Favourite Team/Player:

Best Goal Scored:

There are so many I can't remember - if I had to pick one it was a diving header from 20 yards against Witan. Sadly it was an own goal which cost us the game.

Best Goal Seen:

Mike Massey against Natwest in the cup to win the game 1-0

Best BoE Game Played in:

Midland Bank when we won the LFFA cup for the first time. Also our defeat on penalties to Old Bromlieans in the 1/4 final of the AFA senior cup. Titch missing the 1st of many penalties over the years.

Best Game Seen:

Liverpool v AC Milan - breathtaking unless you support the blue side of merseyside.

Scoring my one and only Bank penalty (100% success rate unlike some - Titchy?). We were 7-0 up at the time playing against 10 men.

Least Memorable BoE Moment:

Losing to Lensbury in my only cup final as captain for the ones. Oh and throwing up at the bar at the Sports Club after 1 too many sherberts.
