Now a lot of us have been playing alongside Steve Rickerby for many years, & know what a talented player he is.
There's always a trick or two that he can do with the ball that you can honestly say that you've never seen before.
Don't take my word for it. Take it from Millwall.
This was a snippet posted on their forum about one of his skillspots on Saturday morning from someone called Danger Mouse:
"I was also pleased to be a part of it not only to help raise mney ut to witness the funiest thing i have seen at a football match for those not there here is a rough description....
Dulwich are defending the ball lops high into the air, the big centre half lines himself underneath and aims a volley to clear. he swings and instead of connecting witha sweet volley it hits him on top of the head"
What more can you say?
Over to you Steve...what exactly were you trying to do?

Thanks to them both, for taking the time, when not actually on the pitch themselves!

And a report from their perspective...

That's right, do not adjust your screens, but MO have recorded their first official 11 aside victory and as is always the way, you wait so long then give out a bit of a thrashing when it does happen. As said previously though, the real winners on the day were the Royal Marsden and at last check the collection stood at around £700, but I am led to believe that may increase.There will be an opportunity for people to donate when the article goes in the Southwark News next week. Anyway to the game, the lads went a goal down thanks to an own goal by captain Ellasandlilysdaddy, but he redeemed himself with the scores at 1-1 by making a brave block on the line!! The goals today were scored by: 3 from JF lion, 3 from Charlie (on his debut), 1 from our left back Billy (on his debut) a 40 yard stunner and one from the genius that is Dwall. Katie's elder brother Jamie became the youngest player to appear for MO aged just 12 and did score himself only for a very very dodgy linesman and referee decision to disallow the goal. All in all a big thank you to the whole squad:Mfc TelTel lionBaslionMitchamMilroarEllasdaddyTommyBilly CharlieWakey Wakey McCluelessJF LionLetsaveitRM1 LionDwallZakSloffBexOwainJamieI would also like to add, that I found the whole event quite emotional, especially the presentation of the KP Shield to the winning captain Ellasdaddy. It brought a tear to my eye and a lump to the throat, a brilliant cause and will hopefully become an annual event. I also got to meet young Katie, who, despite her illness, was a gorgeous young girl who seemed to be a really cheerful young lady, an inspiration to a lot of people, very brave young girl, and it was an absolute pleasure and an honor. Thank you to everyone that contributed in any way towards making today as worthwhile as it was. Our man of the match was Charlie, who duly passed his trophy onto young Jamie who probably deserved it in equal measure for his efforts when he came on.

The winner was....charidee!
Which is my way of saying that we got well stuffed at Burgess Park this morning!
It was:
Millwall-Online 8, "The Rabblers" 1!
But no complaints, they were simply a better team than us, as to be expected from a club that has nigh on ten thousand fans to pick from, whereas our 'selection pool' is four hundred, if we're lucky!
We'd never played them before, & the most important thing was that we raised a few quid for the Royal Marsden Hospital funds. I don't know how much the match generated in total, but our squad handed over all of our match days subs to the cause, with many donating more than the match fee, with some players handing in more to boost the appeal, including some who were not there in person, or just turned up to watch. We also received a very generous £30 donation from the Hampton & Richmond Borough supporters' team, which was extremely touching, and shows what the true, friendly spirit of the Internet footballing ethos is all about.
We'll let you know what are total tally up of money raised from us is, when Andy has tallied it up, and emailed the total to me in the week.
For those of you who are wondering...our goal was scored by 'Own Goal' & we actually took the lead, before going in 5-1 down at the break. We had nineteen players available on the day, & the squad rotated throughout the game. No doubt if we'd played out best XI available we'd have kept the score down slightly, but the score didn't really matter. It was all about enjoying the match, & having fun against new opponents. Raising a few pennies along the way. We achieved that, and look forward to playing Millwall Online again in the future.
Chris Tabrett has again promised one of his match reports, & as soon as I receive it I'll post it on here.
Back row, left to right: Phil Baker; Danny King; Chris Wheeler; Steve Rickerby; Mark Hutton; Paul Griffin; Chris Tabrett; Ian Wright; Shaun Dooley; James O'Shaughnessy; Jason Cobb.
Front row, left to right: Ferenc Morath; Lawrence Marsh; Andrew Tucker; Matt Hammond; Dawn Taylor; Matthew Virgo; Joel Virgo; Jack McInroy; Phil Doyle.
