[Hamilton]

I not only played for, but also managed, the Crewe Safeway football team. I was our only scorer against the Alty Presto/Safeway and we lost 4-0 - one defeat amongst many!

Did a lad called Lloyd Gale play on that team? Possibly a lad called Christie as well - Lloyd's brother in law, I think?

I remember Lloyd, can't remember the other lad, but we may have had a ringer or 2!

did i ever tell you áll that at one time i had scored more goals on weymouths pitch than altrincham had in several attempts.
and cue tales of the great weymoth matches from Mr seller.

I seem to recall that Mr Seller sustained a concussion during one of the epic fixtures of which you speak which could have impaired his memory somewhat

[RageAgainstTheFirstTeam]

Goalkeeper and captain of Heyes Lane C team as an 11 year old.

Founding father, chairman, player/manager of the (sadly now defunct) Timperley Tortoises.

Once played against an Open Prison XI in the early 80s.......we lost despite all their players being in their forties. None of us were keen on a shower afterwards by the way

Played in goal for Alty Grammar and Trafford during my school days before playing for Sale Utd for a number if years before finishing with a couple of seasons and a league winners medal at Dane Rd Central. Retired at 30 due to having a glass back and dodgy knees!

Played a couple of seasons in the crewe regionals with Lloyd; strong as an ox and lighting fast. A shame that he thought he was better as a free roaming libero...

Christie was another lad from the west end. Ponytail, he married Lloyd's sister. Generally played right wing, sometimes up front.

Either way, small world.

Sure is!

Do remember him being a big bloke tho!

[NorthernMonkey]

Yeah he was. Black belt if I remember rightly - handy enough lad to be fair.

Did a lad called Blakey play for you as well? Not sure if he was from Nantwich safeways or Crewe - spitting image of Jimmy Nail, played up front.

If its who I think it is Blakey worked in Nantwich - really good bloke.

[NorthernMonkey]

Yeah, sound fella. Decent striker as well.

I played in the Manchester Publciity League for The Old Cock in Stretford fairly unsuccessfully. As you can imagine, everyone liked to beat The Old Cock on a Sunday morning.
