It's 1986, the very early days of football in the UK - all adult recreational teams. A few weeks before the season starts, I'm white hat on a pre-season game between Chelmsford Cherokee and Grays Saxons. Grays is a small town most folks have never heard of on the River Thames estuary.
Despite it being a pre-season game, Cherokee expect (and get) a reasonable crowd and have programs printed. Sadly the printer makes a mistake and they read - Chelmsford Cherokee versus Gary's Saxons.
As I escort the home team Captains to the coin toss, a Cherokee captain (from a nearby US Air force base) says:
" Hi Ref, I'm Vic, I'm the speaking captain, which one of them is Gary?"
