  George Joslin Memorial Shirt
It's a short story, which we hope, in bringing a local business already working with the club together with our under 9s team, has brought some happiness long-term in a sadness which affected some close members of our club.
The shirts for the under 8's as it was then, were purchased by 'grandad', as he was known to the boys, shortly before he died in the spring of last year.
Keeping his memory alive, we have our first ever memorial shirt, which has been kindly financed by Gordon and Terry of Wolfcat Computers.
Kay Benniman, Team Manager, said: "George Joslin, or grandad, as he was fondly referred to by the East Grinstead Town Under 9's team, died in the spring of 2005. He will always be remembered with a smile for his straight talking - as many a referee will agree - and unstinting support for our team. George would be at every match and training session the weather would allow him. A true gentleman who would always be the first to volunteer a helping hand.
With his generosity shown in supplying football shirts for his grandson, Paul Wrintmore's team and his friends, it is only fitting that on a Saturday match day he should be thought of with his name proudly printed on the reverse of our team shirts."
