Bonehead's Bank Holiday is objectively the greatest Oasis song.

Funny. Beautiful. Hypnotic.

Bloody perfect (depending on which kind of car you are).

Wow! Is this looking west towards Leyton Midland Road? If so I guess those houses were demolished to make way for the M11 link road.

Difficult to look beyond @walthamstowfc.bsky.social and their William Morris glory (but I'll always be a semi-regular at Whaddon Road ❀️)

Correct! Well remembered!

Great work on the pod(s). Sadly Tom doesn't have the same enthusiasm for niche football, but he says hi πŸ™‚

Hi Tom. I think you were in my brother's year at Leckhampton Primary School?!

I think it's the boundary marker thing just north of the Green Man, where the road splits between New Wanstead and Hollybush Hill.

Great fun being interviewed on the history of Leyton FC at their abandoned ground.

Perfect away day at Plough Lane.

Brilliant pod as always, chaps.

Some ideas for the next:

- Favourite left-footed Chelt players

- Favourite overseas Chelt players

- Top 3 things you'd to do improve WR if money was no object

Wimbledon v Cheltenham postponed, so it was over to Barkingside to see the mighty Walthamstow get spanked by Redbridge.

No, but Cheltenham Town chairman Paul Baker did when he was standing to become a local councillor. And that's where the story ends really.

Beating Southend 3-0 at home in Dec 2011. Everything about that performance screamed champions.

Leytonstone FC at Granleigh Road: Triumphs, tragedies and international friendlies β€” Charlie Gilbert What happened to one of London’s most decorated non-league teams – and its home of 92 years?

Leytonstone FC. They're long gone now. But they once had quite a following.

And, 75 years ago, they hosted Nigeria in a friendlyπŸ‘‡

Lovely little trip to Walthamstow FC last Saturday. Bovril. Beer. Bangin' half-time tunes. What's not to like?

Leyton FC: The story of an extinct club that strangely still exists β€” Charlie Gilbert For well over a century, there were two teams in Leyton. This is the frankly incredibly story of the one you might not know about.

Leyton FC. They don't exist anymore (well, not really), but their story is kinda cool. And their old ground is still there, slowly succumbing to Japanese knotweed...
