We've had this thread some years ago so this is a short repeat of my contribution from then.

In Minorca in the late 70's with my first missus and, as you do, got friendly on the beach with with two families of similar ages (all with kids). Wasn't long before a ball was produced and we began a kick-around. It took a while but they seemed familiar and when we got talking I realised the guys were Steve Kember and Alan Birchenall who were both at (or recently left) Leicester together. We met up on the beach several times that holiday and they were great company and super friendly.

Before writing this post I looked them up on Wiki and am glad to say they are both still alive and, evidently, enjoying their golden years. Kember is 74 and Chief Scout at Crystal Palace whilst Birchenall is 78 and match day ambassador with Leicester City.
