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!

Sorry mate, they are not, but I am sure the above clubs would love to use their airport and stay at the LuTON HilTON.

Good fun at my expense. Well in, lads.

Does NewTON Heath count as the true United?

Nice try, but I believe UWS will be a stickler and not give you credit.I think we are down to one team.

Teams that do not count:

LuTON, DarlingTON,WorkingTON.


Chris HughTON of Norwich does not count


West Ham United play at UpTON Park,but that does not merit credit.

Hull KingsTON Rovers play rugger.


LivingsTON, Greenock MorTON, and HamilTON Academical don't count because they all play north of the border.

Also Arsenal play in IslingTON, but that does not count. Neither does TottTONham , even though Gooners may beg to differ.
