OK..I will do that…I have just kinda been writing them when I break in the day on Friday and Zeke has been getting a kick out of reading them after he gets home from school. I’ll be sure to send the next on Thursday.
Thanks!

Kevin, if you can get these previews to me on Thursday nights I’ll put them in with the rest of the matches.

Henderson United Tigers v. The Golden Eagles

This is sort of the week to see if the Tigers have “what it takes”. They’re currently perfect (7-0-0) with two games left to play. They are coming off a bye week and this week’s practices have had at least three of the nine out with flu symptoms. The Golden Eagles were a very good team last season but had some of their best players cherry-picked by another team. Hopefully two weeks without play won’t hurt the Tigers form and they’ll win out the season, which will give them a boost going into the 2009 Henderson Cup tournament. Fun fact: Nevada became a state on Halloween day (October 31, 1864).

Bonetti was amazing, despite two major things I dislike about him (though one of ‘em isn’t really his fault):

1. He played for Chelsea for ages and ages
2. His errors in 1970 put us out of the World Cup (though he was only in there bc of Banks getting food poisoning, or Montezuma’s Revenge or whatever)

I almost mentioned Bonetti, gut I thought our readership might be a little to young to know him!

Ahh, Woking. They were also the pre-eminent FA Cup giant killers in the ’90s. It got to the point where you could almost bet on them making at least the 4th Round with a big scalp claimed in the 3rd.

Barnet, Millwall, Cambridge United, and a 1-1 draw with then Premier Leaguers Coventry City. For them, it was miraculous. Still have an odd fondness for Tim Buzaglo, their FA Cup superhero, who scored a hat-trick against West Brom. Good times.

Also the final club port of call for goalie great Peter Bonetti.
