If
I was asked to describe Sittingbourne Rail Football Club using one word
it would have to be "Quality"! or as Paul Leggatt would say
"Lush"!
We were one of the few Sunday league sides to be
blessed with a good quantity of flair players including the likes of Paul
Leggatt, Alec Rivers, and Andy Baker, backed with the experience of Paul
Adams, Tim Smith, Paul Oxberry and that midfield ball winner Paul
Acres. You just had to admire how Paul Leggatt would perform 360
degree rotations and spin past players as if they weren't there, Andy Baker seemed to have
the ball glued to his feet and Alec Rivers would flick the ball over his
own and the opposing players head and run past him. No beer Bellies around
here! Many of us went on to play beyond
their year and continue to play to this day. Yaw Buamah even went on to
join the MLS in the States .
It was a real pleasure
to be part of the team of which I'm proud. I'd like to wish each
and every one of you all the best for the future .
