Who'd he play for?
I played on it in 2001 and 2002.
9-a-side Scott Hodges Cup....I was a pretty big deal back then.
I played numerous mini-league games on it through the early 80's. My Uncle's best mate was the Mini-League coordinator and we'd sit up in the back row of the Williams Family Stand with the smell of linament coming up through the gaps in the floor and wall.
Often they'd be short and little ( I was, once upon a time ) Boon would always be there prepared with shorts, socks and boots. In fact I wore my full kit quite often, lace up guernsey and all. I didn't play many away games as his role diminished as the home teams coordinator took over.
I wore an onion on my belt at the time.
Good times. In those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say.
