Been to Suttons ground a good few times. Moved from Bristol to Surrey in 1979 aged 14, and until old enough to drive I used to go and watch my local team Leatherhead play. So went to Suttons ground following Leatherhead. I also managed to get tickets for their FA cup win over Coventry.

Blimey...that reminded me. Just looked it up and Chris Kelly...”The Leatherhead Lip”....is now 72. Blimey doesn’t time fly......😧. See he played a season at Millwall. Then back to Leatherhead....

He was just before my time at Leatherhead. A cult hero with the fans having scored the winner at Brighton in the FA cup 3rd round and scored one to put Leatherhead 2-0 up at Leicester at half time in round 4 only to lose 3-2. He was always a regular in the club house on match days.
I remember going on one of 5 coaches to see Leatherhead lose 5-0 in the cup at Exeter and experienced one of the worst violence at an FA cup 3rd round qualifier at Dover.
