THE TRICKSTERS 🖤💛 2020-2025
You’ve probably heard it on the grapevine. But It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the final days of Boldon Colliery have past. as we have resigned and folded from the Sunderland Sunday League.
5 years together, here’s a bit background. Dan Crooks took the reigns from a struggling (financially depleted 😉) division 4 side in its first season and formed us into a title challenging side in his first full season, going onto win back to back league titles in division 2 and division 1, aswell as winning 6-0 against ever present rivals, Penshaw in the final of the Billy Pemberton cup. 🏆🏆🏆 We had some good moments in our first season in the prem beating some very good teams and giving the best some very good closely contested games, we did have our struggles after Dan left, Deej and Alan took the reigns and pulled us together and got us through ending it on a high with some mint results finishing 4th. Unfortunately this season one thing has lead to another and we have over the weekend had some big departures which has ultimately lead to the decision of ending things here.
Some of the best moments of the lads’ football lives happened over the last 4 years and will live on with us forever. From the 6-0 Billy pem cup final, to Shay Robinson’s over head kick own goal from our corner flag against penshaw in the “title decider”. He actually scored another unbelievable own goal against myers last week, chipping Joe from 25 yards out top corner, that being our last ever “home” goal conceded/scored. Get in shay.
We’ll keep going… from Wadeys Hey-Howayssss, to Fins yellow card “check ya mirrors” and “hows about that then”s, from binkys match reports and social media (he’s on the missing list now) to Colliery’s Velvet Stride YouTube era 😂, Alan’s putrid smelling arse on the sideline or Micks Beetroot rampage, Aye mick? Sound mick, cheers mick. And I wonder, did Lee ever get his DEEP HEAT?!!
More?… Deejs alarm not going off so we had no nets, his missed headers he called for or just catching the ball so the oppostion couldn’t counter us Hahahhah. Robbos Nicki Minaj fat ass (mmm). Niall’s curtains and unihead headband to Holman’s, got any…. 👀 (Airdrop). Brens nighthawk none sleep eyes and fu***ng ridiculous long throws and Peters relentless 20p tipped losing horse tips.
Crooks’ 32 red cards and excruciatingly high blood pressure, and gout at age 25. Hell never ever change that boy. Next time you see him ask him about the grand old question regarding fingers. He’ll know what you mean.
Adam Miller letting us pay for his shift to call in sick to work so he’ll stay out all day after county cup, only for him to YT all owa (see pic below) and be in bed an hour before his shift was meant to start…. At 2pm… 😂😂😂
Holman going to YT at half time without telling anyone so we had no keeper when we kicked off, Gregg had to fly in with no gloves or shin pads on 😂😂 Holman losing on the final day of FPL so had to do tik tok dances (did 1 on presentation night no more, still waiting Holman!)
Brindle saying his da bought 5 liters of curry for his tea 😂😂 Scottys John Fury Palm Angels tracksuit 2 sizes too small, COME OUTSIDE. Shay being temporarily homeless cause he Thouht it was a great idea to spend his whole lives savings on a Nissans Silvia for a “weekend car”. Matte Harrison 🎨. Pete been to the darts with the lads, giving the chat a rendition of green light at 3am when he got in, his lass shouting at him telling him to S**U, GOAT video 😂.
P getting a hold of the club card on team night out, and spending the whole club fund on st*****rs. Shock 🐀. Jolas’ dusty bow and arrow, blanking for 6 games then scoring 15 in 3 to be top scorer. In true jolas style. Yegors many many dum dum moments missing from 2 yards out, putting in the worst performance to man at CB but then scoring last minute equaliser in the county cup and self proclaiming himself as MOTM after we won on pens 😂
P not playing in county cup cause he found “love of life” on tinder and was in Glasgow for night putting this lasses bairn to kip so he could hit. Robbie coming home from night out acting as if woody from Toy Story just shouted Andys coming in middle of sitting room (see pic) 😂
That pre season game last year in seaham where Alan Crooks wound up for a shot whilst warming up, then got took out by the jackal sniped from 80 yards away, 7.7 on Richter scale, Kebab leg and he couldn’t get back up. Shot went bottom corner though never lose it Al😂😂😂😂
Oh and did Did Deej ever tell yas about his free kick? (It’s on YouTube, devastating grandkids will think he’s Juninho)
Gippas Zidane-Esque left foot volley against victory club will go down as the clubs greatest ever goal possibly that divisions🍷
We could be here all day but as you can see, We’ve had moments of magic and many many good times as a group, leading us to this moment now. Nothing lasts forever but our time together will. Love each and every one of you who have come to watch or play aswell as all the class nights out we’ve had. This one’s for you, love yas all. 💛🖤
One last time for all the ones that despised this….
