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!

All time club team tournament



Jonathan Wilson is a Guardian contributor and editor of the new webzine, "The Blizzard." Here's part 1 of the utterly pointless, but massively fun piece he wrote for Sports Illustrated where he mused on a tournament pitting Messi's Barca versus Pele's Santos and Van Basten's AC Milan versus Puskas's Honved among others. He writes match reports that are alive and you end up wishing that such a thing were possible.

Here's the LINK!

Kidding aside, that's the fun of this piece.

Even before you get to the "Group Stage" you end up arguing about LUFC '70s over Honved, or Platini's Juventus, or Dalgleish's Liverpool just to name a few. Romario era Barca rogered Milan in one CL Final so there's another one. Klinsman era Inter too.
