Martyn KIng
Was Colchester 's all time record goalscorer and held record for number of hat tricks for them... Think he may have been centre forward in 65/66 when we finished bottom of division 4.... |

Re: Martyn KIng
That's a co-incidence! You are right about the location, it was part of the mental hospital grounds. My tennis career took me from Norman Road to Llanerch TC in Rhos/Ponciau via a short spell at Garden Village.

I did play football once at the Denbigh Hospital ground which was down a lane below the castle. I think The Mental hospital team played in one of the coast based Welsh leagues. |

Found my spiritual home back in Jackoland. Not great at Doubles but , recognising my physical limitations ....short , skinny , not powerful , wearing glasses , realised my game relied on a determined Singles tactical , intelligent , grounded , speed and stamina outlook. Took Don Budge' s ( first man to complete the Grand Slam ) autobiography as my inspiration . First game at Rhos was against reigning champion Bev Thomas , brother of Lib MP later Lord Thomas. Beat him in three sets. Went on to win Llanerch Men's Singles title that year and for the next 5 years. Six years Champion .......Happy Days !!!!

Re: Martyn KIng
Watched Martyn King play in the Cheshire League for Wrexham and I think he must have been a confidence player because he did not have a great game. Good ball control but missed several good chances.
I played at Denbigh Hospital for Prestatyn Reserves as I was making my way. Nice pitch I seem to remember but surroundings a bit odd. Denbigh hospital were in one of the North Wales leagues. |
