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!

Ben Olsen retires

Something that got lost in the pre-Thanksgiving shuffle was the announcement of Ben Olsen's retirement. He'll be missed by the DC United faithful but the rumors are that when a new coach is announced, Ben will return as an assistant. It's the fervent wish of many a DCU supporter that he stays with the club. Here's a brief and touching video from when he returned from a long injury to play against LA. You can feel the affection we have for him and how overwhelming it was for him to be recognized.

Ben's career was tragically cut short by a series of bad injuries. I remember well seeing him as a teenager playing at RFK for DC United. Great player - he'll be missed.
