6.2.67 - Wimbledon at home - 0.4 - On this Day

[JeremyJacobs]

In the fog. An amazing match for two main reasons:

 

1. First ever multi-toilet roll throwing from the Coffin End in an attempt to get the match abandoned as...............

 

2. Very few Margate fans saw any of the goals scored due to the very poor visibility..........

Now that is one game I do remember clearly,or not clearly,if you know what I mean. Couldnt see the far goal if I remember correctly from the other end.

yep i was there was it dicky guy in goal

[Cookie]

I'm sure it was Steve.

[JeremyJacobs]

Don't think it was Dickie.

JJ is right. Frank Smith was in goal for the Dons and we score all oour goals in the first half (Gerry O'Rourke hat trick).

 

You can read about another MFC V WFC game in Saturday's programme, together with an interview with one of our ex-players and his son - one of your current players !

 

Now who knows who those two are then ?

[Jeff Trice]

Bill Edwards and his dad Billy ?

[JeremyJacobs]

Ray - were you there too?

[ray]

Jeff - well done mate, but looking at your excellent history website I'd expect you to get that one right !

JJ - not quite, my first Dons game was 1971. But I take a bit of an interest in Wimbledon's history <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
