My life in sports
1963. I was 7. Leicester City lost the Cup Final. I cried. Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith bowled very fast. I was inspired. At 11, a boy possesed, I scored goals and took wickets. By 15, still obsessed, I had played for the county at cricket and the district at football. By 18, after captaining all the teams, I went off to Liverpool University. More football, cricket and captaincy. In my 20's, I played football for Winchmore Hill (SAL) and Burgess Hill Town (Sussex County League). In cricket, I played for Finchley C.C. (Middlesex League). Turning to tennis, I became a tennis coach and taught many kids. Then my knees went. Agh! My sport connection is now online as I buy/sell memorabilia. I also write a blog on blogspot called GoalsandWickets too. I may play again. But I've been lucky. I can still enjoy sport. I have fantastic memories. Its been a great life in sports and a great journey, so far........

Give memorabilia to a loved one for their birthday
A piece of memorabilia can make a different and special present to a loved one or a friend for their birthday or celebration. Remind your loved one of special times when they first fell in love with their sport and/or team and/or star player.
