Football programme from 1986 IN THE MID-APRIL 2022 edition of Spotlight you printed a request on page 28 for information about an ‘Interesting Football Programme’ and a football match that took place in Groby on 4th May 1986. I was part of that team, in fact over the years we played various charity fund raising matches against the Leicester City veterans both in Groby and down at St Margaret’s in Leicester. Groby MF was Groby Men Fit and we met at Brookvale Gym one evening a week for men’s keep fit which usually finished off with a game of football. We were always fitter than the LCFC veterans, but we never actually beat them, although I did score a couple of times against them! Thanks for stirring up great memories.
Matthew Smith EDITOR’S NOTE: As promised last month, here are the programme notes by ‘The Birch’: Myself and the rest of the ‘Geriatric Megastars’ are really looking forward to our second visit after last year’s highly successful day - I say day because not only was the game a cracker but the hospitality of your organisation after the game was first class - plus, of course, the reason we were all there, the fantastic amount raised towards two guide dogs for the blind. By the way, I think Groby might borrow them this year for their forwards! Also Gordon Banks wants to be unleashed this year as he is now purring like a Rolls Royce, so ‘BEWARE’. Certain players are ready to burn themselves out, but Len Glover swears it means at the bar after. However, on behalf of all the ‘Geriatric Fallen Hero Megastars’, it’s a pleasure to come along and we thank you all for your fantastic effort again this year. As I wrote this before the game, I obviously didn’t know the result, but anyway bad luck lads!!
THE PROGRAMME from 36 years ago - also included advertising placed by some local businesses including Wilson & Sons, The Stamford Arms, Lawn Stores, Cathy Stephens Jewellery, Pat Keeling Model Agency, St Christopher School of Motoring, G M Hull & Son, Betty & Tony (Hairdressing), Bluebell Service Station, The Brant Inn, The Top Shop (Markfield), and J K Plumbing.
Store any empty cardboard boxes at the bottom of the stairs just in case someone has a fall.
