FORMER players are launching a book which shares the history of the Sunday Leagues Queens Head Football Club in Bexhill.
Back in the 60s and 70s, Pub Sunday League sides were thriving in the town and surrounding areas.
However, with the decline in the number of pubs over the years, this has seen the end of most teams.
At its peak, there was The Turkey (now Rose and Crown), The New Inn, The Pelham, The Wheatsheaf, The Bull Inn, and the Queens Head in Belle Hill which is now King Offa Way.
Now long gone, the pub was alive at weekends and at 10 am on Sunday the Queens Head team would be either on the Down pitch or playing around the Hastings area.
Former Queens Head FC players Barrie Crowhurst and Leon (Lenny) Coast have been working on a book and will be launched at The Sportsman Pub in Sackville Road, Bexhill, which has the original bar from the old Queens Head in situ.
All former players are welcome and any old Queens Head regulars are invited to the pub for the launch to celebrate and remember the history of the football club, its players and the impact it had on the town.
The book launch is on Wednesday, May 29 starting at 2.30pm. Contact Barrie barrie@custard-design.co.uk or 07359 386 059.
