  It's funny how you sometimes see Timbo's old programmes and a completely unknown name jumps out at you. In this case Keith Coley. What became of him? Do a quick internet search and there's someone of the same name (now into his sixties) living in South Devon. If it's the same bloke his association with Torquay United must seem a brief interlude in his youth. And did he keep up the art? |

1965. That'll be more like it for Felix. In the days before Radio Sheffield he'd have been waiting for the Green 'Un for news of this one. And, looking at the score, the little blighter would have been smiling that evening.
Timbo tells us that the crowd was 3325; hardly the sort of attendance we associate with that period. End of season, mind, and would I be right in thinking this was Eric Webber's last home game after all those years? Time for a change. How about that young Irish bloke over at Weymouth? Frank O'Somebody?
Talk - just about the first airing? - of "modernising this soccer arena" by getting rid of the old cow shed. Well, it happened in O'Farrell's day and how about calling what now stands there the Frank O'Farrell Stand? Just an idea.
Curious words from the Trekker. He'd be right about the anti-climax after the games against Tottenham. But the words "a good deal has been learned during the season" are interesting when you consider the manager had been there fourteen seasons. Trekker may not have realised it but, by now, young Mr Boyce had learned it was time for action.
Peter Stringfellow of Chesterfield, we are told, served with Oldham and Gillingham. Was this the start of his nightclub empire? If so, I'd have thought Gillingham would have been unpromising territory.
Another Herald Cup victory for the "A" team and there's HN Clegg, Cheerleader, giving his thoughts about travel to away games. Each set of notes seem to end with a hearty "cheerio for now".
And, soon, a more lasting farewell to Eric.
