I also played on EP. It was 1963, I was 11 and it was Great Moor Juniors v Bridge Hall, schools final, I was goalie. Full pitch, full-size goals. The goals were huge and I was 5’0”. It was the thrill of my life to occupy the same goal as my hero, Harold Lea. We lost, 2-5, I was busy. We all washed off the mud in the players’ bath.

I only made it to the semi finals of the schools cup, I was absolutely heartbroken!
