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!

Same Again, Please!

Remember last time? The Paddy head wound? JB roasting Rio for the winner. Ah, yes. Sweet memories indeed. I'll be teaching today, so I'll miss the festivities at Elland Road but I'll take 1-0 again.

0-3 at Full Time. I suppose it was a bit too much to ask for a repeat of Old Trafford January 2010, wasn't it?

I'll be looking for a nice bounce back for us on Friday night against Brighton.
