Talk:Aslie Pitter

Article corrected
I noticed that the original article stated that Aslie Pitter played for Old Boys Clapham in the early 1990's. The source material from the Evening Standard actaully states;

An assistant manager at Boots, Aslie has had to endure racist as well as homophobic abuse. "When I was 17, I played for a straight white amateur Sunday league team in Clapham and I'd get called 'wog' by my own team-mates. I'd walk through Clapham Common crying my eyes out and thinking, thank goodness they don't know I'm gay! "I learnt never to let on that it hurt because you'd be told 'it was just banter' and that you had 'a chip on your shoulder'. But I also naively believed that I could win them over, that the abuse would stop when they saw how talented I was." Aslie, a midfielder, had talent indeed: he was selected for the Sutton United youth team and had a trial at Wimbledon. But his days in straight teams came to an end, he says, when a team-mate at Clapham Old Boys found out he was gay and next thing, the coach dropped him from the first to the fourth team."

Clapham Old Boys and Old Boys Clapham FC, founded in 2010, are not the same entity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pjoicey (talk • contribs) 15:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
