Sheila was a bit of a trailblazer then as she managed the U14's team (that yours truly played for - goalkeeper), almost unheard of in those days. The U16 boss at the time was a German called Joe Vittores. We used to train behind the Bowling Alley on the concrete car park (Ouch). We played on a farmers field which is now industrial units on White Lund Road.
So people like Peter Cross, John, Keith and Steve Agar, Gary Dennison, Don Pugh, Dave Wilcocks and various others will be made very welcome at the do.
I'm being interviewed on Radio Lancs at 8.20 in the morning - more secrets of the team will no doubt be revealed.
Pass this on to any wrinkly old has been footballers - we will all be over 50 now!

Some lads who played for Lancaster Boys Club in my era hold veterans matches and asked me to go down but i know what would happen, i wouldnt be able to resist charging in like an idiot before hobbling off after about 5 minutes.
Is Shelfie still driving for Montgomery's ?
