Waffle Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Just thought I'd start a thread for a bit of nostalgia. Who did you play for when you were younger or now? not sure if anyone follows any of it now, but a mate of mine got me to watch the Derbyshire under 21 league this season and the standard of football isn't too bad. Adasc were always difficult to beat when I played. They're playing the new Belper side this weekend, which from what I've heard could be a good game.

mrdave85 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I played for Cavaliers u12 through to u16. Was a tall kid so got lumped in centre defence even though I preferred midfield. Fun Fact: Once scored from about 40yards out, turned and gave my manager some attitude about how I should play midfield (based on scoring that worldy), got "suspended" for two months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Harford Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Roe Farm, Littleover Dazzlers and then Mickleover Athletic as a kid. Mickleover Sports on a Saturday. Derbyshire Police, Riddings Rovers, Mickleover Whitecross and The Wheel Inn/Findern FC/Repton Casuals in the Taveners league. Some of the states I(we) wound up playing in amazes me as an old bloke now, seem to remember sleeping at Pastures hospital before a game one night after a big night out to save on the taxi fare. Some happy happy days in there, and considering the amount of matches can only remember one or two incidents of serious violence. Assume every team had one disorganised bloke who woul turn up with his boots in a carrier bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Rufforth in York & District Sunday league. Best name for a pub side I played against was Askern Villa! ? On the way out of Donny north towards Selby way. Probably means jack to you lot but just thought I'd get involved and contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Cavaliers u11, Darley Abbey Colts u12, u13 (first Darley side to get promotion for the club.) u14 briefly then started reffing. My boys currently play for Mickleover Jubilee u10 and u7...... Eldest has won managers POTY past two years in a row (yes my eyes moistened a little at the ceremony), first one was whilst playing year above age group. Youngest playing in his second season and has 13 goals already this season..... costing me fortune! Wouldn't swop watching them for the world..... makes my weekend taking them on a Sunday.

Yeah Mexy is next to Denaby Main where I've played a few times and which is next to Conisbrough. Played against Mexy boys a few times and the working men's club which might even be the miners welfare you mentioned Mick. Partner and one of my closest friends are from neighbouring Swinton originally but never played in Swinton. Old colliery villages most, like the ones I grew up in / near north of Doncaster. Askern, Woodlands and up Pontefract way. All tough places to go and play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Harford Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Yup played at Askern MW before. Sure my ex lived in Cconisbrough, as did I when I had a summer job at PolyPipe but I cant remember as its that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I've played for ADASC and alfreton town as a under 16 then played for The Swan and Salmon for about 4 years after that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 RJN in the earlier days, Belper Sports for a bit and then Belper Town. All of which were *****. Biggest hammering was against a Mansfield team that had some youth prospects in their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Harford Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Played against Swan and Salmon in my time, and a few games up Belper way as well. I'm 40 now, so this was 20 or so ears ago now. Back when everyone wore black boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ripley Rangers when it was still an adult team. But I only did the oranges at half time, ran on with the bucket and sponge, collected subs and washed the kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
