England, Mike Mike was an immensely popular Seattle Sounder and anchored one of the first US professional soccer teams, which today continues as one of the premier soccer teams in the United States having won the championship in the last several years. I also played and coached soccer, including as coach for his two sons. That youth soccer team also won the championship in the City of Seattle (WA). That team the Capitol Hill Cougars has its 50th reunion coming up in July 2022. It would be nice if Darren (and Mike) came to the reunion in Seattle, or at least reached out to let us know how they are doing. Congratulations to Mike for his exceptional career, it could not have happened to a nicer gentlemen and true professional soccer player and coach. whom I have always admired in my own soccer career.

England, Mike I played for the campers’ team against the camp staff at Prestatyn Holiday Camp in 1959 (I think). We lost 7-0. I played centre forward. The opposing centre half played me off the pitch. I hardly touched the ball. The next day I found him in a wooden hut handing out putting irons and golf balls on the putting course. I asked him who he played for and he replied “Blackburn Rovers”. I saw him a year or two later as he got out of the Tottenham coach at Old Trafford.

England, Mike My name is now Sandra Bolton but when I first met Mike I was Sandra Shaw. I was a hairdresser in Blackburn at Geoffrey Rowlands and worked with Gwen Sowrey (Mikes first wife). In fact my husband and I used to babysit for them. Many happy memories.

England, Mike I used to watch Mike England play at Spurs and what a Centre Half he was, he won everything in the air was as hard as nails and a class act to boot. Great memories from the big man.

England, Mike Mike was treated for a injured ankle by my father Bobby Mcgregor at our home in Belfast. He’s also played football with the kids in the street. I remember he went with my dad, who was physio for Glentoran, to watch a Irish league game. It was announced over the ground that Mike Wales who plays for England was at the match - much to the amusement of the spectators. To add insult to injury, Mike sat on a nail and ripped his trousers!
