Apr 21, 2019 - R.I.P. Del HumphriesIt is with great sadness that I announce the passing of one our OPs, Del Humphries. Brian Robinson our President relates: Del and I joined Parmiters in 1950 along with Don Smith, Alan Burns, and Toby Evans. After we left school, whenever we met, we always drank a toast to "55". National Service separated us but we stayed in touch. In 1961 at the age of 21 Del,Don and I got into the OP 1st team that achieved great things. Del went off to work in Fleet St. and we shared a great love of horse racing so it was no surprise that his nickname became 'Arkle' after the famous grey steeple chaser.. Details of the funeral: Del Arkle Humphries funeral will take place on: Thursday 9th May at 1.30 pm. at Forest Park Crematorium, Forest Road, Ilford, IG6 3HP. The Wake afterwards will be held at The Carpenter's Arms, Smarts Lane, Loughton. All are invited. Arkle loved flowers so they can be sent or taken to the funeral. |

 Apr 3, 2019 - 7th X1 Cruise to easy cup winThe 7ths came out on top in the inter club Old Boys cup final against our 8ths. The early exchanges were not a signal of what was to follow as the 8ths missed clear cut chances that could have made this a much closer game. Congratulations to Ugo and his team and commiserations to Dean whose team fought till the end despite the scoreline. |

Apr 24, 2018 - R.I.P Barrie WilliamsThis Monday saw the passing of a true OP legend. Barrie joined as Manager of the First X1 in the early 90’s ,having had considerable success at a higher level, particularly the Sutton Utd win against Coventry City in the FA Cup in 1989. This remains one of the biggest FA cup shocks. Barrie had 5 seasons with the OP’s which culminated in the 1st X1’s highest achievement in its history ,by winning the SAL Senior Division in 1996/7. It was even more of a success as it was their first season in the Senior Division and the team average age was 33 ! The photo of that team has Barrie far right. All who played under Barrie would agree he was the reason we all worked for each other to achieve success and played such a huge part in our footballing lives. Never forgotten. RIP Barrie Williams Gentleman, OP, Legend |
 Mar 27, 2018 - 8th X1 win the OB Cup after late scareCongratulations to our 8th team after they overcame Suttonians in the final 3-2. 2-0 up and cruising, Suttonians staged a late comeback to draw 2-2 with 5 minutes to go and extra time looking likely. Up steps Liam Greenaway to pop in the winner in the last minute to start the celebrations. Well done Ugo for managing the team to this success as all those training nights paid off with silverware. |
 Mar 19, 2018 - 4th team bring home OB Cup for first timeThe 4th team after a pretty poor season managed to salvage something in the end. They went across London in snowy conditions to meet Suttonians in the final on a bitterly cold day. They took command early on and a couple of goals from Tom Harney gave them a 2-0 half time lead. They held out well in the second half to secure the cup for the 1st time. Well done to Zach and his team for making sure they had something to show for a difficult season. |

 Sep 13, 2016 - Veteran Visitors from Italy come to E17An Italian Vets team travelled from Jesi in central Italy for a friendly against our over 45s at Douglas Eyre last Saturday. It was a good game of football from both sides but the Italian silky skills and passing was too much for us. Nonetheless it was a great show of friendship and we hope to return the compliment by taking a team to Italy at the end of our season. |
