Thank you Mike… happy to put the record straight!
May I make a small correction please? In the scroll down of football teams there is a pic of the ‘Arle Court Football team in the 1980’s’ (Black and White striped shirts.) Not so.
This is a independent team called The Court set up by a number of former Dowty Arle Court players. The Dowty side was disbanded in the late 1970’s by Dowty because it had no employees in the team – yet we continued to use the magnificent Arle Court pitch. So, understandable.
In the picture (I am the goalkeeper with more hair and less weight than the present day!) but next to me is Mike Mitchell who was a long standing Dowty employee as were Andy Price and Tim Richards who played many seasons. I hope you appreciate the clarification.
