Early 70's I played for the Ossy Nippers and later for Ossy Rangers. Bazf do you remember the Sunday league they used to have? Mini league and Cup for under 11's with team names Rangers, Rovers, City and Vale etc. I still have the little trophies that I won. I have very good memories of playing at the 20 steps field including the only time I was ever sent off, age 11 and ordered off for throwing a mud ball at the ref, it hit him full in the face and I remember him laughing as he showed me the red card.
