On October 5th 1963 St Pauls church burnt down.
I have a vague memory of travelling on the bus which went past the fire on the way to London Rd to watch a game.
Does anyone know if my memory is correct and could you tell me who we played that day and if possible the team selected

If you go the the 'More Memories and History of Maidstone and Good Old Friends' FB group and search on 'St Pauls' there's a load of photos and other stuff to do wih the fire. (Nothing about football though!)

I travelled on the Penenden Heath bus (to Allington Way eventually) and can remember seeing flames flickering as the bus passed the church. Everyone was talking about it. By the time I got in the ground and stood on the bank above the terracing behind fhe London Road goal, the flames and smoke were horrendous. I think I have details of the team somewhere (in my attic). Will check later.

Found the programme of our 1-5 defeat in my attic. Also, some photos cut out from the Kent Messenger, in a scrap book. We took the lead, but it all went pear-shaped after Tonbridge equalised with a twice-taken penalty.
The team that day was Peter Roberts in goal (the programme showed Cliff Baldersone), Dave Leonard, John Shed, Allan Sunnucks, Fred Baker, Stuart Davies, Mike Candey, Brian Myers, Mickey Clay, Paddy long and Ray Dawes. I can recall all those players.

My Data only has Season, Date of game, Home Team, Away Team, Competition and whether I've got a programme for the game Having kept all the data I could for each game for just this season, I now realise what a complete pain it is! I long for the club to start doing it again. I never realised just how much work goes into all that stuff you (used to) get in the programme. |
