This week's archive game

[Urchins]

Tomorrow would have been the last game of the season so I have found something special to put a smile on your face which hopefully will last until we begin again, hopefully, in August.

It's from about 11 years ago (!) and is a game that has become legendary - Weymouth v AFC Hornchurch in the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup from October 2008.

Enjoy.

As usual, any problems let me know.

 

PS Next week would have been the play-off final. Whether we would have been involved in it or not we'll never know, but I'll try and dig something out for that weekend too. I have something in mind - I've just got to find it ?

Excellent work Rob - my favourite game of recent memory.

[CMcBride]

Oh happy days, such an honest and committed bunch, watched the whole game, bullied them really. The shame was we couldn't celebrate with our marvellous support afterwards, poor hospitality. Lee brown still doing well,portsmouth I think 

[WallyD]

Can you print the team sheet for that game please

[CMcBride]

Rob have you got Dartford away, I think it was the following Tuesday 3-0up and drew, run out of legs from the Weymouth effort, Peterborough scout couldn't believe how good Simon Parker was,

Lowestoft playoff final 7th May 2012 please. 

  Well done Rob these are filling a void for us all .....

Great day out and a fantastic result. Probably my favourite game of the last 16 years supporting Hornchurch!

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

Rob, have you got the game before Weymouth away?

I think it was away to Bromley, the one where Brightly got sent off and Styles went in goal and saved the day ?

Or even Dulwich at home around 2008, possibly earlier, it was a Friday night game and i think Craig Edwards was managing for them at the time, i believe we won.

Not sure if you would have, around 2003/2004 home to Basingstoke think we won about 6-0. Sure it was them??

A great way to end the weekend, such great memories!

Thanks Rob for putting it and all the other games up. Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks very much, wow brings back some memories. Some great players in that team, still to this day Krissy Lee and Parker up there with the best signings we have ever made imo. Lee Brown one of the best left backs I've seen and gone on to have a great career too. Donnie, Tomo, Goodfellow, Purdie all fantastic players for us too. In fact the only player I don't think we saw the best out of was Hodges however he had a great career too.

Think that was the last time I saw gooner ?

[PONY TAILED URCHIN]

 i wasn't a supporter back then but what a great game to watch and a fantastic day for the club.  

 

 

[cup of tea]

Without doubt my favourite Hornchurch game (The playoff final where Michael Spencer scored late against Lowestoft and winning the league at Witham being the other two in the top 3). Bought a tear to my eye watching Jesus scoring the winner, so late on as well. Was a shame about the security guards not letting us in the clubhouse to celebrate afterwards (clearly out of spite) but that didn't dampen the day. Brilliant game.

Thank you for putting this up Rob

I'm almost certain I've got all of these games somewhere. Unfortunately, anything before 2012 will be on tape and I'm struggling at the moment to transfer them over into a digital format. Technology has moved on so quickly...

Just a thought Rob but perhaps you could release some of the future games in private mode and fans could perhaps donate towards the running of the club for access to the video URL? It may not amount to much but every little helps
