Evening Standard 5's

[Whitton Borders Bee]

Anyone got any memories of these. Nothing like the Plastic Sky Masters.

Used to support your team until they got knocked out and then whoever played Spurs. Nobody dared go under the stairs alone, even to the bogs as it always seemed to be kicking off.

Seem to remember Mr Bowles being class one year.

Saw the Bees reach the final one year - early 70s? - beaten by Crystal Palace (I think). Good night out.

I went in the mid 80's and we got knocked out in the 2nd round...can't remember who by....can't remember who was in the team either. I'm not being much help, am I Dad ?

[Chipper]

Went a few times, rarely saw anybody well known in the 'big' teams. I remember us beating Arsenal and didn't know any of their players, maybe they went on to play for the 1st team but they were unknown at the time. Still, really enjoyed them, didn't David cross score a hat-trick in 30 odd seconds for West Ham once?
It was televised most years, although the top teams were featured mostly, even if they got knocked out early doors (always wanted to use that).

[RitchBee]

We did make the final one year I recall

Bowles, Kamara, Hurlock in the team.

Think we lost to Charlton Ath in the final who had a young Rob Lee and his brother in their team
