Gary Mickle white and Phil Coleman from Roan Grammar School for boys. Gary was at Man Utd but didn't make a breakthrough there. Did well for QPR and Derby. Phil played for Millwall.
4 Roan boys - in my brother’s year. In 1977 Roan reached the all England schools final played at St Andrews which I attended. They also reached the final in 1971 which I went to. Can’t remember the results but think we won both.

My age group. Played Sunday football and Dave Mehmet was in my Bedens Boys side, in the Independent Junior League. My Dad was Secretary of that particular league and the LYFA as well.
Played against Micklewhite who played for Inter Fico. Pretty sure he went to Welling school before Roan? Carter played for Oxford CTA on a Sunday. He was an absolute beast but by the age of 16 his opponents had bulked up and matched his physicality and his presence waned.
Emeka Nwajiobi was in the England U19s. He played for Dulwich Hamlet three times before Luton Town took him to play in the old First Division. Also played full internationals for his native Nigeria. He came to my school Brockley County in the sixth form. We had an England Schoolboy international but had no School Football team!
Nwajiobi was quick and very direct. Remember him well in a good Luton team.
Dermot Drummy was a Hendon legend. We had a number of his family and former teammates at the club a couple ago (including Bob Dowie) for a memorial day.

I was at school with Nwajiobi who was at Millwall at the time before he headed onto Luton. We had some decent players in my year at Brockley but they had us playing egg chasing instead. Tutt Tutt.... who's year were you in?
I also played Saturday football with Dave Roberts who played in the Blackheath team.
I was at school with Les Carter, who was on Palace's book.
Teamsheet came into the museum today.
Any other familiar names?
Les Carter came on as sub in a televised match for Palace. I think this might have been his only appearance.
Of course, this isn't the most important anecdote about him, when he was taking part in playground football in primary school, my side got a free kick, I put my hand on the ball and the bastard kicked it, breaking my thumb.
I'm still waiting for an apology. I know, I need to move on.

Would you have a team sheet from a cup final played there in 81? Westhorne colts v Senrab.

Played against Les Carter many times; he was good, but not in the same league as Micklewhite.

For my part I hated the place.
