47 years ago - testimonial match for Brian Hill, referred to several times in the 8 page programme as "the quiet man" and who had joined the club back in 1957.
Match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In the 9 days since picking up the Second Division trophy on April 19th, the suddenly in-demand Derby had played 3 friendlies/testimonials in that time. No heading straight for your summer holidays in those days.

Sydenhams Wessex League Premier Division
A nice 24 page programme, plenty to read including a regular contribution from the forum's Yachtsmun. A good read and a bloody nice bloke!
Not the best of games on what seemed like a January evening, remarkably the game ended with 22 players on the pitch, this local derby can often be 'very keenly contested'!

29th April 1944
Football League - South
Att: 5,000 (est)
Aldershot 0, Crystal Palace 6 (six) (Wilson, Robson, Ferrier 2, A Dawes, Smith)
Palace neared the end of this fragmented season with a thumping victory at the Rec against a Shots side which included 9 loanees, Alec Stock (QPR) and Wally Boyes (Everton) among them. Albert Dawes was one of the scorers as usual and it's noted that he had become Mr Versatile by appearing in 9 different shirts through the season.
For some reason the picture uploading service is "temporarily unavailable". |

77 years ago (1938/9 season) and a 1st Division fixture between Brentford and Blackpool.
The programme is a 24 page issue with lots of adverts but also plenty of reading.
Brentford had only drawn one home league game all season so it may have been a surprise for this to end 1-1.
Blackpool’s goal was scored by the opposition and the crowd was 12761.

Just to think, I used to have some photos of that Cup Final replay, long before it all went mad on EBay. I'd have loved to share them with Ruud.
And so another month, another season, is nearly at an end.
30th April 1955
Football League, Division III (South)
Att: 14,425
Crystal Palace 1 (Tilston), Bristol City 2 (Burden, Rogers)
A fitting tribute on the cover to run-away leaders City, who ended the season with 101 goals, 30 wins and 70 points - 9 ahead of runners-up, Orient. Palace won the next game (v Norwich) and just crept into 20th place.
A fascinating article inside by Palace boss Cyril Spiers, who assumed the hot-seat in October. Well worth a read....

60 years ago today
Leeds United v Sheffield Wednesday
Friendly/Benefit game between the two promoted clubs from Division 2
4 pager and not an advert in sight
53 years ago
Chelsea 2 Leeds United 2 (Division 2)
Att. 24,387
Bluntstone & Bridges for Chelsea with Lawson getting both for Leeds. Good coverage on Ron Harris, captain of both the Chelsea & England Youth teams and by now featuring regularly in the Chelsea first team, a tremendous servant to the club by the end of his career there in 1980
Intended posting Tom Finney's last Preston game, home v Luton 30/4/60 but ran out of time. There's always next year! _________________ For a daily feed of football nostalgia please click on the link to view my Twitter page on your PC - https://twitter.com/MemorabiliaMal |
