Sutton United Supporters 3-7 Colts Managers
15/05/09

For many a dream came true to play on the hallowed turf of Gander Green Lane in the Supporter’s v Colts Managers game. On a rain soaked and heavy pitch the supporters' team of finely tuned athletes struggled against their more accomplished opposition which included former U's centre-forward Robbie Seagroat and former U's manager and pro footballer Ian Hazel.


 

The Supporters fought back from 2-0 down to go in at halftime a creditable 2-2, but soon after the restart, found themselves 3-2 down before tired limbs buckled and the much fitter Colts managers took control of the match. The supporters were 6-2 down before Mr Frake pointed to the spot to give the supporters a penalty which was expertly dispatched but by this time the match had long since gone and the Colts managers rounded off the scoring with a seventh just before fulltime.

Right: Special mention goes to 50-something Kevin Sutton, playing in only his second ever game.

 
The match raised around £700 for the Colts section of the club.
