Videos

The Club has been fortunate to retain digital footage of some of its key events.

Recently these have included Lee Thompson’s fabulous 2020/21 ‘BLUE TALK’ initiative, which he commenced during the 2020 COVID-19 lock down. To date he has produced >80 videos with Life Members, past & present members and supporters recalling some of the highlights of their careers and contribution to the Club.

These interviews are recorded below along with the career span of the member as a Senior Player and/or regular present supporter. Click on the name in the cell and the interview with that member will play.
