Give us a clue Cap'n, and a better one than the original.
As for Freddie King, remember him well.
ok trojan old bean, the annual game on the "hallowed turf" that is plainmoor, took place at the end of every season, for approx 15years from late 50`s to early 70`s,
between as i previously said the "inner & outer" teams
these teams were made up from the local council staff who were based in the westhill road main depot ( now where drug city tramways is built )
the inner team were as the name suggests, made up from the people who worked in the offices, & obviously the outer staff consisted of the men who, worked outside i.e.
dustmen,groundworkers, & the like,
it was allowed because plainmoor was owned by us or in other words the local council.
they played for the right to hold for a year an old battered silver cup which i belive was found at our local tip.
as i said the game was scheduled & played each year as the last game of the season,
hence freddy kings annoyance at having to wait for what he percieved to be a nonsense game
before he could start to rip up the playing surface & start to prepare his pitch for the next season,
for me as a plainmoor lad it remains another great memory of days gone bye!
p.s. the life size inflatable justin fashanu doll will be donated to a good cause ( the sidney hindle memorial fund ) "anyone remember dear old sid"?
