Makes the 6-1 to Liverpool seem tiny

Nova player Lewis Parker, aged 60 (hmmm, could be a clue to some of the problems), said: “A lot of the players didn’t turn up so we expected to lose but not by that much.”

when i was a lot younger and played for a sunday team, we lost 23-1 once..

 

[gazingdown]

I remember joining a team when I was in my mid-teens. They used to lose in double figures most games

Then one day I said I'd have a go in goal (which I did sometimes at school) and we managed to get the losses into single figures (just!) and they hailed me as the best keeper they'd had in years, meanwhile I was gutted because we'd let in so many. We were complete rubbish to be fair but all good fun.

What's the biggest win/defeat NSCers have been involved in then, with your pub, school or Sunday league sides?

I seem to recall beating opponents 19-1 once. They scored first and I (in goal) remember thinking it was going to be one of those days. However, it became apparent that the girl who scored their goal seemed to be the only player who knew how to kick a ball: she went on to play for the Albion ladies for many years. She still might do for all I know.

Can't remember what the biggest beating we took was. Am pretty sure I conceded 12 in a game once. I think I got man of the match as it would probably have been 25 without my fabulous array of top drawer saves

(is there such a thing as a bottom drawer save?)

I played for a Sunday Club back in the 80's (KTM FC) and the Crescent (pub near 7 dials) wanted to get in to the league and had to play a few friendlies first. We played them and won 24-0. I scored 10. All I remember is their keeper was called Tex and I kept apologising to him.

We played them in a return match as well and they improved to 14-0. And they made it in to the league.

 

[BrickTamland]

A couple of years ago we beat a team 16-0 home and away

 

[Ali_rrr]

I lost 36-0, I didn't play as I got a cramp just before the warm up, this was under 9's though...

 

[Gary Gurr]

Different game i know, but I once played Rugby against a team called St Francis (can't remember where they were from) but we won 110-0

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I was on the end of a 13-0 defeat for my school 4th XI (in goal). The opponents 1st XI had their game postponed, so threw in loads of ringers for match practice. I was given man of the match by the referee - I'm not sure whether out of pity, guilt or mmmmmadness.

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

We once won 27-0 against Langton green in a 15 minute each way game.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I once conceded 26 goals as a keeper against Bexhill under 16's (we were 14).

We didn't score any goals.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

I played in a team that was 7-0 down at half time. We won 8-7

 

[Badger]

When I was 10 I played for a team that lost every single game in a season, I think our biggest defeat was 17-1 and there were a couple of 15-0 too.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Played for a team while in my teens who would lose by at least 15 goals every week. To be fair we only had 8 players and no coaching.
I would normally play in goal, but the 2 games we lost 33-0, I played outfield.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

I played in a team that was 7-0 down at half time. We won 8-7

Please tell me you went mental at the eighth goal?

 

[gully is my god]

At 50-0 they'd had enough but the referee told them they must carry on playing or they would risk being fined

That's mean, surley 50-0 is enough?

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Not personally, but a mate I know played for Dulwich supporters against Kilmarnock supporters in a friendly, and I think at 15-0 with ten minutes remaining they stopped and went to the pub early!

This thread reminded me of a charming little article I read a while ago.

Referees are often depicted as a cold and heartless bunch, but Brian Savill could never be called that.

Savill proved he was all heart when he felt so sorry for a team losing 18-1 in a cup tie that he scored a goal for them.

It was during the Great Bromley Cup first-round tie near Colchester in Essex, that Savill decided to take the law into his own hands, or even feet.

With 10 minutes to go, the 47-year-old slotted home a volley to try to ease the struggling fortunes of Wimpole 2000.

"The ball came over from a corner, the Wimpole forward headed it and it came to me," Savill told BBC Radio Five Live.


"I chested it down, or armed it down, and the ball bounced up and I just volleyed it into the net. I was a defender when I used to play and rarely scored a goal. This one, I hit it as sweet as a nut"

Despite Savill's best efforts, it was not to be Wimpole's day. The scoreline ended up 20-2 to Earls Colne Reserves.

Even now, the referee claims his actions were not pre-planned.

"I don't know why I did it. It was just an impulse," added Savill, a Royal Mail manager.

"I roared up the field cheering, and got to the halfway line with 25-30 people watching, half of them staring in bewilderment and the other half clapping and laughing."

Savill said that one of the Earls Colne players even shook his hand and congratulated him afterwards.

But what else could they do as Savill was the referee?

He even admitted that he "armed" the ball down before taking his shot, but clearly did not penalise himself.

In the end though, it was all taken in the right way by the opposing side.

"It was absolutely wonderful and the game was played in the right spirit," said Earls Colne president Barry Mortimer.

Wimpole's coach was so impressed that he asked Savill to play the next week, having become the team's joint leading goalscorer.

It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase: "The ref is taking sides."
