Here's a classic programme from over 40 years ago as the fantastically named Reggae International took on Cricketers in the Edmonton Sunday League at The Henry Barrass Stadium on Sunday 12th September 1976 with a 2.30pm kick off.
The league for the 1976/77 season ran with eight divisions and the programme firstly reports of the sad loss of Alf Frasi who had passed away in the North Middlesex Hospital in July 1976. Alf had been helping the league out and could of been seen every Sunday at The Barrass Stadium in the past seasons prior to his death.
Reggae International were in there second season in the league and 'thrilled us with their fast flowing football that brought them second spot in the second division' in the 1975/76 season. The programme reports they had added George West and Douglas Clarke to their squad - although on the team sheet it states George Best so I'm not sure of the spelling of his surname.
Reggae had three teenagers, McLennon DaCosta, Andre Grant and Pat Campbell, in their squad and the club made use of the gym at the Downhills School in Tottenham.
Cricketers have finished the 75/76 campaign with 20 points from a possible 42 on offer - They had previously been called Santos and had won the 74/75 Division Four title. As their name suggests they were based at The Cricketers Pub on Chase Side in Enfield. Their players Terry Callcutt, Norman Gilder and Jeff Aylott had all joined from a club named Juventus. Gilder, Calcutt and David Evans had scored well over 350 goals between them for the club in the four years they had been with Cricketers.
Reggae International were Division Two champions for the league in 1976/77.
The Alf Frasi Cup (for Division Six clubs) was played for up until the 2000/2001 season when Mavericks won the competition.
