[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]I've already had meetings with the Former Players Assoc and Football Aid who are very keen to get something organised but make it more interesting. it was available last year but you bought an individual place on a team so played with strangers. We thought it would be more attractive to have a team of mates plus some ex-charlton players (webster, Bumstead, Foley etc) and play the game at the Valley. What we need to get in a decent slot at the Valley ie a Weekend or Friday evening after the season ends.
Yes women can play, why not.
Sound like we could get two teams together. Reds v Blacks or whatever. You'd have to pay or get some sponsorship
Would be excellent if we could organise - sounds great Henry. When I was playing at uni, there were some issues over mixed matches - something the FA frowns upon, apparently...that was a long time ago, but might be something we'd need to check. I'd also need to know that a few more females would be on for it - preferably ones as old and unfit as me! Anyone out there??
Left Winger (like my hero Len) as a kid but then got far more into Rugby so after that tended to goalkeep by preference but would play anywhere when I made my occasional appearances in the Kent Suburban league to help my mates out if they were short.
Left back, centre half, left midfield and up front, every team I played for, at some would end up in goal, (playing gaelic football for 6 years helped in this postion.)

Sounds identical to me guiness, except for the centre half bit, Gaelic in this country?
[cite]Posted By: guinnessaddick[/cite]St Anns, home ground at New Etham,also played at Hackney Marshes, Edmonton and Ruislip and touring Ireland every Easter for the craic.
Used to play all our home matches at Eltham until they moved all fixtures to Ruislip, then travel became an issue. Played for St. Malachy's, Dartford and did the Easter tours of Ireland, mostly in the Meath and Cavan area, fantastic fun.

Or left wing - like in the days before subs, when you put your injured player out on the left wing.
