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!

Thank Goodness its Saturday!

After a long week, I feel as if someone has kicked me in the face, but I'm hoping to bounce back this weekend with some rest and lashings of Premiership and Championship footer. I slept in through most of the early one, which saw the Hammers shock Citeh with a 2-1 win. I'm now setting up to watch the 10am match-up between Sunderland and Arsenal while following the rest of the matches on Soccer Saturday. Join me if you're around.
