While looking through some old programmes, I saw that a Lumley (no first name given) played three games in goal in the 1963/64 season for the Combination team.
Any relation to Joe?

I've asked before, but received no reply, as to whether he is related to Robin Lumley.*
Robin was the goalkeeper for Chesham United at the time you mention & may be the'keeper that played in those Combination matches. He was also one of the best to have graced The Meadow!
*Sorry, that reads poorly & could be taken as having a dig at posters (unintended). I can't think of any reason why any of this board would know if they are related.

Straight up. The keyboard player in Bowie’s Spiders From Mars is called Robin Lumley. As the camera sweeps around you can see him in about the last 20 seconds of Starman on TOTP in 72. Same name - good with his hands. Couldn’t be him could it? That would be a-mazing.
Update:
Rs programme from 1964
Indeed Robin the keeper is from Chesham not Mars. I got excited for a moment there. Kept a clean sheet on his debut away at Millwall on a Tuesday in February. Fair play.
