Yeah, I'm seriously thinking about popping to see Bethnal Green Utd on Saturday. I love the idea of a non-league day and definitely hope it's a big success. I used to watch Rippleway Newham as a kid which turned out some great players - Sol Campbell, John Terry, Defoe and loads of others. I even remember watching Nigel Benn play for them. He was a great footballer and could've probably turned pro had he not taken up boxing. Although I'm a couple of years older than Sol, we went to the same school and I can remember playing Wembley with him at playtime. My one footballing claim to fame.
