The Menace Of South London | Peckham Town FC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Peckham Town FC are a community club. In every sense of the word. From free space at Peckham Rye to their very own Menace Arena. But the journey hasn't been easy. Anyone from south London will tell you that people from south of the river are special, and the volunteers that make up Peckham Town are no different. A football club for the community built by the community. It doesn't get any better than that.

I love these stories where one dream comes to reality and you never stop believing in yourself. All the best to Peckham Town FC.
I hope this video skyrockets their fanbase
COPA90 Stories honestly does so much for football… The content they develop and publish on UA-cam is FAR better than other football channels - especially those channels who solely focus on the uber rich players and clubs.
They shine a light on what makes football truly great.
I used to be a goalkeeper at Peckham Town
This guy should be BBC sports personality of the year! His commitment to community is extraordinary. All respect to you Sir.
seconded
What a guy. Dedicating your life to your community is such an honorable thing.
This is beautiful, hearing Bryan speak with such passion of his dream turning into reality, it just brought me to tears man.
I really hope they can move a couple of divisions up and play in the FA Cup one day. The Menace have a new fan from Barcelona.
Bryan, Mary and the club are an inspiration.
It's what football should be about, what it was built on and lost over the years.
Much luck and success to Peckham Town.
I always say to people, 'if you wanna cleanse your soul, go and do some volunteering'...Inspirational!
Yeah that's truly inspiring. Loved this.
Over the past 3 years I've been starting to go to lower league football in London and around the UK. Can't get tickets for the team I support - so this is how I can watch the game. The passion at the lower levels and the community is inspiring. This video captures all of that.
What a legend Bryan is! Give that man an MBE, he, and the others like him around the country are what and who we should be celebrating.
I'm an old Pompey fan. An old acquaintance of mine has been living in South London for many years and he loves going to watch Peckham. I've decided that I need to get on board as well at the next opportunity ⚽❤ Also, well done to @Copa90, I love beautiful stories like this from grass roots football all over the world.
You won't be the only Pompey fan at the match! I split my time between Fratton Park and the Menace Arena.
I grew up in Peckham Camden Estate in the 90s. Now I live in Texas USA and will support Peckham FC!
We need more of this kind of contents after this. Something that even the big teams of the upper leagues lacked, something called 'soul'. Well at least for me, love it!
What an inspirational guy Brian is! He exudes goodwill, hope & positivity! London borough of Peckham you are blessed ❤️🙏🏻
How many people just became "Menace" fans from watching this? Well done, COPA90. Well done, indeed.
This is beyond powerful. We need more people like Bryan, not just in football but in everything we do. Be like Bryan.
From Australia. What a beautiful story. This is what our game is all about. GO THE MENACE !
I volunteered to coach the U11s as part of my work experience for a college course about 8 years ago. Bryan and Mary are sound people, it was a good experience. Still have nightmares of when he made me referee a match tho, had a shocker 😂
😂😂
This is I-Maric,
I love this, well done to all the members of Peckham Town. One day we will be playing in the FA Cup. Big up the staff, volunteers, players and fans.
#wearethemenace
Such a beautiful story. The founder can do a duo with Sir Attenborough to comment animal documentaries. He have the voice and the cadence for it
This is what football is all about, community, volunteerism, inclusivity, passion and integrity. I love this! Thank you for sharing your story with the world
What a wonderful story. Cheers from Sydney, Australia.
The rest of the football world admires the support lower league football gets in the U.K. They may have the richest top division ever seen in world football, but clubs like Peckham are the foundations the whole English football pyramid is built upon. It's all down to volunteers who do what they do for the love of their community and for the love of the game.
Played for these lot a few years back at U17s. The staff at the club are genuinely nice people. Always kept the training kit.
Amazing Brian you are a credit to grass roots football well done 👏
I go to Peckham to visit Deserted Catcus, a tiny restaurant serving the best southern fried jackfruit you can get. The welcome is always so lovely and the locals are all really nice. Next time I go I’ll make sure I coincide with a visit to the Menace Arena. What an inspiring story.
Im now a Menace fan ,brilliant story good luck all .love from Brasil 🇧🇷
This is what it’s all about, team for the town from the town.. its people like these that make grass roots football, cradle to grave football male, female. Keep up the great work
I spent alot of my childhood in woolwich not to far from Peckham and its people like these guys that really help kids in these areas. There tuff places to be young so big ups my friends much respect
What a brilliant story. Well done man. Respect to you and everyone at Peckham Town FC, from a Forest fan in Nottingham.
S/o to coach Mary and S/o to Bryan all the way from Oakland ca. this is is SO dope to see. I'm literally in tears typing this. beautiful football story.
p.s goin to my local team (Oakland Roots) games this year but PECKHAM TOWN FC is on my bucket list. Good Luck you MENACES!
It's stuff like this that reminds me why I love football. Superb. 👏
I was born in south London and raised in the famous aylesbury estate up until 6 years old, few known footballers have come through that estate, Peckham was literally down the road, I always get this feeling when ever I go back to south, I can’t explain! The people are different, everything! Love Peckham and the people man, will go down to support the team at some point! Goodluck Peckham Town FC.
Respect from Melbourne Australia. I lived in Peckham Rye Cheltenham Rd in the mid 80's and played park football. Very fond memories . Great doco , well done Bryan and Peckham Town FC. I'm sure you'll be playing FA Cup football soon
I coached the youth team there as a parent coach a few years back. Had no idea about Mary's background. Such a humble unassuming person. Bryan was always warm, welcoming and positive.
Absolutely brilliant film and one of the best I have seen in a long time, it truly lifted the soul. Respect to all those involved.
When I first arrived in London back in late 2017 I was living in a rented room close to Burgess Park (in the Camberwell side) but used to go all the way down the Park to the Peckham side and got found memories of the area. Wish the club all the best moving forward ❤️
Glad you said a side, otherwise I'd assumed The Aylesbury 😂
Great watch … moral of the story.. get involved with your local grassroots teams! U won’t regret it!!
Wonderful story. I thoroughly enjoyed it..
What a story, and what a video. Thanks for making and sharing this. Dreams can come true!
I love the story....... A sound of hope, i cried watching it, its easier to say the story but the pain and joy in building this up is resounding
I hope Bryan does get his dream one day and Peckham gets a Fa cup match because the guy has put his heart into this pretty much all his life and the fact that he grew it to where there at now is a great story. Support grass roots football because a lot of teams do rely on volunteers and just support from the community to keep the doors open and it's really something special in English football
The premier League is so far removed from what football can represent, the passion, the sense of community. I love non league football
My team❤ I play for U15s
@Behzinga you were talking about wanting to sponsor a football team, lets go lad
👊 bryan.the world need more people like yourself .respect and all the best
I have played there before and i am glad to have had the opportunity to be part of Peckham Town’s Journey. One thing about this club i realised was the reliance on volunteers who came from busy lives, I remember Alex Scott (Former Arsenal, England Women’s and a current TV presenter, she would come down and help out with sessions which at the point we probably didn’t think much of it but I m hope all the Volunteers at this club get the recognition they deserve. Diversity was always a significant element in the club’s operations
Brilliant!! As someone who was involved at a grassroots club that was proactive and growing well until the dinosaurs brought back a bowling club mentality, I wish you all well.
Grassroots fitba is where the real passion is. Up Peckham!!
Been with Bryan a few times . True disciple of football and a great leader. Been linesman at their games a few times. Great when they won the London FA cup vs Cubo . Up the menace !!!
Shame you Copa 90. Put the production team and post production team in your video description. This is a great video, the creators deserve credit. I know it’s not just made by Copa90
What a great, heart-warming story and Bryan is a fantastic bloke. I knew who Mary was straight away because I'm a Gooner....class player! Might have to nip along to a few games 😊.
As Geordie , Bryan and his team need to be commended for his and their hard work and dedication to Peckham Town , Great to see !
Good luck and success for years to come
Coming from the USA, I can say next time I visit I'm definitely more interested in supporting a team like Peckham than the big leagues. I'm so glad I saw this video and I hope it gets other people like me to turn up for real grass roots football.
Absolutely love this story.
Decent hard working volunteers, life blood of any club.
Come play us at Moyross United F.C. in Limerick, Ireland. Look us up. Very similar to you.
All hard working people giving their time and effort free to keep a decent club going. Well done to all at Peckham town F.C.
New fans here!
Cool football club il have to go up and watch them one day
this is so wicked man i was a boy who used to visit this plot of land on a Sunday the changing rooms were a nightmare now look how beautiful it is.. Peckham town you just got another supporter well done to all involved,
Life-affirming, heart-warming story. Good on you, Menace!
Such a great documentary and inspiring story. I Ras I-Maric is privileged to have contributed with the club/team song. PECKHAM TOWN WE ARE THE MENACE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now this is what footballs all about ❤!
"I couldn't afford to play football when I was young thats why I ended up making me own Team".
What a great storty, society will never reward these social hero's the way it should but we can all show our appreciation.
I loved this! Great spirit is being shown by Peckham Town!
The Menace represent the antidote to the corruption and Cynicism of the modern game in Europe. Respect to Peckham !
Ah man I lived in Peckham for a few years and worked the area in them years, I fitted sky and it was a amazing time, ive been in all them flats and fitted dishes on all them houses, had a blast loved the people and the area, I had to come bak up north because i couldnt afford to live there on me own,
Times change but i remember the area and the people with a massive heart, they looked after me as the sky engineer, some would call me the sky dog! haha they love their football, I made some happy people too turning that sky box on :) big up Peckham from Nottingham
great Video. I played there 27 years ago against Dulwich Hamlet youth and it is great what you have done with the place
Hope this guys going around primary schools inspiring kids and growing his team, every single person in this club is an inspiration.
Respect from Gothenburg!!!
Yatabooty salute!!
I grew up in Peckham in the 70's and wish this team had been around then. I had to go and see Dulwich Hamlet but Peckham Town would have been special. Well done to all involved and I will keep an eye open on your progress. Up The Menace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be along to watch a game very soon 💯brilliant story well done copa90
What a brilliant short film! I could have watched this for hours. Well done to you all, what an amazing achievement! Having been a volunteer for 20 plus years in the turkish community I know how fantastic the feeling is when you see the joy on peoples faces. I have a couple of ideas to try and help. I will try my best. Your new cross neighbour! 💪🏻💪🏻
That's one hell of a proud, stand-up guy.. Well done Brian and all the staff and players at Peckham Town FC.. 👏👏👏You have now got a Northern Branch of the Peckham Town Supporters Club based in Bradford, Yorkshire.
All of a sudden this documentary got me reminiscing about my childhood and how I used to watch a British comedy show called “Desmond” on BET.
Beautiful film; absolutely fitting for such a great story and group of community-minded people coming together to make a club that makes life better for everyone, teaches youngsters discipline and perseverance along with teamwork... this is what football is all about and it's wonderful to see the club flourish!
There's real glory to be enjoyed for fans of local hero run clubs like PFC. The growth years! Its beautiful. Brian Hall, man done good!!! Huge respect
Such a great film!!! New Menace fan here for sure. The people who run that club are absolute superstars.
Good luck Peckham Town FC! We see you soon in FA CUP
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
Big up yourself nuff respect for what your doing for SE15 and the youts 🎉
beautiful story man
Great video and a very sympathetic club. Wishing you all the very best for the future.
Inspirational - this is the best of what football is - great people working hard to contribute to their local community - mad respect!!!
This is awesome. Amazing story and amazing people
So cool, loved watching this. These are the type of people that give you hope.
This is amazing. Nowadays clubs like this are the heart and soul of football seeing as most levels of professional football have become inaccessible finacially. I support a non legaue team that went bust in the ninties and has come back as a phoneix club but If I ever get the chance I'm going to go down Pecktown to watch a game.
Poor guy, was against it at the beginning... was nice video to watch in the end.... was well worth a watch glad ur channel growing and ur getting more recognition.... fully deserved.. hope your channel keeps on growing..
Indeed
I was in Peckham last December, it is like a nice neighborhood.
Football is Life! ❤
Well done Peckham Town, we’ve come a long way. #believe
What an amazing story. Put a smile on my face and maybe a little tear in my eye. This is what is great about football, you can't beat the sense of community a football team gives you.
I don't know how to like this video more. Passion is dripping from everyone involved in this videos production. ❤
Yo what a great story love this
This is what football is all about to me. More than just a game.

A very wholesome and lovely story, they’re a credit to their community
