Retro Red Devils 13 – 1967/68 “Promotion here we come”, No reason to Bragg!
No, I am not referring to the present day (but who knows, after that brilliant win at Bradford!) but a season I have written about several times in the past: 1967-68, our fifth season in the Southern League. I was recently loaned some old scrapbooks by ex-player Vic...

Retro Red Devils 12 – Various Dons, What are the Laws?!!, 60 years of Inconsistency
It doesn’t seem to matter which “Dons” we play at the moment, we can’t get a result. After a very poor first half against the AFC version, we did the opposite in the first half of the MK version, but just cannot convert the chances we make. It’s a story told often...
Retro Red Devils 11 – 1969/70 Red Devils Torture Dons Then Torture Fans

After booking a weekend trip for the match at Morecambe only for it to be postponed rather late in the day due to International U21 commitments for our opponents (really!), I felt on safer ground booking an extended trip to the southern Lake District for the Barrow...

West Ham United ‘A’, 1960s Retail Therapy & Accrington.
I write this article in muted mood as another FA Cup campaign ends in the first round, albeit with, apparently, an impressive attacking performance. Due to it coinciding with our annual bonfire party, I couldn’t get to the game, but was told we more than matched Notts...
Morecambe, Anniversaries and the FA Cup
I started this piece away from home, with my programmes and research materialat the other end of the country. We were on a trip to the North West, arranged a couple of months ago to coincide with our Morecambe away match on Saturday 14th October, which, subsequently,...
