CORNISH FOOTBALL LEGENDS

The list will be never ending as it is very much based on opinions and memories. If you wish to have a name added, please email davedeacon@cornishsoccer.info, text or phone me on 07759 502408.

Clubs have now been added to the names, but I have purposely not included any professional clubs or either clubs where the player might have only made a handful of “guest” appearances.

I have had much appreciated help with the clubs added, however please check and let me know asap if there are omissions and corrections required. You will see in some places there are question marks!

Many thanks,
Dave Deacon
