REMT PICTURE GALLERY
Below are numerous pictures taken of Ralph Epstein Memorial Trophy matches over the years, mostly by the late JACK KYTE, TFFC's photographer who covered the majority of REMT games until his passing in 2003.

The very first REMT goal in the same game – Bushey's Steve Lewis, second left, slots home a penalty kick under the diving Temple Fortune goalkeeper Farley Conway at Bethune Park. |
|

Bushey's team which played on QPR's artificial pitch in June 1987, winning by 3-2. Robbie Wilton, front, second right, scored twice. |

The Temple Fortune Old Boys team which won the 1996 Memorial Trophy match played at Whitefield School astroturf. Skipper Tony Espinoza holds on to the newly accaimed piece of silverware. |
|
|
One of Temple Fortune's all-time greats, Steve Bourne, parades the Memorial Trophy after a comfortable 6-1 victory in the 1990 REMT fixture. Incidently, with Bushey playing in an unfamiliar yellow kit, Temple Fortune had to wear their 'clash' colours of maroon! Watching the TF captain are included Mark Isaacs (sitting), Gary Burns, Bushey's highest ever scorer Robbie Wilton (in normal clothes) and Malcolm Newman on the far right. |

The front and back cover of the very first REMT match programme. It became a tradition of this prestigious annual event that every season a programme was produced, although in recent seasons it was sent to players via email. |

Pick that one out of the net! Steve Hunt turns to celebrate one of his four goals at the Willesden Stadium which won the REMT for Temple Fortune in May 1993. |
|

Bryan Silver's excellent lob evades the Bushey goalkeeper early in the second half to give green-shirted Temple Fortune the lead. This was the first of Silver's fine hat-trick. |
|
|
Jonathan Davidoff of Temple Fortune (front) wins the ball from Bushey midfielder Steven Lewis. Davidoff has made Fortune's second highest appearances total, having reached 400 games during the 2003/04 season. |

Steven Lewis (hidden behind the Bushey No.3) about to score Bushey's second goal from the penalty spot past Fortune 'keeper Serge Weinberger. This was Steven's fifth penalty in the REMT series, all successful. |
|
|
Dave King, Fortune's captain, heads a Jeff Epstein cross for a corner, as Steven Lewis runs in. The Temple Fortune defence of Dave Goldberg, Dave King, Mike Kaye and Phil Friend, with Serge Weinberger in goal, stood firm and defended well throughout, limiting Bushey to few chances. |
|
|
On behalf of the Epstein family, Jeff (right) hands the Memorial Trophy to Dave King, skippering the victorious Temple Fortune side to their tenth success in the series. Jeff read out a message from his father Paul Epstein, who was unable to attend, sending his greeting and thanks to both teams for keeping the memory of his brother Ralph alive for so long.
