OMG... Da playrz h8 me... Im a total ****... FFS!!! :(
We've all done it, had a few too many down the pub only to drunkenly text someone, usually an ex
or someone we fancy. However, I doubt many of us have sent a late night text informing professional
footballers that they had been dropped for the following day's game.
The easy option would be to say that the resignation of Leyton FC from Division One North of the
Ryman League brings to an end the story of London's second-oldest senior football club, but nothing
in the history of this particular club has ever been as straightforward as we might expect it to
be. The story of this particular club (or the several that have played under its name) is an
extraordinary story that has taken in four reformations, a trip to the High Court over a dispute
regarding the right to claim the club's expansive history and a VAT fraud case that imprisoned the
club's chairman.
