One and the same, JPM. He scored against my old club tonight. Typical. :o

Do I take it you have a more than a soft spot for "MY" club......the "mighty" Hornets?

I grew up in Croxley Green and played for them at schoolboy level many years ago. I still keep an eye out for their results, it must be said.

It's a small world alright Plastic!!.......I too grew up in Croxley Green ( Warwick Way, just off Baldwins Lane ) and have been a season ticket holder at Vicarage Road for many (too?) years.

Still living in Watford (for my sins )

I used to go to church on Baldwin's Lane. St Bede's. It's a small world but you wouldn't want to paint it as the old saying goes. :D

I left CG in 1990 although had occasion to return recently to Rickmansworth for my old school's centenary reunion. I haven't been near the Vic since a 3-0 win over Wimbledon (RIP) in 2001. Sitting in the Rookery to watch the match just didn't feel the same as standing under the scoreboard at the Vicarage Road End. :)

The church football team had just about died a death before I got there in the late 1970s. It was probably for the best as given time I'm sure I'd have only helped to hasten its demise. :o

Did you go to St Joan of Arc by any chance? Might as well ask that too since we were neighbours. :D

No I went to Salvatorian College in Harrow, but my younger brother and two sisters went to St.Joan of Arc ( Ronan,Grainne and Fiona ) late 70's and early 80's.

I started there in 1983 so would just have missed them I guess. Were any of them at the SJA reunion on July 16, do you know?

Now for the Sligo bit - my mother is from just outside Tubbercurry. Let's see if lightning strikes twice. :eek: :D

:eek:

I spent too many nights there when home on summer holidays as a youngster. Unfortunately my family preferred slit-your-wrists Country 'n' Irish to the traditional stuff, and so it's that we were forced to listen to. My earholes are scarred for life as a result. :D
