So good to see the old team still doing well. Tremendous website. Used to watch Illogan in the seventies when the stars were the likes of Roger Thom, Brian Chisnall, Gordon Arthur, Arthur Caunter, Lester Kempthorne?, Andy Angove etc. Have never managed to be in the area when a game was on but still hoping.
what an absolutely superb website! New to the co-managers job at wendron im keen to find out as much history of my new team as possible and theres everything i want and need to know. already got my eye on beating some of those targets!!. so much can be used in motivating players and to see we scored 11goals in 5 fixtures away from home against some top sides without gaining a point gives me a great insight many thanks tony p
Hi Teddyboy Thanks for your response on the Cornish Soccer Forum. I'm not looking for a hugely in-depth history, just a few dates and anecdotes, and particularly stuff on the history of the grounds - the book is mainly photographic, but I want to write an introduction about the history of Cornish football and the background to the leagues. Please get in touch if you can help. Cheers Rougvie

Many years ago I would spend some time at the Packet offices jotting any reference to Falmouth FC.The Newspaper Sports Edi
