Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Alright, guessing the goalkeeper is a bit too easy, so I assume it's a weird one. I'm guessing Ossie Ardiles - mainly because I miss the guy and his balls-out strategy. Love to have the Os down at the Elland rather than Dennis "the Menace" Wise.

Nice one, Gooner! Honestly, I have no idea. It was a pure fluke guessing Ossie in the first place.

Actually I know this. They did a alphbetical-order that year. Ardiles was first.

That's just not as funny.

At the risk of being called a rosette-wearing, pie-eating traditionalist, can I again put a word in for the 1-11 numbering on shirts? Ta very much.
