quilp Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 And goalies wore caps and polo-neck sweaters, etc... I see Alan Gilzean died recently. Hard bastard, Scotland's Tommy Smith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea I watched them beat Cambridgeshire (I think - Dudley Butt will remember) in the final and then there was a pissing contest because they didn't want to wear the 3 Lions emblem going forward from there.

One year they won the National League System Cup, a splendid achievement given the population, and went on to represent England in Europe, playing in England colours. From Wiki: In the 2005–06 season, the Isle of Man national team won The FA National League System Cup, a competition for amateur teams representing the leagues at Step 7 of the National League System with a few other leagues permitted by the FA. The Isle of Man beat the Cambridgeshire Football Association County League team 4–0 in the final and represented England in the UEFA Regions' Cup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_official_football_team Blimey I'm off to sign for Castletown - Qatar in 2022 needs my skill!

In effect a County. That’s why Ellan Vannin was set up, to join CONFIFA, to play “internationally” under Manx colours ( until they took their Ball home and got suspended from CONFIFA for not abiding by its (corrupt) decisions about player eligibility at its World Cup a few weeks ago ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
