Alex Brown was a commanding centre-back with Hotpoint, Eye United (Peterborough Northern Star) and Perkins and went on to manage Eye United, Perkins, Deeping Sports and King’s Cliffe as well as leading Peterborough Sunday Morning League teams LT Athletic and Royal Oak.
Brown said: “This was such a hard thing to do. I’ve been so lucky to have played with so many talented players over the years.
“But I’ve also been very lucky to play against and manage so many players who could all feature in this squad.
“I decided to select a mixture from my time playing and managing in the Peterborough and District League.
“I have changed this squad so many times and could have easily compiled a squad of 40 players!
“I’m not going to insult anyone by naming subs for the team but I would have loved to put at least two players in every position.”

Left midfield: PAUL JOHNSON. “Every team needs a ‘Johnno!’ As skilful as any player I’ve seen, but he was so much more than that. He was the one who galvanised a changing room with his tomfoolery, but knew his times to get the game won. Lazy, frustrating, but a match winner.”

Striker: JAMES HORNER. “‘Growler’ is the most unselfish forward I played with and one of the toughest I played against. A presence on the park, but everything was done with no malice, something hard to achieve when the centre-half wants to clean you out. Great provider.”

Striker: ASHLEY FAVELL. “I’m unashamed to say that Ash is my favourite player. That irritating, the opposition could have called him ‘thrush’. Energetic, physical, skilful, good in the air, quick across the ground and could score from anywhere, and often did!”
