Quoted from DB
Could we raise a team to field in a local league and would we be worse than Cwm Albion FC.  


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne.....cks-return-week.html



We've been crowned Britain's worst football team: Our midfielder is 73, our winger has 'legs like Bambi' and we conceded 200 goals in a season - but despite the knockbacks we return every week
Cwm Albion FC in the Swansea Senior League lost all 22 of their games last year
Team includes goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald with no clean sheets in ten years



This is the worst football team in Britain, conceding 200 goals last season with a goalkeeper who has not kept a clean sheet for a decade and a pensioner in midfield.

Cwm Albion FC in the Swansea Senior League have a 100-year-old history but have fallen on hard times, getting a battering each week.

The club lost all 22 of their games last year - and had a mammoth minus 191 goal difference, conceding 200 goals.

The team includes goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald, who has never had a clean sheet in his ten years with the club, and veteran midfielder John Rees who is still playing aged 73.

The side, who play in the Swansea Senior League, have now been crowned Britain's 'Best Worst Team' in a competition by Specsavers.

But despite their bleak results, manager Dan Gill, said his players were fully committed to the team.

He said: 'Despite the knock backs, each week we turn up and put our hearts into every game, no matter the scoreline - and we lost 10-0 the other day, so that says a lot.

'I've been involved with the club since I was 16 and my dad, Colin, has been part of Cwm Albion for more than 50 years. We really are a family.'

Other players in the team include winger Shane Prior, who says he has 'legs like Bambi', and holding midfielder Paul DiMarco, who will 'have a nose bleed' if he goes too far up the pitch.

The team also features two sets of father and son duos playing together.

For winning the competition, the club will have a training session with a former Premier League star who is yet to be revealed.

Lisa Hale, head of consumer communications at Specsavers, said: 'It's obvious how passionate Cwm Albion are about the game, so really can't wait to get behind them and hopefully with our support they will have a victory to celebrate soon.'

And I bet everyone of those players enjoy every minute of every game.

Not sure if many are familiar with the Scunthorpe leagues but ever since I started playing 20+ years ago there was a team at Santon(village of about 20 houses) which played in Appleby that were thumped 20 nil every single week. Only just noticed they're still going and still getting hammered ever week!

Back in the late 60's I played in the Scunthorpe Leagues with Barton United, we started off in the 4th Division and had consecutive promotion's up to the 1st Division.  However, I digress.  I worked for a company called Eccles Transport as a diesel fitter, and based at Santon.  As the years have passed by I forget why, but I did play one match for Santon against a Barrow upon Humber side, which we won 3-0, and I scored all 3 goals.  Graham Rusling, who played as a Centre Forward for Scunthorpe United was watching the game, but I never got a call from Scunny, I think Rusling was afraid I might take his place.  (Doubtful).  Anyway, just a little anecdote that came back to me when I saw Santon mentioned.

Among the many better teams I played for, was when I played for Weelsby Rovers, home field Sidney Park.

Jack Wattam was God knows how old at the time; and I once played him down the wing with a beautiful ball which he failed to reach; and his son Barry said I should have played it 30 years ago.

I broke my leg in a kick about in Weelsby Woods; and it had only been out of plaster about a week, when I went to watch them on Bradley; and they were a man short so the game couldn't start. So with muscle waste, one leg was half as thin as the other, when I nervously went in goal. Anyway I survived.

I'm 74 now and I still play regularly in my sleep; and kneed in a beautiful goal last night; although judging by Pam's scream, she didn't think so.  

If the FISHY FC need a wide man, I am here.
