With dwindling players, spirit and wins, the legend that was Romford Town has disipitated into nothingness.
With players unable to make matches on a regular basis and an obvious lack of determination and enthusiasm for the club,
it was thought best that the Towners call it a day rather than drag out any more campaigns.
With two games to go of the final season, manager Rickee Murrell had these parting words, "Romford Town has always been
special. It brought a group of friends together that would otherwise have found it difficult to find a reason
to meet up every week. The Towners have been running for nearly two years now and occasionally it has been nice to have
one or two people go missing so that we can bring in superstar ringers like Lenny, Jimmy and the like but recently things
have been different. Over the last few seasons we have struggled to get enough players every other week and it just
can't continue."
The Towners have a colourful and entertaining history, including the football fancywork in the good old days when Benny
Brace, Stu Whitaker and Mangan were on board for the Town. Even Stevey Childs played games for the Towners
as well as Rob Tynan and Mike Reade. Of course Stuart Leonard and Jimmy White were on board plenty of times to help
out as well as Steve Barker and Rogers mates. Even Peter Clayton and Paul Reade played one for the Towners just
showing that there was a time when the Towners would never have been without players.
The Towners have had their fair few oppenents as well. The wanker with the trampy purple joggers that McGhee like
rumbling with as well as the old faithful grandad Charlie. Even the lanky geezer from High Sue was a cock.
Plenty of moments to remember too. Those amazing runs that Benny used to go on before scoring in fits of amazing
footballing play in the first season. When Roger scored his first goal. When Jones had his first set to.
Plenty of memories.
