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!

TH-14 Coming to Seattle?

The MLS world is abuzz this week with chatter about one Thierry Henry being in "advanced talks" with the (still unnamed) Seattle MLS franchise set to debut in 2009. Why would he want to leave Barca to come to the U.S.? Who knows - maybe he's got a lot of Sunny Day Real Estate tunes on his iPod. Maybe he's dying for a good cup of java. In the end, though, if he comes, he'll be another reason for the Euro-snobs to tune in to the beautiful game as it exists in this country. I'm excited - how about the rest of you?

I don't think it will happen but the door has been open according to the latest transfer rumors.

Barcelona have put striker Thierry Henry up for sale after less than a season at the Nou Camp, alerting Newcastle, Spurs, Manchester City and West Ham in the process. (Daily Star)


Best of luck today STEVO!!!

Whether it's likely is less important than the idea that TH14 might consider playing in this league.

I worry a little bit that the MLS would ignore what would be the dodgyest medical and bring him anyway. Obviously the experience of Becks at the Glams is fresh.

I'd love to see him run for 60 minutes if he was up for it.
