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!

Congratulations, Teddy Goalesvelt!

Hearty congratulations go out to Teddy Goalesvelt who has held off the challenge of United We Stand to claim The Lancer Cup winning this summer's Euro 2020/1 Predictions Game! In the end, Teddy posted an impressive 63 points, just topping United We Stand's 61 at the final hurdle. 

Only one of us - The Bee's Knees - was able to claim the 10 points for Italy as European Champions, while none of us were able to claim the 8 points for Golden Boot, which is shared by Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick. Nor did anyone predict that Jordan Pickford would claim the Golden Glove or that his Italian compatriot Gianluigi Donnarumma would be named Tournament MVP. 

As someone who firmly believes in the seamless and peaceful transfer of power, I'll be relinquishing my control over The Lancer Cup and mailing it off to Teddy in my old stomping grounds in Gainesville, FL. Teddy will be the holder of the Cup until the conclusion of the Qatar 2022 World Cup next December. Enjoy it, Teddy! 

Here are the final standings: 

1. Teddy Goalesvelt - 63 points

2. United We Stand - 61 pts

3. The Bee's Knees - 57 pts

-  Yellows - 57 pts

5. Man Utd Rules - 55 pts

6. Swansong - 52 - pts

7. Red Dragon - 51 pts

- What's Up Wheaton Simon - 51 pts

9. Gooner71 - 48 pts

- Red Devil 1FCK - 48 pts

11. Anfield Warriots - 47 pts

12. Blue Devil - 45 pts
