Fantastic! Just found the video. I was born in Doncaster in 1956 and it is lovely to see the Doncaster of my childhood. Thank you!

Just seen that for the first time. Peter was my uncle, and the lady at the end was his mum, my great auntie Vi.

Exactly right Miles! I have just sent you a message. What a great way to contact old relatives!

Wow, this is amazing! Looked so nice in those days. It's rubbish now, a complete dump.

The other lady was Cath, his wife, and the little girl will be my cousin Virginia.

@WheresMyDinner64 Ahh cambridge cats all the way mate ;) tbh, the game we played away against you last season was wayyy closer than the score board told. What position do you play? i'm a CB but I have no idea where they're gonna put me next year. But to be honest, the exiles and glads are both topping our division, and they're both equally as bad at cheap shotting, smack talking and fouling as each other, but when you have larry the fucking ref every week, theres no hope for a fluent, fair game

Jack Phillips commented on 03 Oct 2010

@WheresMyDinner64 lol who do you play for? are you in the southern conference with the cats and exiles? The refs I have week in a week out at the cats are possibly the shittest refs known to man. They flag us, particulary me, for just about anything, they even flag players for roughing the passer, face masks and offsides who aren't even on the field!! They are a cheap shotting, dirty playing big headed team

@jackobendo1 I play for the East Kent Mavericks youth so yeah I am. Yeah same happened to us lol. Their chain gang got in a bunch of fights with our coaching staff as well lol cos we were dominating in the 1st half (they came back and won in the second, but w/e) and they couldn't take it. Seriously, if you want to be a top team, you've got to learn to discipline yourselves as equals on the field...

WheresMyDinner64 commented on 14 Jun 2010

@pitty313 after playing there today I can vouch for that. I played youth against them, and they were a great bunch of guys, but their refs were more one sided than a trick coin...

pitty313 commented on 04 Oct 2008

the entire game was a joke by colchester, that makes theyr rule breaking look like nothing, of course refs there dont throw flags on there own do they!!!
