A POSSIBLE TRANSFER FROM ESSEX TO ITALY IN 1976

FROM ENFIELD FC v LEYTONSTONE PROGRAMME - DECEMBER 1976 

The above is a really interesting article from an old Enfield FC programme which details Australian club Kwinana looking for English players to join them over the summer of 1977. 

It also details the possible transfer of Tilbury's Mike Mitchell to Italian club Soresini for a fee of £15,000. It states the deal could of 'fallen down' but the winger could find himself in the football league shortly with then Millwall manager Gordon Jago making a counter enquiry after Alan Welsh turned down a move to Chadfields. 

Mitchell's transfer to Italy never did happen - He left Tilbury and later played for Walthamstow Avenue but suffered from knee injury problems. 

I wonder if any of the current Tilbury players fancy a move to Italy! 

If anyone else has any information on Mike Mitchell please add it below in the comments section or contact me on twitter.
