Joe Lumley's Grandfather? 09:03 - Feb 28 with 3325 views | stefan54 | While looking through some old programmes, I saw that a Lumley (no first name given) played three games in goal in the 1963/64 season for the Combination team. Any relation to Joe? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Joe Lumley's Grandfather? on 09:50 - Feb 28 with 3242 views | terryb | I've asked before, but received no reply, as to whether he is related to Robin Lumley.* Robin was the goalkeeper for Chesham United at the time you mention & may be the'keeper that played in those Combination matches. He was also one of the best to have graced The Meadow! *Sorry, that reads poorly & could be taken as having a dig at posters (unintended). I can't think of any reason why any of this board would know if they are related. [Post edited 28 Feb 2020 9:54]

I only put this on the message board as a matter of interest and on the off-chance that someone might know something. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Sorry stefan. I didn't mean my post about people not knowing to be aimed at you. It was more about my own reaction when nobody knew the answer previously! I just hope that they are related! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Cheers nix. I hadn't regarded the question as important enough to have contacted the club previously. However, my curiosity has now risen to the level that i have sent an e mail to the club posing the question! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Yes, that the PR department don't know the answer but that they will ask Joe if he is at the training ground when they are next there! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Joe Lumley's Grandfather? on 14:21 - Feb 28 by terryb | Cheers Danny. Robin was a very good 'keeper for that level & definitely played better than Grobbelaar did when he played for "Chesh"! Larry Pritchard was possibly the best "amateur" playing in the country in the late '60's/early '70's for Sutton & then for the club that I loathe! |
Keith Sanderson? albeit I think he may have been classified as a semi pro. | ![](/images/avatars/9990.gif) |
