1983-84
Season
Season 83-84 was our 5th season in the London Spartan League Premier Division and was a campaign that promised so much. Ex Spurs Player Dennis Bond was the Manager. Having led the division early on and staying top teams with games in hand caught us up and we eventually finished in 5th position, 10 points behind winners Collier Row. It was 2 points for a win in those days.
