My Wendy supporting Uncle told me a story about Joe Cockcroft who was 37 years old when we signed him from Wendy. He was "well past his prime" and missed a penalty for us in a vital match. He played 12 games for us before going to Wisbech Town. I was told that Alec Blakeman was a poor signing from Brentford and played only 5 matches for us. 1948-49 season was a poor one despite the good crowds (second highest average attendances for a season in our history). We finished in bottom place

Also, an early photo of Newcastle United v Old Etonians who, regardless of the impracticalities used to play in their old school uniforms at the time probably just to rub it in that they could afford new suits and hats after every match.....

Made me think of this

 

[vorpal blade]

only more so....

I think was the Corinthians who wouldn't take a penalty when they were awarded one because they regarded it as unfair punishment?

This sort of psychology can work, I remember playing pool against a local cockerney lad in London and it all got a bit fractious. I wiped the floor with him but I refused to pot a very easy black and told him he'd won the game.... he went mental but his friends held him back and I walked out of the pub without a scratch.... still I'd have got 'shanked' now, they teach it in school in Hackney.

Into the notebook: Police book players after stopping a football match between Dore Juniors and Sheffield Rovers on Dore Recreation Ground in Sheffield in 1962. The teams had held a 'disorganised' football game in the hope of beating the Corporation bylaw forbidding organised sport on Sundays

1935

England play Germany in a friendly international

guess whos fans these are

 

[vorpal blade]

well, that's White Hart Lane....

I take it they're German, they seem to know the words, then again, even I know the words to that German National Anthem, are they black shirts, English Fascists?

according to the Mail , its the germans

 

[vorpal blade]

Yes, I just googled it as I'd never heard of the incident before, I'm a bit surprised there were that many gentile Germans in England in 1935.

Chelsea?

 

[Kentblade]

It is FA Cup 4th round weekend.
It is good to know we have a good cup pedigree but unfortunately not for many years.
There will be no one here who witnessed the win in 1899.
Bet it took a long time to get to Wembley in that mode of transport.

PS Having watched the Millwall game I can see why Wilder was interested in their centre back Webster.
