Spot the Player

Can you spot the Broomfield players from these descriptions printed in various club publications?

Family man ????? has found first-team chances hard to come by (none to be exact) but he is always willing to boot his latest conquest out of bed to come and watch us play. 

????? created  club history by being the first player to appear in boxer shorts and eye-liner. 

Stripped of the captaincy this season, ????? is now totally incapable of communicating with team mates by any other medium than fax.

????? excelled at running into corners and screaming.

????? models himself on Des Walker but unfortunately plays like Murray Walker.

????? recently graduated from the Broomfield YTS (Yob Training Scheme)

Broomfield are back

Welcome to the official Broomfield blog. I may create a proper website if I can be arsed (there is a company that does football team sites but their admin doesn't support Macs) so for now this is the place for all things Broomfield.

I'll be putting up photos, stories and club programmes from bygone years and would also welcome contributions from any of you – even if they are just abuse. You can post comments in reply to any item, or mail me an article at davidpreston1@mac.com.
