From Signing schoolboy forms at Southampton and Bournemouth then being unable to obtain a YTS after numerous trials. This lead me to Morecambe where i joined the acadamy and went onto the first team. The book includes the many clubs ive played for to the present 07/08 Season.<br> The book is called Zico: An Autobiography of a Non-League Footballer which is available at: www.authorhouse.co.uk/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~49598.aspx<br> As Non-League supporters I hope you will enjoy the many different stories and my journey in the Non-league. I feel that my Autobiography is unique as it is told from the not so glamorous side of the beautiful game. <br>Thanks Zico<br> <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2706777 Tue, 13 May 2008 20:23:59 GMT zico http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2690182 We would like to thank everyone in the Non League World for a great season.<br><br>The Non League Vidiprinter will be back next season, bigger and better..<br><br>In the mean time we are working hard promoting Non League Football with the only news service of its kind. <br><br>The latest news in BBC style 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<br><br>www.nonleaguefootballlive.com <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2690182 Tue, 06 May 2008 18:18:00 GMT NLProject http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2647538 on the official site dont the person doing the reports know which way the scores go i checked on the site for the Bath result and saw the score as 1-3 now i have seen a few games in my time but never seen the home side win 1-3 later when i read the report on the bath site i has a bit pissed off to see we lost 3-1. <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2647538 Thur, 17 Apr 2008 16:29:32 GMT kevin http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2617979 Eastbourne fan here, coming to the game by train tomorrow, can anyone give me directions from Chafford Hundred station please.

We picked it up as we watched him play, (and behave on a couple of occasions).

According to the Bath City forum "Thurrock were a nasty spiteful side". <br>The truth however is that our kids refused to be bullied by an older aggressive and cynical side who also took every opportunity to intimidate the referee.<br>Unfortunately some of the youngsters are still naive. As an example while waiting for a freekick to be taken one of their players grabbed Swaine's balls and ran past him, Swaine instinctively swung a boot and was red-carded. The instigator was unseen and unpunished. "Thurrock nasty and spiteful"? I think not, but in my opinion Bath City are easily the most unpleasant and repulsive team to have visited Ship Lane for many a year. <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2470919 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:43:36 GMT BJ http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2444823 Can someone please inform me if you have team and if would play us in March.<br><br>please contact me on matt_barrett@tiscali.co.uk <br><br>many thanks <br><br>Matt <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2444823 Thur, 24 Jan 2008 18:16:19 GMT mattdtfc http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2444355 Crumbs Chief<br><br>Having left DM to fight Greenback on his own for the week.

(take note Mr Ben)We need some old heads out there not teenagers and the funny thing was Bromley were'nt that good. <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2386840 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 06:27:44 GMT DEN http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2374096 On the 21st of August 1993 I watched my third Purfleet game, this was to be the start of my unbroken run of game which culminated with St Albans away last Saturday 828 games with out missing any (Norman is bound to tell me that I have got that wrong).<br><br>There where some games that were touch and go, when sickness played a part or when I had to rush from Basildon Hospital to Hitchin after Matthew was born or during the fuel crisis in 2000 when I stopped my wife visiting her mum in Crawley so I would have enough Petrol in her car to see us play Uxbridge away in the Ryman League cup, but I did make them all.<br><br>Well I have now decided, through a combination of guilt, lack of enjoyment and having lost touch with my club to actually give something back to my kids and take them away for Christmas.<br><br>I will defiantly miss the next 3 games then I will see how I feel when I come back will I have missed going to Purfleet or will it be a liberating experience? I honestly dont know.<br><br>The love has died for my football club, it used to really hurt when we lost to the point of not talking to people and generally being really fcked off until the next game (Clarky, Chappo, Mick, Steve, Tit, Dennis you will all have experienced it as well as my family) now it is just a dull throb, nothing more.<br><br>A large part died when we changed our name Thurrock? No one lives in Thurrock we all live in Aveley or South Ockendon or Purfleet or Chadwell or Chafford no one lives in Thurrock.<br><br>Then the final nail in the coffin, sacking Colin McBride in such a piss awful way this man played 234 games for Purfleet and then managed us for over 500. He is a legend for Purfleet in everyway. Yes he wasnt everyones cup of tea but he was a clubman and we should have let him go with some dignity.<br><br>Then there is the way we play now loads of kids running around lacking any real spirit. Dont get me wrong we are now a much better side than last year and even the beginning of this season but we just dont seem to really have any bollocks about us. We do have some good players now, I like the two 2 centre halves and Lincoln has impressed much as Bryant has up front and Flynny and Groward for the old uns.<br><br>We had a 'fans forum' at the beginning of the season, which everyone found really good except the supporters! We agreed that day that we need to increase the fan base and, fair enough, we did a free game, has this been followed up? We also said that people want information regarding the club the new website in July had 15 news items, August 45, September 37, October 17, November 11, December 2, Prizes for anyone who can spot a trend. <br><br>Apparently we have been decimated but injuries over the past month or so and we have been told absolutely nothing and they wonder why we get fcked off!<br><br>Good luck to the team, and for once your wont have me moaning at you! <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2374096 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:12:57 GMT DangerMouse http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2326966 Will your Management Team being sending a strong team down to our place on Monday in the Essex Senior Cup? <p>Forum: <a href="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/purfleet?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/purfleet/vpost?id=2326966 Thur, 29 Nov 2007 19:23:45 GMT peterfoster
