London and Kent Border (Sunday) League

I played in this league from about 1966 to 1976 and refereed on that league until 1980. This league amalgamated with another Sunday league in recent years, which demonstrates the numbers lack of Sunday players these days. At it's peak, I am advised that there were 137 teams in the LKB!
Thanks to a chance meeting on the recent Somme visit (Ian Wallis, former secretary of Addington Manor) , I have made contact with a Michael Burke, who seemingly dedicated his life to amateur football in general and to the LKB league specifically. Michael is shortly going to publish a book on the LKB League.
Thought this might be of interest to others on here who played in the LKB League.

Sunday football is a joke these days.
£150 for a pitch
£50 for a ref
plus kits, equipment, fines etc. It's just not sustainable.
One team I know that play at Hall Place are charging £20 a game subs. No wonder there are hardly any teams left.

I was charging £7 subs when i stopped running a team about 8-9 years ago. Had been a fiver for an eternity and I felt embarrassed asking for the extra.
no wonder no one plays anymore0 -

Played for the Woodman, which became the Who’d have thought it, during the 90’s. Played a few games for Plumstead Pacific when I didn’t have a game.1

Pretty sure that was the league the team I played for - Garelli - was in. Deffo not top division! It was made up of schoolmates from our rugby- only school. Think I was the only Charlton fan who played in it.

Supposedly getting people active but people having to pay these costs is ridiculous. In my day a lot of people played Saturday and Sunday.2
