"alan devonshire went to selborne-mad for the bookies. know the butlers as well....the ol man used to drink with me dad.had a son bit older than me...often in my house for card games after the boozer."

Sister Lesley Devonshire was in my class right through Selborne, Kev Butler was in the year below me and Neil was a year below that in the same class as my sis.

Went right through 4th perivale cubs and scouts with Kev and Neil good lads both of them they lived on Conway crescent if memory serves around about the end on thames Ave. as kids we all used to lump on the 105 from medway parade to the rangers

played for the real scout lot.....3rd...under the bridge by the station. all my pals played for the 4th but i was to good for you lot. you lot from that small hut over the m40......near the hospital. easy games to b fair.

I last saw Chris Edwards in the Bush Ranger perhaps 6 years ago. most of those names ring a bell and I knew marvin his sister Pat was in my year dave b and his brother pete and andy benn very well. we must have been in the back of that transit to buckmore together on occasions, if you were in Chris edwards class you may have known my younger sister Natasha

"Thames Avenue"
Did you go to Selborne?

Perivale
Greenford, Uxbridge

No my Mum and Dad moved to Northwood Hills when I was about 2, so I went to Northwood School aka Potter Street ! My Nan stayed at Thames Avenue though, so spent many many days back there when growing up and I then worked in Aintree Road for about 17 years at Garden House Press Printers.

Ted love your poems but please relate to it as FOOTBALL NOT SOCCER, sorry just have a pet hate for that ####ie term.

ducane rd/perivale/port of spain, trinidad

ya ya

soccer or football its so very strange
i loved it so very much always hitting thirty yarders when i was out of range
every manager i ever played for would shout the same thing,pass pass pass
but i never did i was so in love with myself, i thought i was class
the trouble was when i got the ball ,i started throwing body swerves
but a horrific shin injury shatterd my nerves

that was it lads the end of my carreer
26 years of age and all my dreams were to disapear
but i still have my dreams to keep me going
and somewhere in my subconcous mind im knowing
that just one of those thirty yarders did one day go in
every one was amazed and on my face was a big grin

[hanwell ranger]

peter g! chris edwards still gets down rangers now and then, marvin used to come to games with me up untill last year before he moved to hayling island (was handy for pompey) still comes down from time to time. andy benn built his own house down in eastbourne his older brother gary is still a regular down loftus rd. about 8 of us season ticket holders from perivale/hanwell all sit together. my strongest memory of buckmore park was driving back through london and peter bryant spewing all over me in the back of the transit.

Feels like it! A caravan and pick-up would have been a lot easier and cheaper!!
