THE CITIZENS POST WCFC V Eastleigh FC Saturday 28Th July 2018 Pre-Season Friendly
THE CITIZENS POST WCFC v Eastleigh FC Saturday 28th July 2018 Pre-Season Friendly Winchester City Football Club is a committee run members club and as such is an unincorporated association. THE CITIZENS POST TODAY’S VISITORS – EASTLEIGH FC CLUB HISTORY Playing home matches firstly on Southampton Common, and then at ‘Westfield’ in Swaythling, the new club were promoted into the Hampshire League in 1950 after two campaigns spent in the Southampton Senior League (West). Within another year, Athletic, (that appellation was dropped in 1973) had topped Division Three (West) and won the Hampshire Intermediate Cup. By 1956, Swaythling were playing in the 1st Division of the County league. They would return to that level in 1970 as champions of Division 2. In keeping with their early progress, the club moved to a new ground at Ten Acres in 1957 – which remains home to this day. The change to their current name was made in 1980, six years before Eastleigh F.C. became founder members of the Wessex League. The club settled at that level, until a distinguished period under the management of present Sutton United boss Paul Doswell which began in 2002/2003. Eastleigh were that season’s Wessex League Champions. Twelve months later, they finished 4th in the Southern Football League Division One East. The club were beneficiaries of the F.A.’s restructuring of the non-league pyramid, and were elevated to begin 2004/2005 in the Premier Division of the Isthmian League. On-pitch advancement was being matched off the field. A new stand was constructed in time for the Isthmian campaign, which the team finished with a run of 14 unbeaten matches.

A game you might have forgotten November 8, 1980 n Leeds United 0 Arsenal 5 While Leeds fans of the modern era have fresh memories of humiliating home defeats dished out by the football colossi of Blackpool, Watford, Nottingham Forest and Preston, such a public dishonouring on our own doorstep rarely occurred during the 1960s and ’70s, even as Revie’s great side began to break up and the club descended into that murky tunnel called “transition”. That all changed, of course, when the clock ticked over into the 1980s. The visit of Arsenal found Leeds slowly finding their feet after that legendary sniffer of all things loose in the penalty area, Allan Clarke, had taken over as manager. Leeds were struggling to find the net and Clarke shored up his defence before worrying Leeds manager Allan Clarke with his assistant Martin Wilkinson. about being too expansive Eddie at the other end. It was a his most productive season in an Arsenal shirt with 16 league Gray somewhat uncharacteristic appearances – picked at Leeds’ failings and executed a stance for one of the club’s stunning 5-0 win that left Elland Road dumbstruck. greatest goalscorers, but one Leeds were 2-0 down by half-time with young goalkeeper that few argued with.

That’s 46 years of incredible loyalty. In fact he’s only missed one friendly and that was through no fault of his own. An air traffic control strike prevented him from boarding a flight to Toronto – he had a match ticket and a flight ticket. Brian Clough lasted 44 days. Jock Stein lasted 44 days. Another 19 managers have come and gone (20 if you include Eddie Gray twice – although he’s far from gone, given his role as commentator on Yorkshire Radio with the brilliant Thom Kirwin, hospitality stuff and complete and utter devotion to Leeds United) and Brian McDermott is the latest man to depart Elland Road.

A game with such mammoth Hird party-sabotaging potential couldn’t be ignored by the Leeds faithful. Add another opportunity to have a pop at comic-book villains Gordon McQueen and Joe Jordan and the 39,625 crowd was nearly 24,000 up on the previous home game, as a season of renewed hope ended in a sorry 11th-placed finish. with Brian Flynn working tirelessly and Derek Leeds started hungrily, eager to create Paul Madeley, on his 700th appearance, Parlane a party of their own, and just as news marshalling with authority in defence. emerged that Liverpool had gone ahead Both sides went close in a more even at Anfield, the paper plates and sausage second half, but the game and title race rolls were well and truly out as Derek were over as a contest when Kevin Hird, Parlane dispatched a Carl Harris cross in possibly his most effective game in a to send Elland Road wild on 12 minutes.

A game you might have forgotten March 25, 1989 n Leeds United 1 Portsmouth 0 On the face of it, a 1-0 end-of-season win against Portsmouth may appear to hold little significance, as yet another season was fading away without a serious promotion challenge being mounted. But upon closer inspection this game, rather than the result itself, was momentous in shaping the dizzying success the club was to achieve over the following three seasons. Lining up in a Leeds United shirt for the first time this day were 32-year-old Gordon Strachan (a £300,000 signing from Manchester United) and Chris Fairclough (a loanee to the end of the season whereupon a £500,000 fee with Tottenham Hotspur had been agreed). As statements of intent and transfer deadline moves went, the signings would these days be John enough to make Sky TV’s Jim White Gordon Sheridan shout incoherently until midnight.

Leeds NEVER conceded five goals … period! In fact, in the 19 games played up to that point, United‟s iron clad defence had kept 10 clean sheets, including matches against Liverpool, table-topping Arsenal and mighty Ferencvaros (twice) in the Fairs Cup final. But there was no hint of a fluke about the result: Burnley had been on fire and took the Whites apart with some breathtaking football. By the time of the return fixture at Elland Road the weekend before Christmas, normal service had been resumed … Leeds were undefeated since Turf Moor and were hot on the heels of Liverpool in pursuit of the League title; Burnley were tenth, without a win since November 9, having shipped seven goals at Manchester City in the first week of December. It took Leeds a while to get the result out of their system even though they managed to quickly stabilise things. A refocusing on defensive basics delivered three successive goalless draws in the League immediately after the debacle at Turf The Yorkshire Evening Post of 23 December 1968 carries Terry Moor, though the points they dropped cost them top Lofthouse's report of United's thrashing of Burnley 2 days previously - featuring pictures of Mick Jones in a painful clash spot.
