1st team in an fa cup qualifying round.then moved to Sittingbourne fc then drifted off into Sunday league football after being told I was to short for a goal keeper.the season just gone is the 1st season that iv not played since I was 10 year's old and I'm 35 on Wednesday I'm thinking of getting into vets football but can't find a team near Sittingbourne
Club song was as follows, tune courtesy of Watney's Red Barrel Commercials (worst beer ever brewed) :
What's the team that plays the best? It's Sidcup star Red Barrel What's the team that's always pissed? It's Sidcup star Red Barrel
Watch Red Barrel wherever they are At home, away or any bar They're always pissed wherever they are That's Sidcup star Red Barrel
Did they used to play at King Georges? If so, I seem to remember watching them as a kid though I have to say one or two of the players did fill their shirts - and a bit more!
