About Chris

Centre Forward/Midfield.

Originally a “fox in the box” style striker who spent four seasons at Hayes and then one split between Harrow Town and Maidenhead United before joining Slough in summer 1966. Striker, goalscorer and penalty "King".

He was a first team regular and prolific goalscorer for two seasons. Top scorer in his first season with the club with 19 goals. Eventually lost his first team place to Roger Connell and moved on to Walton & Hersham, where Allen Batsford utilised his abundant ball skills in a midfield role. A tremendous shot in both feet, there is nothing more thrilling at the Dolphin than to see him hit the ball from the edge of the penalty area and the ball flash just inside the upright. 5ft. 9.5 ins. tall and 10.5 stone, Chris was born in Harmondsworth and lived in Hayes. After leaving school he played for Brentford Juniors and at 17 joined Hayes where lie stayed for 4 seasons. He then went to Maidenhead for one season before joining Slough.

After a brief return to Maidenhead United, he later played for both Hayes and Southall. Chris was a Company Accountant with a large Bakery Firm. Like all the rest of the lads, football takes up a great deal of his spare time, but when the opportunity arises he likes nothing better than a "good long; walk along the river enjoying the peace and quiet of it all". Although never really keen to be a "pro," had he have been, it would have been Arsenal.
