OLD SALVATORIANS FC
FOUNDED 1953
Old Salvatorians F C
Who are we?
Formed in 1953, Old Salvatorians is one of the largest clubs in the Amateur Football Combination, itself one of the biggest football leagues in the world with around 300 teams competing each Saturday. Originally formed only for past pupils and teachers of the Salvatorian College, with which the club still has close links, the club is now "open" and welcomes players who want to enjoy their football, be as good as they can and develop life long friendships.
Our philosophy is based on combining football and friendship. For over sixty years, the club has nurtured this and retains the old boys spirit of playing hard but fair, then enjoying the craic afterwards. Whether an existing or prospective player, past member, opponent, referee, other official or spectator, we welcome and invite you to enjoy our hospitality this season.
Home ground is The Metropolitan Sports & Social Club (formerly Metropolitan Police Sports Club), Aldenham Rd, Bushey, Hertfordshire WD23 2TR

Colin Conboy - RIP
The club is saddened to hear of the passing of one of its past players and most colourful characters this week. Colin had been unwell for a short while but appeared to be making progress before a sudden decline.
A past pupil of Salvatorian College (1971-78), Colin graduated from Liverpool University before starting his work career at County Hall. He then specialised in Health and Safety / housing for the remainder of his working life also providing his expertise to St. Bede's parish council, where he and his family were regular parishioners near their home in Croxley Green.
Colin played for the club in the 80's and 90's and was one of the early adopters of walking football. He will be remembered for his humour, dress sense (including those football boots) and unusual travel arrangements for football tours. He was also a staunch Spurs supporter. One of life's good 'uns, he will be greatly missed by his many Salvo friends.
The club sends its condolences to his wife Betty and their three daughters, Ida, Catrina and Serafina.
Colin's funeral was very well attended by his family and friends from Old Salvos, work and his parish of St. Bede's Croxley Green. Many stories of Colin's good work, dry and quirky sense of humour and friendship were shared.
