It was 26 years ago today that the Vets began to play.
We used to have an anniversary celebratory match – the second of
two holiday games, sometimes doubling with Father Gore’s birthday – but this
particular one has gone to the wall now. The last time, I think, was the 20th anniversary match in 2008, when the line-up was:
Note the presence of 3 members of the Hay clan. Stewart and Simpson (back row, left) are now both officially retired, and Andy Gore has been put out to pasture - sorry, gone to pastures new. Dave Drysdale (3rd on right at back) and Tim Trimble (bottom left) haven't been seen around for a while, but most of the rest are still warm bodies, above the ground and trying to keep the Vets football flame burning.
