Funniest thing seen with Newton Utd:
One of our ex managers went to get the ball when it was kicked into touch and cocked his leg over a fence, the trouble was it was an electric fence and he got a shock between the legs
Most memorable match played in: Newton United 2 v 1 Newton Spurs res Greenaway cup final 1978
Worst Moment connected with football: Playing at Beesands on the day Mike Mudge broke his leg in terrible conditions. Getting Jason Byrnes fixed up with Torquay United and seeing him chuck the chance away. Costing the reserves a cup final place a few years ago by not being aware of some stupid rule. There have been so many disappointments over the years I could go on and on.

Worst away ground: Malborough, King George v and Steppes Cross take your pick
