My Dad Charlie Watson on the back row as the keeper 😊 I was 2 at the time so good to see this photo!

So proud to be a player in this team. 6 seasons I played for Rainworth, first season league runners up, next 5 league winners, 2 Notts Senior Cup winners, 3 League Cup winners, 1 F A Vase finalists at Wembley.

What a brilliant photo. I played for Gedling MW for about 5 seasons and I can remember having many battles playing against these guys. We only managed to beat them once in all that time, and that was a hard fought 1. 0. win at home. I went to Wembley also to watch them play against Forest Green Rovers. Great memories. Thanks.

Rainworth Miners Welfare. Back row left to right – R. Timms, A.Raine, D.Hallam, C. Watson, N. Robinson, B. Dawson, S. Murphy, J. Slater, T. Sterland, Middle row – M. Hodgson, D. Radzki, A. Wright, B. Phillips, J McGowen, A. Cooling, B Knowles, Front row – M. Oliver, B. Reah. It was a great achievement for this team to reach the FA Vase final at Wembley, unfortunately they lost 3 – 0 to a much stronger Forest Green Rovers team. But also in that season they won the Notts Alliance, the Notts Senior Cup and the Notts League Cup. They also had some great results in the earlier rounds of the FA Vase against much tougher opposition. They had a crowd of over 5,000 for the semi final at Rainworth which bettered 13 league attendances that day. It was a really tremendous season for this team. One player missing from the photo is Paul Comerford whose great wing play was instrumental in Rainworth’s success that season.
