which sister FOOW?
You are correct - AUFC were in the conference in 1988 and were a strong team in the division below for many years under Trevor Gould (Bobby's brother).,
Cliff was an engineer at Antiference at the time, a well paid job, and was also earning very well at The Ducks. Southend and John Beck's cambridge both wanted to sign him, but he turned them down. As he explained , he could've given up his job , signed for them and then broken his leg on the first day of training (plus he didn't want to take the wage cut!)
Cliff still turns up at the games to watch max. Don't know if you knew his wife Jo, but she very sadly died of cancer last year


Sorry can't remember her name....been a long time. Only seems recent but in reality it has to be more than 35 years ago. Yikes!

We both worked at VW in MK and she was in accounts....it was a pleasant change to have a chat about footy instead of number-crunching  

Sad to hear that Cliff's wife passed away....  

I always had a bit of a soft spot for the Ducks as I used to go out with a girl who lived on Tring Road so the local "Bucks Press" ( I think that's what it was called ) always had reports on how they were doing.

Funnily enough though, even though I used to drive past their ground most days of the week when I was seeing my girlfriend, I never made it in there to see them play.

Most weekends I'd be back to GY and on others, Town had so many games around the Midlands, South East & London so most Saturdays were taken up with the Mariners
