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!

A Footie Thread Only Bivalve Will Enjoy

The Red Devil recently unearthed an article that detailed an extraordinary photo shoot dating back to 2002 that the suits at the US Soccer Federation in their infinite wisdom believed was a good ideas a promo for the side's World Cup efforts in Japanorea. If you dare, you can see the full article here: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9529241/usmnt-new-york-s-magazine-greatest-photo-shoot-history

With Bivalve's birthday coming up on Thursday, consider this an early present. Enjoy!

Rolling back the years and really naughty but nice. Clint Mathis had a full head of hair and was about fifty pounds lighter, Landy had a full head of hair, but there ware warning signs. Pablo Mastroeni with the dreadlocks and Casey Keller being Casey. What's with the disco attire?

I think it's a long-established rule that disco attire is shexy, especially as worn by footballers. I refer to you back to this old chestnut by Hoddle and Waddle:

That was not disco attire, but it was typical 80s attire. Hoddle and Waddle are definitely not dancers and the music was lame bubble gum pop music. The song was never released because Hoddle signed for Monaco almost immediately after the song was recorded. Was this before Hoddle went off the deep end with the bizarre behavior that cost him his job as England manager, LOL?
