What the Lundon Williams Trophy means to me - Mick Wickham Jnr

I’ve tried my best in the past to stay away from any writings to do with the tournament! On twitter I’m limited to what I can write which is perfect for me because usually when I start I can’t stop! For me this tournament is everything. I was never the greatest player of football, at least not at the heights that a lot of the players we’ll see on the day reached anyway. I was lucky though that my hero, my dad, was good enough and when he thought his journey was over, along came the Old Xavs looking for a keeper! I watched him roll back the years and enjoy his Saturdays between the sticks, up until a collision with a young Quarry Bank striker seen him break his leg and kneecap. Fast forward, he then became Billy Birch’s assistant with the first team, and when Billy moved on he stayed with Ben Williams as his assistant. I always joked that Ben was the son my dad never had. Haha. Ben lost his dad early so I was always glad he had my dad around him to offer advice when needed. That also me...

Meet Michael Lundon

  Michael is one of the city’s most successful amateur footballers after many years playing Saturday and Sunday and winning every trophy there is to win, multiple times. Being part of a true football family, there was never a doubt that he would turn into a local football legend. Michael played for many teams but there were two clubs where he spent most of his footballing years... Waterloo Dock and The Seymour. These clubs meant the world to Michael and he meant the world to everyone involved in both clubs. Michael was a centre half for the majority of his career and was one of the very best in the city.

Michael was another great leader. He led by example and always drove his team to win. He was the first person to back up his team mates if it got a bit tasty but if you didn't put in the effort during th...

Why The Lundon Williams Trophy Is So Important - by Tony Denson

Right, I’m not the greatest with this sort of stuff but after seeing what the other lads have written, I felt that I needed to give it a go. I’m fine talking on Luno’s behalf but writing is a different matter. Anyway, here we go This tournament was the brain child of Mick Wickham jnr, and when it was first put to me it was supposed to be a load of teams in a big tournament. Sounded like a great idea but we had tried to do a tournament before and it was hard work. Not long after Michaels initial diagnosis, myself and John Bruns pulled together a 5 a-side tournament and it was a great success. However, we had teams dropping out on the day and not getting enough players, which wasn’t ideal, especially for a 5 a-side. After a few back and fourths, with Si grant and others, the idea of having the 4 teams, 2 semis and a final was settled on. Since that discussion it has just exploded, bigger than any of us could ever imagine. The way the amateur footballers (and a few ex pros) have embraced ...
