An Opportunity to Meet Sir Bobby Robson? Plus Notes about Witton Park History Group
Whether such a meeting with Sir Bobby comes to fruition largely depends upon your motivation and Sir Bobby’s diary and availability. He has been invited to a DAFT event that takes place at Crook Library on Thursday 3rd of April at 7 pm - so cross fingers that he and you can make it. Hopefully by now you are aware that Daft is not a derogatory term rather it is a splendid organization that protects and celebrates the magnificent and extraordinary amateur football heritage of bygone years in County Durham. Ricky George is down to attend - Newcastle fans may well recall his spectacular goal against their beloved team in the FA Cup of yesteryear. John Motson, the football commentator and soccer statistician, was said to be a possible attendee last time I heard.
A typical Daft event includes memorabilia, football material, a talk, a few films of those glorious Durham football days and who knows what else!
