Hello

I'm trying to get hold of the Boston Town v United programme of July 14th 2004 (Town's 40th anniversary). Has anyone got a spare copy I could buy?

Cheers

The B-Ark / United People

« on: April 06, 2018, 01:44:29 PM »

A new book is out now - 'United People. Boston United Players' Stories'.

The book contains interviews with former Boston United players by pupils at St Thomas' CE School (during 1989 and 1990). Those interviewed included Keith Alexander, Gordon Bolland, Don Donovan, Jimmy Fell, Reg Harrison, Eric Houghton, Arthur Mann, Steve Thompson (the ex-Lincoln City and Charlton one) and Matt Tees.

Me (Doug Lowe) and my son (James) have now edited these interviews and added a wealth of information and graphics.

The B-Ark / History of football in Boston

« on: February 21, 2018, 01:32:56 PM »

Has anyone written a history of football in Boston, especially covering the pre United days?

The reason I ask is because I've come across a player called Bill Julian who played at the Lord Nelson Field in the 1890s against Royal Arsenal (yes, THAT Arsenal), who signed him a few days later and he became their captain. Bill played for a team called Boston Excelsior.

I know there were other teams in the 19th and early 20th centuries before Boston Town, including Boston Swifts, but no nothing about them either. Talking of Boston Town, I have a team photo from the 1920s, that may include a player called Jack Doran, who had previously had a good career, including playing for Manchester City and Ireland.

The B-Ark / Third team

Have United ever had a third team at some point i.e. as well as a first team and reserve team, and, if so, when and what league(s) were they in?
