On this day

[The Enfield Royal71]

Anyone remember this embarrassment?

1st March 2014

Reading (0) 1 v 1 (1) Yeovil Town

was that when they had 8 men?

and because of this game Brighton pipped us to the last PO spot on the last day?

classic Ady Williams.

No ideal who the goalkeeper was!

[Victor Meldrew]

Talking of unknown keepers I remember Phil Stant playing up front for us when still in the army but do any of the older posters remember we had an emergency keeper in Elm Park days from the army who wasn't very good?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Colin Court?

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Yep I believe it may be Colin Court, Steve Death was in dispute with the club and refused to play (in fact never played again) and our second choice was injured.

[Ark Royal]

1-1 vs Sw*ndon. Both goals were credited as OGs by the keepers.

That is a decent team when you think Maskel went on to score a lot of goals at Swinescum to get them into the premier. Danny Bailey was a decent player terrible haircut. I guess Floyd Streete was the weak link and jones and Richardson must have been near the end of there careers.

Jackson, agree, that team looks fairly decent. When I looked it up, was a bit surprised we only finished mid-table?

Btw, that keeper, Keeley, only made 6 apps for us, on loan.

Always a cracking day out at Selhurst Park. Allocated seating was abandoned that day - seem to recall loads of us crammed in at the back.

19 years ago today,

Oxford 1 - 3 Reading. Well and truly exorcising the horror of our 1998 trip to the Manor.
