Hello Tony.
Agree with you about Peter Lavers. He has the club record for scoring more goals per game than
Any other player. He only played for us for 2 seasons. I particularly remember a 9-3 win over the team that piped us for the Athenian Div 2 Championship. In that match from memory Pete scored 6 goals. It has to be said that the League was not that strong but after promotion the next level up was pretty good. Lavers was a great player and went on to play in a higher level for many years. I believe he was only a teenager when he first played for us. Other players in that team included Terry Wood, Frank Fondyke , Mickley Angel , Dave Timberland and Butch Wakefield. Also Mick McCaffery who was a tenacious midfielder. After leaving he came back to the club some years later in the twilight of his career. The goalkeeper was Sid Hobbs who generally had little to do. Sadly the whole team left at the end of the season in Div 1, moving elsewhere with the manager Bernie Reeves . It all went downhill from there - nearly being disbanded. Luckily chairman at the time Charlie Gilliard had a casting vote to keep the club going.
