Marple Athletic JFC - Looking Back on our 40 Years of Football

Marple Athletic JFC - Looking Back on our 40 Years of Football

Sharon Humphries17 Mar - 11:09

Life brings tears smiles and memories. The tears dry, the smile fades, but the memories last forever.

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it
- Lucy Montgomery

Calling ALL former Players, Managers & Committee Members from Marple Athletic JFC.

We need your help to write OUR story!
If you played for us or managed a team or the club between 1985 to 2024
please get in touch with Sharon at Secretary@marpleathletic.co.uk

We are writing a book and need your input.

Any stories, photos, newspaper cuttings or memorabilia would be very welcome. It’s all going into a book scanning the 40 years of the Club's History. Any old shirts, scarves, hats programmes or match reports would be welcome for a display on the evening of our 40th Anniversary Celebration currently being planned.

If you haven't saved any of this stuff but would like to be included then simply tell me your story. When did you start? What was your role (player, manager committee member) what as your fondest memory? This can be a proud moment, a funny story or the fact that it kick started a career or led to you simply making good friends.

We are very fortunate to have had just 6 chairmen in our 40 year history all of whom have been contacted and will be making their contributions.

We have had hundreds of Managers and thousands of players and all of them have played a part in our story and we would love to hear yours.

What we would like to do is to split the book into decades 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014 and 2015- 2024.

There is a lot of work to do in a short space of time but we need the material so the sooner you get in touch the better.

The book should be ready for a September Launch more details about pre ordering books will be available in June.
