I have said it many a time on social media but Ryan Parson’s is my favourite player ever. Class on the pitch and a gentleman off the pitch.
The best player to have played for Windsor & Eton, take your pick between Kevin Mitchell & Chris Yates. Mitch was the best keeper in non-league football for many years, and Yatesy what a player. Geoff Chapple with all his successes in management at Woking and Kingstonian lists him in the top 3 players he’s managed. There’s a reason Harry Redknapp was so desperate to sign up!
In terms of the ever Windsor born and bred, that’s an easy one, Peter Osgood. Why WEFC didn’t sign him up when he so desperately wanted to play for I’ll never know. Weeks later he signed for Chelsea and the rest was history!!
