Colley Young Socialists FC

Recommended Posts

Anyone remember a football team called Colley Young Socialists from the 60s / 70s they played in the park on Remington Road Parson Cross. I played for them and so did my brother I would be interested to see if anyone remembers the team.

Yes, I remember that team well and the two brothers too

 

The older brother was a very canny player, I’d bet money on the fact that he went on to play at a higher level as he was class...

 

The younger brother was a bit of a fop really and held himself in high esteem, that his feet didn’t live up to.

 

I hope that isn’t you or my memories will be getting off to a bad start...but I’m gambling on the fact that the younger lad wasn’t that sharp, and you can obviously drive one of these new computers

 

Kev, or Keith Jackson was a classy goal scoring centre forward and could convert some of the quality crosses coming in from the older brother..those two were the backbone of the team

 

What were your names? I seem to recall that you had an odd surname but it won’t come to me and I’ve been trying to remember for days

 

Would be great to catch up some more

Hello

Just thought I would reply mainly to SORRYCOLLY. I little unfair on me, me being Stewart Crapper Harry Crapper was my oldest brother. When I played for colley y s I was only 16 years old and I was playing against mature men I think I held my own when I played for Colley. I don't know who you are so I cant give and credence to your unkind remarks against me. Well I went on to be on Wednesdays books train with the youth team for Sheff Wed for 2 years. Unfortunely I wasn't good enough and I had one eye on the ladies and the other on a beer glass. I played until I was 55 years old in the local leagues to a decent level but I had to have a hip operation so the end of my football days. Do you remember these Colley players.

 

[]ALF HOWFORD, PETE HERRIN, DAVE BRIGGS, BRIAN SHARPE, LIAM GRAYSON, WAM/ WAGSTAFFE, BRIAN FLETCHER, GEORGE GLAVES,

[]That's about all I can remember at kid might fill in some gaps.

 

Stewart
