FA Cup

Thanks Lol. Looks like I was one out as there is another preliminary round before the little 'big' boys enter the competition and 3 more rounds before we enter and leave

After our foreign travels to FC Romania a couple of rounds back we're 'abroad' again with Concord Rangers who are based on Canvey Island and are actually named after Concord beach. They have a famous name in goal, Sam Beasant, son of Wimbledon's Wembley hero Dave and up front there's Nana Boakye-Yiadom who plied his trade for 4 games at Barnsley back in 2014.

Most famous Canvey Islander is probably Peter Taylor, ex Palace and Spurs player who managed England for a game and was responsible for making Posh Spice's husband captain of the national team. I think he played against us in an eventful night match back in the mid-70s for Palace under Malcolm Allison, the one where it was 0-0 at half time but we went on to win 4-1 with 3 Palace players sent off in the 2nd half. A certain MM moderator who won't be named left that game just after half time and missed all the action because he was cold

Never seen a manager get so much stick as Malcolm Allison did that night in his big hat & even bigger cigar.

I was there that night great evening. One of their players was sent off for deliberately booting the ball into the crowd.
