Your Grandad's Football
Including Fletton and Woodston history and memories
FOOTBALL
I write my account of football, from my point of view, with the intention of recalling times, acquaintances and friendships made through my obsession with the game. As a Wannabe, who graduated to be a Never Wasser but gained a lifetime of memories of football and people - most likely your dad, grandad or great grandad are among them. Who cares? Most of the details are connected to the Peterborough area, covering pre-war local football, grounds, schools, the Posh and personalities, continuing through war-time and into the 1960’s. If this interests you, then read on friend. If not don’t waste your time.
​
The directory of players in the concluding pages shows the player’s name, their major club, or the club where I first encountered them; the years may differ slightly due to changes of club, etc. There may be the occasional error and I apologise for any that may offend, and also for any omissions.
