SEPTEMBER 26th 2021: Belmont Banter Episode 80 GARY LOCKYER: Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.Gary Lockyer. Like most young lads Gary started playing with football with his mates, at the age of nine one of his friends invited him along to Kennington Juniors (Near Ashford) which was local to Gary. He Stayed with them until U13. During this period, he played in the Kent Youth sides all through his junior career. After leaving Kennington he joined Gravesend and Northfleet (Now Ebbsfleet) Whilst trying to find his feet in football he went to a soccer school game and was spotted by Jimmy Ward who was manager of Ramsgate at the time, He stayed nearly two years but found the level a bit too much for him as he was still in his early teens. As part of his development Jim Ward sent on loan to a couple of Kent clubs before, plus he had trials at Charlton and Aldershot, he later concedes that if he had the right attitude back then things could have been different. He had a very successful five-year spell at Lydd FC, before re-joining his boyhood club Kennington FC where he is to this day, after back to back promotions with Kennington FC reaching the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division. Check it out; even if you’re not involved in WTFC it’s another great listen from Belmont Banter Podcast.
