Belmont Banter Episode 56 DOUGIE BOSSON The Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.
Dougie was both a player and a manager for Whitstable Town and like a lot of players at that time his career started at Snowdown which was one on the top clubs in the ‘Old Kent League’. He tells of many great players from all over the country who through work at the Mines ended up at Alyesham and played for Snowdown. Dougie says that Snowdown had some tough hard players which is where he learnt to look after himself at a time when ref’s turned a blind eye to some really rough tackles.
He joined Canterbury City who were in the old Southern League and at the time one of, if not the top clubs in Kent. After arriving home at 3am from a long away trip in the Southern League he was confronted by his wife who demanded “it was football or me.” So that was Dough finished at Canterbury and off back to Snowdown again. He then joined Whitstable as a player, then back to Snowdown again before returning to manage Whitstable Town. Dougie tells some great stories of his time in local football, reminiscing about all the great players he played with and managed, he mentions John Newman and Alan Shilling as two of Whitstable’s best.
