Sunday League programmes from the early 60's

[Auchinleckian]

I was intrigued when I received an online catalogue from a relatively new person, dealing in a minor way, by these programmes. They're all Edmonton and District Sunday League programmes from the early seasons, and it seems that one game per week was played at the Henry Barrass Stadium each week. Although fairly basic 4 pagers they certainly provide suitable content about both teams, team line ups, and other details. There are cracking photos of the "stadium" on flickr, and they show a fairly decent sized, rudimentary covered stand. Would the one per club non league collectors count these as programmes for each of the home clubs? Doesn't really bother me if they do or don't but having not come across these before I assume there's not too many of them about?

I'm a "one-per-club" collector, John, and for me the parameter is that the club have to be playing the match at their own ground.

So, from my point of view, no, they wouldn't count.

Still nice items to own though.

Thanks for the memories.
I played in the league in mid 80's and refereed until the mid 90's. I played in the 1985 Brigg Cup final at the stadium (lost) and was linesman in two later finals. I enjoyed every minute.
Going back to the programmes, the ground was used by many clubs as there home pitch, so there is a chance that you might have a new edition for your collection. I also played for Enfield supporters on a Sunday and they produced a programme (thanks to Rob Bassett).

The ground was the home ground for Edmonton FC until 1972, then it all changed and another lost club merged to became Haringey Borough.

You must remember Dave Hodges then?

Yes, I plaed in the same team as him. Also Paul Hunt, Paul & Gary Pearce, Steve Powell, Keith Buckle, Paul Burnett, Dave Moore, Sean Peters, Peter Chin & Rob's brother Chris.
Played in the tail end of 87-8 season and 88-9 season. I played in goal and also done the match reports for the programmes!

I only know Hodgey...good mate of mine.
Still got a few of those progs lurking about - he offloaded a job lot on me a few years back.
Can have a search if you want any?
