This evening my brother Andrew Dade will become the first player to reach 300 11-a-side appearances for Effra Academicals.
Tonight is only our 385th game so to have featured in 300 of them is a truly magnificent achievement, especially when you consider that Andrew has lived in Hertfordshire and then Cambridgeshire throughout the life of the Accies - so his level of commitment to the club is utterly astounding.
Included in his 300 appearances is another incredible club record: he once played in SIXTY consecutive Effra 11-a-side matches. That record will NEVER be beaten.
I won't be there this evening to witness this historic occasion, but if you are there, please congratulate Andy in person on reaching this milestone.
I'll get to 300 soonish myself, but there are no prizes for second place!
Well done on your TRIPLE CENTURY Dade Jr!

What's even more remarkable is in 300 appearances, there's only been a hand full of yellow cards for deliberate handball!!
Well done Andy richly deserved!
