Some fault may be laid at their doors, but I think the main problem lies in the non competitive nature of sports(all winners no losers), the general attitude of a generation or two to sport (where do I plug it in ?). The touchy feely & fear of compensation/responsibility if someone gets hurt & the lack of dedicated sports teachers.

As youngsters we had organised Sat&Sun league football from under 11's upto under 16's,(Run by parents & Uncles) Organised & competitive sport in School (Footy/Cricket & the Girls had netball & rounders, swimming etc) against other Schools in the region. In fact one of our Sports teachers played for Altrincham FC & blagged tickets for a pile of us in their FA Cup run which they lost out to Spurs in the 78-79 season I believe.

DAVISON, John: Club captain and also skipper of the England Semi-Pro team for whom he has a record 21 caps. He holds Aitrincham’s individual appearance record having passed 650 in February, and was a member of the previous two Wembley sides. He came to the club in 1972 from Burnley and had a short spell with Bangor City four years later. Aged 33, with a cultured left foot, he is a schoolteacher.
