Feel free to call me crazy, weird, or just plain sad, but I've always wondered why on Eastenders, they haven't mentioned the local football team, Walford Town FC more.
When Eastenders started, Arthur Fowler seemed to be the only fan, wearing his blue and white scarf, and selling scratchcard tickets for the club. He mentioned the "Wallys" and I believe that they were in the old Division Four at the time (1985).
When he was committed into a mental hospital, his daughter Michelle would let him know how his club were getting on.
Aiden Maguire was later in Eastenders, who was supposed to be a new player to the club, but then nothing else was really mentioned about the local club and they seemed to fizzle out of Eastenders entirely.
So, I thought, with the help of Football Manager 2018 (FM18), where you can choose to name a club and play it on FM18 as manager, that I would set up Walford Town FC from scratch.
I have made a Youtube channel called Walford Town FC where highlights will be able to be shown, and a blog where I plan to write (copy from FM18!!)) the match reports from every match.
The lowest league I can start in will be the National League South, so that is where I will start.
I have also made up some history of this fantasy football club...yes I do have more time on my hands that I should have!!
Who knows, if it kicks off, maybe I will even do a match programme...now that really would be sad wouldn't it!!!
