"JOHN RICHARD LAWSON"

A review of Dringhouses Sports Club by JOAN CROFT written on Monday 12th of April 2010

FROM HOB MOOR TO ST.HELENS ROAD, JOHN MR DRINGHOUSES FOOTBALL CLUB LAWSON TRANSFORMED THE CLUB FROM A TEAM PLAYING ON A COW CLAPPED PITCH TO THE PRESENT PITCH ON ST HELENS ROAD.HE WAS SECRETARY / TREASURER,AND MAIN FUND RAISER BY RUNNING THE SCOUTS DOUBLE AND EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT COLLECTING THE CLUBS 100 CLUB, HE TRAVELLED TO OVER A 100 HOMES ON A FRIDAY NIGHT ON HIS BIKE COLLECTING THIS MONEY. WITHOUT THIS LEGEND THE CLUB WOULD HAVE NEVER MOVED TO ST HELEN'S ROAD.IN THE LAST FEW YEARS THE CLUB HAVE WON A FEW LEAGUE TITLES AND CUPS,WITHOUT THIS GREAT BLOKE THE CLUB COULD HAVE FOLDED LIKE CLIFTONVILLE WHO ONLY PLAY ON A STRAY PITCH. TIMES HAVE CHANGED BUT LEGENDS STILL LIVE ON.

A DRINGHOUSES FOOTBALL CLUB POSTCARD NOW AS BEEN CREATED TO HONOUR THIS GREAT BLOKE. .
