One of my old mates (drifted apart dont really see him that much nowadays) used to play for them Gary, surname Winchcombe bet someone off here knows him, cracking little player, used to twist us all up big time in the park when we were younger!
Also one fella who played yesterday Jimmy Rogers is the brother of one of the lads who works here.
He used to play for Thamesmead Town before VCD, i went to watch him play once and he said Ollie i'll score a goal for you, he did and it was prob the best goal i've ever seen to this day lol, used to play at west ham with Rio Lampard etc, then got a bad injury! Shame he was quality!
If its the same ground (up the road from the gasometer) then no wonder the didn't get promoted due to ground problems - I played there in the late 80's for Dussek Campbell and the pitch & changing rooms were no better than a sunday league ground.
Think you need to visit the ground again mate it has completly changed even the pitch has been altered now playing from top end to the bottom end of houses and also has a stand and turnstiles
