In the 1927/28 season the then Secretary, Mr. Harold Bond omitted to register the team in the Nayland and District League. This resulted in many players leaving to play for other league teams. The remaining players, played only friendly games. The following season the players returned and the club was renamed Dedham Old Boys F.C. The picture alongside is from the 1929/30 season.

Les Long, Lived most of his life just a few hundred yards from the ground in Forge Street..
Albert Daughters was a stalwart of the club during the 50’s, 60’s 70’s and 80’s. He could rightly be called “Mr Dedham Olds Boys” as he had many roles in the club, from Chairman, Secretary, Captain and Groundsman, among others. In the 1970’s he received an award from the Colchester and East Essex League in recognition of his work for the club.
Timmy Smith played for many years and retired from the game at the ripe old age of fifty.
