Sometime early 80s maybe... anyone remember... at the Turf.. On a Sunday possibly.
Anyone there, remember who played.

Don't know, but I doubt it will have been as early as you claim.

Eastenders didn't start until the mid 80s.

Would have been around 1988/89. I went but the only thing I can remember is before the game, Adam Woodyatt (Ian Beale) putting his fag out on the pitch which made me rather cross.

Why? Stan did it several times a game

Yes, when he first took over, he claimed there was a "cancer" at the club.

I wonder if there was a link?

Late 80s then? Ian Beale stubbing his cig... any more little nuggets

Corrie/Emmerdale v Walford Boys Club, was the very late 80s, post Sherpa Van Final so I'd guess summer of 1988

The mitchell brothers turned up with a roll of carpet and a couple of spades

Something has come back to me. It must have been around Easter 1987 because it was the first time I went to the Turf on my own (ie without my dad) and by the Orient game I was going regularly with mates.

Think my dad was linesman.

As I recall one of the sides turned up short a few players so at least one of the ground staff (Aiden?) ended up playing for them....

I remember this one. Adam woodyatt (Ian beele) got a bucket of water over him. In the match vs coronation St!
