[100%cornish]

Int todays Newquay Voice there is a picture of the great Newquay team of 1982 what a team that was with Chris MORRIS and other great players in it but it was also quite upsetting to see how many in the photo are no longer with us in the back row there was trainer Tony Kendall , Ray Nicholls and Phil RYDER and the great manager Trevor Mewton all gone in the front row the brilliant Chris Slateford  - but that was some team then .

Now this is a Football team. Forget today's 'pre-madonnas' these guys were great players. The standard then to what it is now is laughable. Chris Slateford, Phil Ryder, these guys would of played in the current league set up with their eyes closed, such graceful footballer's.

Absolutely, there is no comparison in the skills, today it is all kick and rush and hope! Anyone remember the brilliant Pollards playing for Newquay, today’s players would never live with them!

Showing your age now big Al ,my old man use to tell me stories about how good the Pollard twins where and someone called Mike Stern long before my time My all time great player for Newquay was a winger called Paul Bambini he was so skillfull and also John Lazzari i have never seen anyone hit a ball as hard as he could Ted Semley where 2 R.A.F lads and they could play there so many ordinary players in the teams now .Teams like St Blazey what a team they had they had a striker with long hair cant remember his name but what a striker he was so many good teams then and the only team i think could compete with the teams then is Tavistock they play lovely football

 I agree with 100%Cornish. The picture of the 1982 Newquay team in the Newquay Voice this week evoked many happy memories, but also some sadness when remembering that seven people in the photo are no longer with us. It was not only a good team, but a team who were great friends on and off the pitch, and a feeling of great fellowship prevailed throughout the club.

Tiny Rowe,    the Wherry twins,   Owen Warrick,  Morley Ball,  Jackie Miners ( hair net and all )  Johnny Boyce,  George Fisher, are a few that all played for St Austell over the years, as we believe did the Pollards for a short time.
Those of a certain age will also remember Roy Nail from Newquay, Basil Steer from Tavistock, Noah Lobb and George Rundle from St Blazey, really competitive and talented players who could dish out the tackles and accept retribution without complaint.
The man in the middle that deserves a mention when recalling the leather case balls and the men of that era, is Leslie Pearce, one of the best cornish referees to not have tested his skill at a higher level.
Les always kept control of the game, and now spends his time in his butchers shop in St Austell and churning out Pearces Pasties.

Morley Ball (father of David) and the Pollard twins all played for both Newquay and St Austell.

Basil Steer also played for Truro and was a very good golf player as well.

Owen Warrick was one of the best 'up and coming' keepers of the 1950s, being the same age as Rex Manhire of Falmouth and David Thomas of Penzance (later of Falmouth).

Les Pearce I believe retired from refereeing in 1993/94. Bill Pearce is probably the best known Cornish referee from the era (1955-1973). Another referee who had his own style was Reverend Ken Trunks.

Went to Penwethers school with Dave Streat Phil Ryder and Chrissy Thomas, what a trio all very talented footballers and all good enough to  have turned professional. Unfortunately Phil is no longer with us Chris is in a care home, Streater is still with us but is not cutting hair any longer. Has to be one of the greatest Cornish league teams ever imo.

Surely Dave hair shorter not longer Ray?

Agree with you over the standing of this team.
