Quote from: admin on September 17, 2026, 02:52:29 PMAs for Lynn owning houses - they had a house in Valingers Road but also one in Hunstanton. The was one occasion where they had difficulty persuading a player to move out after he had left the club.

Bobby Laverick lived in a house in Vancouver Avenue ( from the Southgates Roundabout about halfway down on the left hand side ) and Malcolm Lindsay lived in a detached house in York Road.

Just read an article on the BBC website stating that Tony Godden has died at the age of 70.

I recall Tony being Kings Lynn manager during the mid 1990s, taking over from John Gidman.

R.I.P Tony. Sincere condolences to Tony`s family and friends.

Thought I would place a post letting supporters of KLFC know that sadly Tony Chilleystone has passed away.

Although I was only very young at the time I do remember Tony playing for Kings Lynn. Tony signed for Kings Lynn as a 20 year old in 1959. I believe he stayed until the late 1960s as he is listed as being Downham Market FC manager from 1969 to 1972.

Anyone remember a tall striker called Whittacker he signed whilst Lynn manager, allegedly looked good whilst warming up on the opposition bench!

Just been released.

John Whitney played about five games for Lynn back in the 2001-2002 season. A very accomplished central defender as I recall but I vaguely remember a serious knee injury accounting for his brief stay with Lynn.

Now in charge of Walsall
