I was only happy to oblige with what details I had and seeing the details were to hand, here they are. I know most of you will have seen articles in the Match Day Magazine and in the club History book “The Boys in Blue from 1882” but a number of our newer supporters might not be aware that we, Skelmersdale United were Champions of Europe. The Coppa Ottorino Barassi was a competition named after Ottorino Barassi that was contested from 1968 until 1976. The competition was contested by the English FA Amateur Cup winners and the Italian Coppa Italia Dilettanti winners and was played over two-legs, one at each participating club's stadium. Leytonstone F.C. were the first champions of the competition in 1968, winning on the away goals rule following a 1–1 draw in the first leg at home, and a 2–2 in the return away fixture. The 1974 tournament was not played, and following the abolition of the FA Amateur Cup that year the English representative became the champions of the Second Division of the Isthmian League. The last instalment of the competition was in 1976, when Unione Sportiva Soresinese won following a penalty shootout. This was the only time an Italian team won the competition. United's bonus for last seasons Amateur Cup Triumph was to take part in the Non- League European Cup Winners Cup and a game against Northern Italy's Monte Belluna. So on Wednesday 29th September United took to the field Crosbie, Allan, Austin, Owen, Swift, Poole, Brackpool, Spencer, Dicken, Windsor, Woodward Sub Lucas, as nearly 1,400 saw United win by two goals to nil courtesy of Spencer and the ever reliable Andy Windsor. But not before a humorous moment just prior to kick off, “Go and find the music to the Italian National anthem, Wal” was the instruction from Chairman Bill Gregson to director Walter Giller. Wal duly obliged, but in the dark at the back of the stand, using a record player, all went awry. As the needle went down on the wrong tune, a bemused Italian team stood to attention with the strains of “The Teddy Bears Picnic” blaring round the ground. PHIL PLOTS SLIDE RULE VICTORY Skelmersdale Utd 2 Monte Belluna 0 1st leg Wednesday 29th September 1971 In a truly international setting Skelmersdale United’s stand in midfield man Phil Spencer served notice to make the position his own. Spencer a second team player until the injury crisis struck captivated the 1,400 strong crowd with a one man show of brilliance and it is due to his individual flair that United travel to Italy for the second leg two goals ahead. The 20 year old planning clerk plotted the downfall of the Italian champions with slide rule precision and found chinks in the iron curtain defence which few of his collegues thought existed. He scorned attempts by Monte Belluna to throw a huge red cordon around goalkeeper Semenrim, probed almost non stop to find a path to goal and was eventually rewarded when the first half seemed certain to end with a blank scoreline. Ghosting through to the right edge of the penalty area, he fastened on to a through pass and although the keeper got his hands to the fiercely hit shot, he found it to hot to handle and the ball sped into the back of the net. It was the breakthrough that Skem had fought for from the start but despite Spencer they were unable to crack the Italians man for man marking system until the final minutes. Then centre forward Andy Windsor, who makes a habit of snatching last gasp goals struck. He leapt to meet a right wing cross and although the header struck the crossbar, his powers of recovery was so swift that he had lashed the ball into the back of the net before the Italians could say “spaghetti” It was a goal that could prove invaluable when the return clash is played next Wednesday. Monte Belluna will have to score three to win and prevent United from scoring According to Geoff Howard the Advertisers Chief sports writer, after the game Gigi Peronace from the Italian FA, the man who lured John Charles and Dennis Law for the Lire, spent a night in Liverpool Road he’ll never forget. It took place in the Engine Hotel, pork pies, sandwiches on the top of a pool table and no room to swing a cat, United certainly showed how to push the boat out. The return leg two weeks later saw 6,500 supporters watch the Italians win by just the 1 goal and United were now Champions of Europe. The after match celebrations held by the Italians were a far cry from those a fortnight earlier, a magnificent banquet under chandeliers, no expense spared. The flight together with overnight accommodation would have cost any supporters wishing to travel the princely sum of £35. UNITED HOLD ON TO CUP Monte Belluna 1 Skelmersdale Utd 0 Wednesday 13th October 1971 Another famous trophy now adorns the boardroom table at White Moss Park. More than 6,500 frenzied and near hysterical Italians failed to shatter the cool and calm of Skelmersdale United as they held on to snatch the Barassi Cup. A 10th minute goal by Tessatu was a boost the Italians Amateur cup holders needed as they fought to wipe out a two goal deficit but they failed to make any further impression on a rock like United defence. They attempted every conceivable trick in the book in their bid to out smart a business like defence but found their task even harder the longer the game went on. The fans screamed their disapproval when referee failed to award a penalty after Austin had tackled the Montebullana winger, the ref rightly ruled the foul had occurred outside the box and awarded a free kick which came to nothing. To have conceded a penalty at such a late stage, a second goal would have forced extra time, would have been an injustice to United who battled gamely throughout. Few players excelled more than keeper Peter Frankish and pivotal Alan Swift both who thwarted the Italians time and time again with their undoubted skills. The closest United came to scoring was in the 63rd minute when a tremendous drive from Alan Wolfe thudded against the woodwork and bounced clear. United team: Frankish, Allen, Poole, Wilkinson, Swift, Lucas, Austin, Spencer, Windsor, Wolfe, Birtwhistle, Subs Woodward and Telfer.

  • A Special Meeting
    CHESTER Thinking about tomorrow, today! Winter 2008/9 Edition 6 Now we are Nine – a special meeting Chester City Supporters’ Trust is holding a Special General Meeting (SGM) at the Bull & th Stirrup, Northgate Street, Chester on Thursday 19 February at 8pm, in order to make changes in the constitution to bring them into line with the majority of other Supporters Trusts. Chester City Supporters Trust (CCST) was founded nine years ago and was at the forefront of the initiative from Supporters Direct to give supporters of professional sports clubs a voice through democratic representation. By setting the Trust up as an Industrial and Provident Society (IPS) it provided a vehicle by which supporters Lee Walton (left) and Graham Ross (extreme right) of could acquire a shareholding in the club CCST meet Brian Lomax (Supporters Direct), then and even run it themselves should Culture Secretary Chris Smith and Christine Russell MP circumstances permit. early in 2000 Supporters Direct provided us with a template constitution which at the time suggested a minimum number of board members for each Trust. Since those early days many Trusts have found it difficult to maintain the numbers stipulated and the suggested minimum number is now smaller. Members will be asked to vote on a number of rule changes at the SGM but we also intend to open the meeting to general questions from members about the actions and objectives of your current Board. All members will find further details enclosed with this newsletter. Please come along and meet your Board members. You are also welcome to bring other Chester City supporters who will be able to join on the night.

  • Macclesfield Town Football Club Trivia
    MACCLESFIELD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB TRIVIA Boxing Day Macclesfield have played Stalybridge Celtic on Boxing Day on more occasions than any other side. Civic Receptions The team enjoyed Civic Receptions at Macclesfield Town Hall preceded by an open top bus parade through the town on four consecutive seasons under manager Sammy McIlroy. 1994-95 – Champions of the Vauxhall Conference 1995-96 – Winners of the Umbro FA Trophy 1996-97 – Champions of the Vauxhall Conference and promotion to the Football League. 1997-98 – Promotion from Nationwide League Division 3 to Nationwide League Division 2 as runners-up. Highest Score 15-0 Has been achieved on two occasions: 6 February 1886 in the third round of the Cheshire Senior Cup match against Chester St Mary’s and on 12 November 1887 in the first round of the Cheshire Senior Cup against Barnton Rovers. Media Reports In the early days of local football it took several years for the local newspapers to provide a separate ‘Football’ section. Reports of matches would often be found in the ‘General News’ section and later all sports were included under the heading ‘Past Times’, football being the poor relation, the striking feature being that cycling received many more column inches than football. Record Attendances The attendance of 41434 at Chelsea in the third round of the FA Cup on 6 January 2007 is the highest crowd the Silkmen have played in front of. The largest attendance for a match involving the Silkmen at the Moss Rose was 9003 on 14 February 1948 in the second round of the Cheshire Senior Cup against Winsford United who won 3-2.

  • Macclesfield Town Football Club Return to the Non-League Scene Chapter
    MACCLESFIELD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB RETURN TO THE NON-LEAGUE SCENE CHAPTER TWO Season 2013-2014 JOHN’S IN CHARGE BY GEOFFREY KNIGHTS OVERVIEW The appointment of John Askey as manager with Efe Sodje as his assistant was warmly welcomed by the fans. John, who has made more appearances for the Silkmen than any other player, is held in very high esteem by the supporters and officials. Efe Sodje, another legend having scored the Silkmen’s first Football League goal, is well respected and has the ability to gain sponsorship deals. As a management team they worked wonders on a restricted budget reaching the third round of the FA Cup, with the team completing the season in a mid-table position in the Skrill Premier League. It was a contrasting scene off the field of play with a difficult financial position to be managed, possible takeover moves said to be in the pipeline throughout the season, outstanding debts and the Registrar turning aside the club’s application to convert to a Community Interest Club, all leading to a feeling of uncertainty for everyone connected to the club. On the positive side, owner Amar Alkadhi invested a further £50,000 during the season and the Cheshire East Council came to the rescue when they purchased the freehold of the Moss Rose providing a cash injection which helped to reduce the outstanding debt. As always, the main purpose of this chapter is to record the achievements of the football team, but a summary of the major off-field events is also included to provide as fuller a picture as possible.

  • THE SOUTHPORT STORY by Michael Braham
    A COMPLETE HISTORY OF SOUTHPORT FOOTBALL CLUB Compiled By Rob Urwin Southport FC Programme Editor 1 IN THE BEGINNING It was Thursday 12th November 1881 when Southport played its first Association Football match. Although association football had been played in the town's private schools in the late 1870’s the original Southport Football club began as a rugby team. The 'handling code” had been played competitively since 1872 in Southport and there were teams under the titles of Southport Olympic, Southport Wasps, Southport Hornets and The Grasshoppers. Southport Football Club, who had been in existence for some seasons, arranged rugby fixtures for 1881-82. After some heavy defeats, the last recorded being on 15th October when Wavertree prevailed, the club switched to association football. On 12th November, six of that team lined up when Southport played Bootle “second” in their first match under Association Rules. Bootle took the lead but Jackson shot “a capital goal to equalise” The Southport team was S Platt (Goal), B Pidduck, JG Howard (Backs) P.Edwards, F Jackson and TB Burnett(Captain) (Halves), JR Topliss and F Holden (Rights) W Platt (Centre) J Melross and J. Sykes (Lefts). The Southport Visiter commented “that the team will no doubt render a good account of themselves when they get over the difficulty of hands off and forget the rugby rules” The following week Southport lost by “one goal and one disputed goal to nil” at Burscough. Most of the club’s rugby players made the switch to the “round ball game” and Dalby, Irving and Morris were also lured over to soccer from Southport Hornets.

  • Macclesfield Town Football Club Return to the Non-League Scene Chapter Five So Near and Yet So
    MACCLESFIELD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB RETURN TO THE NON-LEAGUE SCENE CHAPTER FIVE Season 2016-2017 SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR BY GEOFFREY KNIGHTS OVERVIEW A relatively successful season reaching the second round of the Emirates FA Cup, runners-up in the Buildbase FA Trophy and ninth in the Vanarama National League, one place higher than the 2015-16 season. Third position had been attained in the league in October but this status could not be maintained with ninth position consolidated throughout the last three months of the season. Additional funds helped the club throughout the season from cup receipts including one live televised match, sale of three players together with monies raised from the 2016-17 Campaign Fund. Attendances for home league matches fell to an average of 1456 per match compared to 1598 for the 2015-16 season, within this figure there was a reduction in both the number of home and away supporters. However, the town well and truly backed the club when over 7500 supporters attended the Buildbase Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium. The overall financial position of the club continued to improve with additional funding provided by the Silkmen Supporters’ Trust and through the Super Silk Lotto, with the owner stating that he anticipated a more or less breakeven position to be achieved for the financial year. OFF-FIELD Club Officials There were four major appointments during the past year Rob Heys - appointed General Manager bringing with him 15 years of experience at Accrington Stanley in a similar role. Carole Griffiths – appointed as Office Administrator.

    City Fans United / Chester FC – Board appointments – AGM 2015 Candidate Manifesto The order of the candidates has been selected at random by the independent scrutineer Ed Jones Nominated by Tracey Smith and Arthur Keen I am 41 years old, was born and brought up in Mickle Trafford Chester and have supported Chester FC for 33 years. I am married to Jane and have a daughter named Tilly who is 6 years old. I work locally in Pulford for a company called Card One Banking where I work within their Customer Services Team. In my spare time as well as supporting my beloved Chester FC, I enjoy spending time with my Family and enjoy exercising regularly. Recently, as many of you will know, I’ve been on a massive personal weight loss drive and I have managed to lose over 5 stones in just 26 weeks. In doing this I have completed both the 28 mile Trans Pennine Mighty Hike from Manchester to Sheffield and the 22 mile Gower Macmaraphon in Swansea. In completing these Charity Hikes I have completed fundraising and have raised £2000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. My support of Chester FC began some 33 years ago when my Grandad first took me to games at the Club’s former Sealand Road Stadium. I was only 8 years old back then, but from the very first game I was hooked. I have had the pleasure to witness so many good players pull on the blue and white stripes of this fine Club of ours, particular favourites are Andy Holden, Stuart Rimmer, Milton Graham and Daryl Clare.
