BRITISH RAIL FOOTBALL TEAM
Game against a French team
By Paul Blackman
Found this photo recently. It's British Rail Football Team from around 1969 and we played a team from the French Railways at Newhaven's Ground at Fort Road. Can't remember much more but can name most. Those in plain shirts and shorts are British Rail....am obviously not naming Fench players in strips.
Back row.....2 on left end are Alan Prior and Johnny Allen. Extreme right on back row is Ray Wells.
Front row from left...Bob Jones (not in kit), Tony Funnell, Alan Tapp (4th from left)....who I am sad to say passed away earlier this month on November 2nd 2014....Alan was Club Captain and a smashing guy who was always around at Club Meetings and Training to help in whatever way he could and a great influence on us younger players ... next to Alan is Graham Amy, Dicky Sorrell, Paul Blackman and Ricky Atkinson.
