Yes - 3rd January, 1988 was when it all started for Banchory Veterans' Football Group. I can't tell you the line-up on that day, or the scorers (apart from me, of course!) but I do know that Dave W and I, as instigators, were there, as were Dr. John Davies and a few other members of Banchory Squash Club.
It didn't take long to sort out the wheat from the chaff and soon we were casting our nets wider in order to recruit a few more ex-footballers, at the expense of those who preferred to use a racquet to propel the ball. Colin Elgie was also in at the start, but I'm not sure that any of the others who subsequently became regulars were there on that auspicious occasion.
What all this means is that BVFG is now officially in its Silver Anniversary Year - but how many of us will still be available/capable of taking part in the 25th Anniversary match on 3rd January, 2013?
