Saw the news about Mike dent. I don't think I met him as was in the game a few years before than dave Roberts Ron Russ John maison Terry Edge were my contemporaries. Evenings in a pub in Leyton I remember with Ron. Travelling to Germany with their club to watch the world cup and play a team game . All the work that John and Brian Fenner put into starting and running the English table soccer association. Wonderful days with the Barking club nearly forty plsyers would turn up on a weekday night to play. Great times glad the game is flourishing

Mike played for Surrey back in the 1970's and I played for Kent. Mike had a great rivalry with John Cordell, who was Kent's star player. Mike and John vied to be England's number one and all of their matches were close. I saw John's son Kevin at Subbuteo Masters and spoke with him about his dad and Mike.
