In Memoriam

Steve Howard, left 1977

Steve was a footballer with silky skills and although diminutive in size, hence one of his nicknames was Mini, he had such prowess at finding the net that even when his team did not make the final of the Sixth Form football tournament, he was still the overall top scorer.

He loved West Ham and was often heard claiming that they won the World Cup in 1966. He played for the legendary Addiscombe Aztecs, winning player of the year in 1983 when the team won the Croydon Sunday League Cup Final at Selhurst Park. That Steve should succumb after playing walking football is ironic, but also so sad that we have lost such an amiable and really fun-loving guy.
