MAIDENHEAD UTD

This has nothing to do with Gees but I felt it may be of interest.

Well this is a bit unusual. Vanarama National League side Maidenhead United have moved their fixture with Havant & Waterlooville back three days due to international call ups.

Three players, James Comley, Adrian Clifton and Dean Mason have been called up to the Montserrat side to play in a CONCACAF Nations League fixture away to the Cayman Islands on Friday 22nd March.

The Magpies were due to host Havant on Saturday 23rd March but that fixture will now take place three days later on Tuesday evening.

The trio have played in all three of Montserrat’s Nations League fixtures so far including a 2-1 defeat at home to El Salvador, a 1-0 win at home to Belize and a 2-0 win in Aruba.

Mason has eight Montserrat caps according to WorldFootball.net, Comley has five and Clifton four.

Not bad for a non league outfit and this is the second occasion this season.

Didn't we have an international who played for some country that only appears at low tides?

Wasn't that for the concrete block which doesn't have enough room for a pitch, let alone followers somewhere in the Thames Estuary off the Essex coastline!

Didn't they play 2 games and the novelty disappeared?

I cannot remember who that player might have been (goalkeeper?)

That was Sealand who played Chagos at Weycourt back in May 2012. I remember the game because my hand was bandaged after breaking a knuckle punching the low roof of the stand behind the goal at Bognor after we equalised during THAT game.
The 'international' who played for us had a pony tail and ineffectively ran up and down the left wing. I think he had some connection to the Bahamas ...maybe he played for one of their top teams, the imaginatively named 'Insurance Management Bears FC’ (lots more nonsense about team names in this week's Twenty Yard Screamer).
