Having sat on the edge of the pitch at the Spayne Road corner of the ground, close to the old wooden dressing rooms, with steam from the prepared bath mingling with the smell of oils and the beer and stong pipe tobacco of the massed supporters behind me, I remember feeling the sheer thrill of watching those, (what seemed to me), huge players running on to the pitch preparing to do battle. That was fifty three years ago, the rest, as they say, is history. Although I left Boston for separate three and nine year periods, my love of Boston United has never wained. I willingly helped by selling thousands of tickets for the successful lottery during the late seventies and joined Des Portas as his co-broadcaster for Pilgrim Hospital Radio during the fantastic Jim Smith and Howard Wilkinson era and before the days of Radio Lincolnshire.

I have joined the Trust to help to build a fan-based organisation, that can integrate with Boston United FC, along with local councils, local businesses and the wider community, which if called upon, could ultimately save this wonderful football club from possible extinction.

Favourite Moment: Standing behind the goal at Hayes and feeling the sheer delight of watching the ball hit the back of the net for the winning goal, then savouring the feeling, that after all the years of striving, we had done it! Boston United had reached the football league.

Favourite Players: John Froggat and Chris Cook
