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!
Sunday Prem Footie
It's a Sunday triple with two 8:30 kickoffs and an 11 AM kickoff . The pick of the lot has to be the high flying Spuds vs Liverpool at SFL where Balo makes his Pool debut. The other 8:30 match is is Villa vs Hull City. The late one is the newly promoted Foxes vs the Gunners from the Crisps.
