My Dad "always" said that he was a founder father of "E17"[ Pop group . . . . .  as a joke ]
 

 
"West Am" as Alf Garnett famously commented.

 
As a school year-end July1959 "scholar" [ me + the other young footballers of Kenton/Wembley ] set up a football team named Wembley Stones.
 
[ Well we were all also avid supporters of WealdSTONE FC ]
Team colours? Claret and blue!
 

 
We also had a pal or 2 who set up / named their team "Giovanata" [ Juve? Blue&White ]

 
LIFETIME of "rivalry" followed :-D
The founding Capt of "Giovanata" moved ( 1990 ) to Devon followed by ( 35 years later ) the founding capt of "The Stones" [Me] .

 
Yup, we chat ( "do you remember when M. Tyler scored his only ever hat-trick past your defence?" Bearing in mind Stones beat Giovanats 13-2 previous week  )    .
 
Do you think that current teens will do that ( set up footballclubs ) , going forward?
 


Any Wembley Stones / Giovanata team football members still around?
