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!

Spot on as usual, United We Stand. I reckon Fergie has a non-African policy because of the African Nation's Cup.

West Ham is a tricky one. Close but not quite, since Henri Camara, who is Senegalese, is on loan from Wigan this season and will be participating in the ANC.
