More than 320 people turned out in the rain to support 1972Jets annual Remembrance fixture on Saturday
The founder of a football club has been hailed as “absolutely magic” after one of the most prestigious regiments in the British Army helped pay a poignant tribute to a late soldier and footballer at a special Remembrance match.
More than 320 people were at the Boundary Stadium to watch the Combined Counties League side ease to a 9-0 victory in the game following their 6-0 success 12 months ago. The fixture is not about the result though, but the occasion and what it represents as a moving act of Remembrance and tribute to Pte Lake was held prior to the game.Coldstream Guards manager Sgt Craig Backhouse praised Jets general manager John Elliott, who founded the club 50 years ago, for holding the event.
The Jets assistant manager said: “It’s a great day. I was involved last year which was my first one, but I’ve known John since I was 16, 17 and I’ve played for the club year after year. He puts so much into it and this means so much to him.
