<p>Making history is defined as doing something that will be remembered widely for a long time. To make a difference; <p>to change the world in which we live.&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>It is rare that a sporting event goes does down in history. <p>&nbsp; <p>However on a cold November Sunday morning, a Sunday League team claimed a victory that will be remembered for longer <p>than Daniel Prowses sexual conquests. <p>&nbsp; <p>Letchworth Albion, whose early season form had been likened to that of a tortoise on death row, had been enduring a torrid&nbsp; <p>run of results. To make matters worse, their only win of the season had been scrubbed out mid week due to the opposing team <p>going into financial liquidation. <p>&nbsp; <p>It was therefore unlikely that their opponents in White Horse Arlesey would offer much respite in finding solitude. <p>&nbsp; <p>What then unfolded undoubtely has changed the world in which we live. <p>&nbsp; <p>The albion started brightly and found themselves 1-0 up with Mathew Morritto curling in an equisite effort from long range. <p>A lack of celebration from the joker of the pack suggested that today was a make or break fixture for the albion. <p>&nbsp; <p>Throughout their turbulent existance, Albion have become synonomous with defending that would even make Jose Bosingwa blush. <p>However, today a back four of Ed Greenhill, Rhys Merchant, Ryan Sweeney &amp; Daniel Prowse looked unusually comfortable at back. <p>Even Grant Whittaker fooled the crowd into looking like a semi-professional footballer - pulling off some smart saves to deny <p>a potent Arlesey front three. <p>&nbsp; <p>The lead soon doubled, again with Morritto amongst the goals as a deflected shot looped over an exceptionally poor Arlesey <p>keeper. <p>&nbsp; <p>Arlesey pulled one back second later to make it 2-1 but midfield maestro Tony Davies then restored order with a classy finish from <p>close range. Rikki Holland then got inadvertently in on the action as a stray cross managed to nestle itself into the bottom corner. <p>To this day I still cannot understand how it went in. <p>&nbsp; <p>Half Time - Letchworth Albion 4 - 1 White Horse Arlesey <p>&nbsp; <p>The second half started in a cagey manner with both teams going close to further the scoring. <p>&nbsp; <p>Substitute Porno Ian then seemingly put the game beyond the reach of Arlesey with a &nbsp;cheeky finish to make it 5-1. <p>&nbsp; <p>However, the Albion then turned their attention to the other end of the pitch in giving Arlesey a soft goal following a boozy&nbsp; <p>goal kick from Keeper Grantanamo Whittaker. <p>&nbsp; <p>Ian Holyer, who had been quiet throughout the match, then stepped to put the result beyond question - making it 6-2. <p>&nbsp; <p>The game boiled over mid way through the second half with the opposing manager keen to impose his ignorance on the match. Abuse&nbsp; <p>at aimed at Rob Curry, who was exceptional throughout, only spurred on the winger to score a sublime goal after jinking past three&nbsp; <p>of the arlesey back four. Rob's subsequent celebration in front of the fat mess of a manager was applauded by all.&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>Full Time - Letchworth Albion 7 - 2 White Horse Arlesey&nbsp;
