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!

It All Starts Here!

Morning, boys! I'm up early with a real sense of excitement and trepidation to watch my beloved Leeds United open our Championship campaign against Portsmouth this morning. If I'm being honest, I haven't been happy with the summer business, as we've only added three players and have sold 15, including Cry Summerville and Archie Gray. But every season begins with a sense of hope. So, come on, you Whites! MOT!

For some reason, the bookies have us as favorites for the title. I"m not seeing it. We've got a paper thin squad, with only 21 senior pros. I suspect that within a few weeks we're trying to fit square pegs into round holes.

Oh - great move from us, with the new boy Bogle finding Georginio running down the right. He findings Willy Gnonto in the middle who rockets his shot off the bar.
