  • Prescot E Programme
    WELCOME! We would like to extend a very warm welcome to our visitors this afternoon as PRESCOT CABLES AFC provide the opposition for this Pitching In Northern Premier League N/West Division Match. The Players, Team Management, Officials and supporters of our opponents are most welcome after making the long and tedious journey from Merseyside. The two Clubs met only once last season before proceedings were prematurely halted during March. On a boiling-hot early September Saturday, Dunston made their first ever visit to Volair Park in Prescot and fell behind to a third minute goal. The hosts had cashed in on a defensive slip and despite having plenty of time to rectify things, Dunston failed to put things right and were unable to breach a solid home rear guard. The 1 - 0 defeat provided a harsh lesson and a wake-up call as to how hard our new League would prove to be. The return game at the UTS Stadium fell victim to the atrocious weather conditions during February and was postponed on three occasions due to a frozen or waterlogged pitch. We also extend a warm welcome to our Match Officials this afternoon, Sam Parnaby who travels from Bishop Auckland and his Assistant Referees Daniel Van Hymus from Jarrow and Mark McMahon from Hebburn. Our FA Match Observer is Paul Newhouse who comes from Peterlee. Supporters old and new are very well appreciated and we hope you enjoy your visit to the UTS Stadium this afternoon. If you require any help or information about the Club and facilities, please do not hesitate to contact any Management Committee Member.

Cover design by Bob Budd. DEDICATION In loving memory of Arthur Woodcock (1919-2001), a family friend and former player with Nelson FC, who kindly took me, when a schoolboy, to Seedhill to watch him play in season 1946-47. Printed and bound by 4Edge, Hockley, Essex www.4edge.co.uk ISBN: 978-1-905891-29-0 AUTHOR’S PREFACE My earliest memories of football include a visit to Seedhill in season 1946-47. I was just twelve years old at the time, and staying during school holidays with my grandparents at nearby Colne. Sadly, Nelson’s opponents – whose name eludes me but who played in white shirts and dark shorts – managed to frustrate the best efforts of Nelson’s fair-haired inside-forward, Arthur Woodcock, as I looked on from behind the goals, hoping for a successful strike from my much admired ‘Uncle Arthur’.

  • A Complete History of Southport Football Club
    A COMPLETE HISTORY OF SOUTHPORT FOOTBALL CLUB Compiled By Rob Urwin Southport FC Programme Editor 1 IN THE BEGINNING It was Thursday 12 th 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 15 th October when Wavertree prevailed, the club switched to association football. On 12 th 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.
