Sunday teams included Mark Lane, The Grapes, Istead United, Tonics and many “Guest Appearances” for others. I also had two seasons in the Medway League.

I started playing for Empire Paper Mills in 1960 and it was my only club except for a single season with Heathside Youth in 1963. I took over as secretary of EPM in 1966, a position I held until the team disbanded in 1996. I then joined the League Council the following season and took the position of Assistant Secretary when Derek Carey took over as General Secretary and added the position of Fixture Secretary at the start of the 2004-2005 season, I have been the Team Manager of the League’s representative teams since 1997 with varying degrees of success.
I was lucky to win many trophies in my playing career with EPM and had great success as my time as secretary. I revelled in the fact that in my playing time I was likened to Norman “Bite Yer Legs” Hunter.
I was honoured with the K.C.F.A. Long and Meritorious award for services to football in Kent in 2004. |
