JayRx1 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 HI I am interested in any tales from your days playing in the sat and sunday football leagues... Did anyone out there ever play football with a man called Brian Thackery AKA 'BRUNO' He used to play Sat, Sun League football in the late 60's and the 1970's He played for a few teams i.e. Ball Albion, Arthur Lees, Sheffield Club and he eventually went on to manage some of them. I believe he had a bit of a reputation on the pitch ..... I would appreciate any information about any players or matches from the above era..

It was the Arbourthorne Community Centre, who played in the Saturday Bible Class League at that time. There was no Sunday football leagues at that time. Prior to then I think he played for Heeley Boy's Club. Many years later I saw him playing for Arbourthorne E A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip reed Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I played in goal for Arbourthorne Community in the late 60s along with Tony Parkes before he signed for Buxton then turned pro. for Blackburn Rovers who he played for and managed through out his career. Had many hard tussles with Hoyland Town jags, Black Bull, Arbourthorne EA & Arabs. Great days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
