WATN - Eric Burgess

Post by garyhcricket »

Hi Torquay fans.....anyone with a long memory may remember Eric Burgess, a defender in the late 60's. I'm keen to track him down so if anyone reading this knows where he is these days, I'm looking to add his autograph to my collection, so any information welcome.
Cheers

Yes - Eric Burgess played for us in the mid/late sixties and was a damn good fullback. I seem to remember he was also a useful cricketer and played for Babbacombe but not 100% sure on that. He joined Plymouth after leaving Plainmoor and then moved on to Colchester and according to wiki, finished his footballing career in Wealdstone. I haven't heard that he moved back to this area. So really, this is as much use as a eunoch in a brothel !! Hope you get a lead from somewhere.

You could try the local Wealdstone club and newspaper for information, and even advertise for info, assuming he's still alive! Here's his Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Burgess_(footballer)
