Just a random thread..Fun times with a footy..

We played on the Rotherham Road playing fields - football in winter , cricket and a spot of golf in the summer. We would occasionally venture up to Monk Bretton park because they had goals but it also had a massive slope which wasn't great.

We would take on all comers that ventured onto our patch and we'd win - 5 of us took 10 on in one game and still won We knew each other inside out!

We'd go down early, break for lunch and tea and would venture back when it was dark!

Heartbroken when they tore the old field up and turned it into what it is today as it took a few years for the pitch to bed down
