Chester-Le-Street Town v Knaresborough Town 3:00pm Cleethorpes Town v Loughborough University 3:00pm The 1986/87 season saw Town produce their best ever Cup run when they reached the Consett v Thackley 3:00pm Hemsworth Miners Welfare v Parkgate 3:00pm QUARTER FINAL stage of the FA VASE, eventually bowing out by 2 goals to 1 to the Louth Town v Aylestone Park 3:00pm Essex based side Collier Row.

Handsworth Parramore v Nostell Miners Welfare 3:00pm Liversedge v Heanor Town 3:00pm The 1996/97 season brought a NCE Division One runners-up spot as well as a Cup Final Tadcaster Albion v Barton Town Old Boys 3:00pm win when Town lifted The Wilkinson Sword Trophy by defeating Eccleshill United over NCEL Division One two legs.

They won the West Riding County Cup, beating Eccleshill United 2-0, as well as the Northern Counties East League Cup with a 3 -1 victory over First Division side Glapwell in the final at Ossett Albion’s ground.

Success that season was not confined to the First Team. Town’s Under 18 side won the Leeds & District Championship at their first attempt and several of the side also made Tuesday 26th August, 2014 their debut for the First Team. A sign that Town’s youth policy is starting to bear fruit. NCEL Premier Division Shaw Lane Aquaforce 4 - 0 Staveley Miners Welfare Att 181 Dave Parker retired as manager following the League Cup final after six years at the NCEL Division One helm. He was the best and most successful manager Town has ever had.

NCEL Premier Division Albion Sports 3 - 2 Worksop Town Att 153 His time in charge at Town saw him having to guide a young and inexperienced side Athersley Recreation 1 - 2 Heanor Town Att through difficult times before being replaced towards the end of the 2001/2002 season Bridlington Town 1 - 1 Pickering Town Att 200 as manager by Dave Holmes. Despite the hopes for better as the previous season’s young squad had more experience and had also been augmented with experienced Saturday 30th August, 2014 players, in the 2002/2003 season Town finished bottom of the NCEL Premier Division FA Cup Preliminary Round and relegated to Division 1. Armthorpe Welfare v Marske United 3:00pm Bridlington Town v Northallerton Town 3:00pm Simon Clifford who ran the Brazilian Soccer Schools then took over as owner of the Club Carlton Town v Handsworth Parramore 3:00pm Clipstone v Loughborough University 3:00pm and after a shaky start to the 2004/05 season took over as manager guiding the club to Farsley AFC v Athersley Recreation 3:00pm promotion back to the NCEL Premier - the 1st step of his ambition to take Town all the Garforth Town v Harrogate Railway 3:00pm way up the football pyramid. The season also saw the Miners take the National limelight Gresley v Cleethorpes Town 3:00pm with former Brazilian International Socrates making his Garforth Town debut, alongside Knaresborough Town v West Allotment Celtic 3:00pm former Manchester United player Lee Sharpe. Maltby Main v Glossop North End 3:00pm Northwich Victoria v AFC Emley 3:00pm Clifford went onto achieve the clubs then highest ever finish in the 2005/06 season of Rainworth Miners Welfare v Staveley Miners Welfare 3:00pm eleventh in the Northern Counties East League.

Liversedge v Nostell Miners Welfare 3:00pm Parkgate v Glasshoughton Welfare 3:00pm Seasons 2008/09 & 2009/10 saw Town’s league position stabilize, however they were Thackley v Shaw Lane Aquaforce 3:00pm more successful in cup competitions victorious in the West Riding County Senior Cup in Worksop Town v Pickering Town 3:00pm both seasons. Town finished a creditable 13th in season 2010/11, the highlight being a NCEL Division One st Dronfield Town v Lincoln Moorlands Railway 3:00pm famous victory in the last game of the season over 1 Division North Champions, Chester Eccleshill United v Shirebrook Town 3:00pm in front of their record highest crowd of 2428. 2011/12 saw Town under manager Steve Grimsby Borough v Hemsworth Miners Welfare 3:00pm Nichol reach their highest league finish when a final day victory over Skelmersdale Utd Louth Town v Bottesford Town 3:00pm resulted in a 5th place finish and a trip to Curzon Ashton in the play-offs. However despite Penistone Church v Hallam 3:00pm being the better side, Town bowed out on penalties. Pontefract Collieries v Worsbrough Bridge Athletic 3:00pm Selby Town v Rossington Main 3:00pm A disappointing season followed in 2012/13 with the resignation of Nichol and disbanding Teversal v AFC Mansfield 3:00pm Yorkshire Amateur v Hall Road Rangers 3:00pm of the first team squad resulting in Town being relegated back to the NCEL Premier Division. 2013 saw Simon Clifford’s ownership came to an end, and a new Management Sunday 31st August, 2014 Committee was formed with a major sponsorship from RIASA assisting with the FA Cup Preliminary Round rebuilding process.

Age - 26 Teams played for – Selby Town, Glasshoughton, Yorkshire Amateurs How would you describe yourself as a footballer – Terrible, hence why I have ended up between the sticks. I have the speed of Ian Harte and the skill of Titus Bramble… Best player played with – Jonny Evans (albeit in a 5-a-side friendly at uni) Best player played against – Peter Beardsley, absolutely unreal footballer. I’ve never seen a player beat so many lads half his age so easily… he still has it! Best Footballing moment – Apart from saving Sam Akeroyd’s penalty in the cup final for Seacroft (sorry pal, couldn’t help myself), I’d have to say rainbow flicking the ball over a strikers head at university… for someone with my footballing talent that was something else (if not a huge slice of luck!) Footballing ambitions – To officially make it onto a squad on Football Manager or failing that to play in a televised game Favourite Team – This could be contentious… Man United Last holiday – A lads trip to Benidorm… Favourite drink – Jack Daniels and Coke Favourite meal – Rare fillet steak & chips Last book read – Black Market by James Patterson Favourite music – A bit of 80’s cheese or failing that you can’t beat a bit of Take That… the iPod doesn’t go down well in the changing room! Favourite Tv programme – 24 Favourite movie – ‘Wolf on Wall Street’ an absolute must for any lad! Which newspaper (if any) do you read – Being a cheap skate I read the Metro on a morning at work (purely as it comes free with a breakfast!) How do you relax after a game – This has to be grabbing an ice cold beer from the fridge and then watching some trash TV on my huge L-shaped sofa (as can’t fit on normal sofa’s!) Any pre-match superstitions – Lots, and to be honest I don’t know Full Details on Towns Website many keepers that aren’t superstitious. To name just a few... I can never put my gloves on until after shaking the oppositions hand, I never warm up in the shorts I’ll wear in the match and I have to put my boot bag right in the middle of the goals. Pet hates – Anyone that tries to lob me in shooting practise… probably annoys me the most in a footballing sense (it’s going to happen all the time now at training!).

Who said that nostalgia is not what it used to be ( Oh, I think it was me !), well nostalgia was in abundance last Sunday here as the Garforth Town Legends day brought back a few faces and lot's of memories back Kev’s Column to haunt us. The biggest surprise was not the plethora of beards and larger waistbands but the brilliant sight of hero and legend, Brendan Ormsby taking to the pitch in a Town shirt again despite his recent health problems. He played for a short spell in the first half and then left the game to the rest of Town's old boys, who included former Town Manager Dave Harrison now employed at Premiership club Manchester City in a coaching role. Others involved were, Darren 'taff' Hamer, Richard Smith, Richard Ramsden, Chris Sullivan and ' super spuddy spud ' aka Dave Woodhead.

Thirty minutes each way in the heat seemed a trifle cruel on some of the gents who by their own admission had not pulled on their boots for over 10 years, but they all fared better than Socrates when he played here and in fact Taff seemed almost a reincarnation of the great Brazilian with his silver beard. The game ended with David Brown scoring what seemed like all the goals as his and Jamie Price's team of quite younger old boys secured the one off 'Spud' Taylor cup, although the real winners were everyone involved in an afternoon of pure nostalgia and indulgence of times past.

Of course as was usual in the good old days, supporters and players met in the bar to exchange stories and imbibe a drop of the hard stuff as the bar looked as busy as it used to be back then.It harked back to the days when fans and players used to mix together after games to chew over the previous 90 minutes. Smithy did own up to his part in ' Apple Pie Gate ' at Blidworth and Taff said that when the car taking them home from the game at Brodsworth finally ended up somewhere near Scotch Corner the occupants of the car thought it seemed a long way from Doncaster to Leeds, but as they were chatting and drinking they didn' t notice until it was too late!! It really was great to renew old friendships and have a good old natter about happy times past.

As for last weeks home defeat to Heanor Town, bl**dy hell they were big lads weren't they ! Town didn' t fold though and battled manfully against a really hard skilful side who look to be a good bet to be there or thereabouts come the end of the season. My only worry about the game came as I realised that our sub's bench consisted of 2 players one of whom was a goalkeeper, I don' t know the reason for this but it was a bit worrying.

Thanks for reading my assorted ramblings – see you at the next game.

See Darrell Stoker for further details

Page 28 Garforth Town v Harrogate RA 30/08/2014 The Club was formed in 1935 by workers at the Starbeck LNER depot and joined the local Harrogate League with some success and won the British Railways National Cup in 1946. They borrowed £1,500 from the LNER and more than 300 workers contributed one old penny per week to repay the loan. This money secured ownership of the current Station View site. The 1950s saw the club progress through the West Yorkshire League to the Yorkshire League and they made the second round proper of the FA Amateur Cup in 1953, going out 3-2 at Harwich & Parkstone, a special train conveying supporters to the tie. Sadly the loco sheds closed in 1959, subsequently affecting finances as many of the workers, and players, had to leave the area. Nevertheless, under the auspices of “Chick” Farr the club soldiered on through the sixties and they almost repeated their Amateur Cup exploits of the fifties when they made the first round proper in 1961 only to lose 4-2 at Whitley Bay. Another special train. In 1964 they won promotion to the first division of the Yorkshire League, then just three steps from the Football League itself, and made the Yorkshire League Cup Final, losing to Farsley Celtic after a replay. The late sixties and the seventies became a real struggle and Railway had to pull out of the Yorkshire League and return to the Harrogate League in 1973. This gave the club time to re-group and they were back in the Yorkshire League in 1980 becoming founder-members of the new NCEL League in 1982. Freddie Cliff steered the club to promotion from the second division (north) and won the League Cup with a 5-0 victory over Woolley Miners Welfare in the final. Meanwhile a new junior structure was formed, thanks to the work of John and Mary Lindsay and now Railway can boast one of the best junior set-ups in the region. In the 1990-91 season Railway made their first major impression in the FA Cup, Denis Metcalf steering his team to the fourth qualifying round. Future manager Martin Haresign actually played in the 3-1 defeat at Chorley. Floodlights were installed in 1991 and a strong Sheffield United side, including Vinnie Jones, provided the star opposition at the official opening. Management changes and more financial hardship hindered progress as the nineties wore on. However, Dave Fell joined as boss in 1998 and won the NCEL first division but he departed at the end of the same season, taking most of the side with him. Paul Marshall took the job on and, although it was a struggle, he kept Railway in the premier division. The club’s faith in him culminated in two amazing back-to-back FA Cup runs. The fourth qualifying round was reached for a second time in 2001, the run ending with a 3-2 defeat at home to Morecambe, the winner coming deep into injury time. A year later Railway went two better and, after a bewildering qualifying competition, the many who travelled to Berkshire witnessed a 2-1 win at Slough Town in the first round proper. The lowest-ranking club ever to reach the second round were drawn at home to Bristol City, top of the second division, the highest-ranking club in the competition at that stage. This was a fairy-tale tie. What’s more, Railway opted to play the game at home. Temporary stands adorned Station View, Sky TV beamed the game around the globe and the club was the focus of the football world for a couple of hours in December 2002. Bristol City were made to fight for their 3-1 win, Steve Davey netting with 17 minutes to go, but once again an injury-time goal sealed Railway’s fate. Unfortunately arguments over bonus payments clouded the experience

Page 14 Garforth Town v Harrogate RA 30/08/2014 Garforth Town v Harrogate RA 30/08/2014 Page 27 and, despite winning the NCEL President’s Cup, Paul Marshall was not reinstated. Leeds duo Dave Harrison and John Francis were appointed but, after just one win in 11 games and early exits from the FA competitions they stepped down and Martin Haresign was brought in to steady the ship and retain NCEL status. Railway finished in the top three in 2006 and achieved Northern Premier League (UniBond at the time) status, the vital victory at Sheffield probably the best display of the season. History had been made and the club was set to play at the highest level of the pyramid in its history. The first season in the UniBond League proved to confound the bookies who predicted a basement finish. A good start was built upon and the campaign ended in a mid-table finish. Unfortunately Martin had to relinquish managerial duties for business reasons but Vince Brockie and new assistant Dave Morgan carried on the good work. The following season’s league form proved to be rather erratic but Railway finished well clear of the relegation zone in the end. Incredibly, another mighty FA Cup run dominated and the little club from Yorkshire reached the second round proper for a second time. A battling home victory over then unbeaten rivals Harrogate Town was the undoubted highlight of the qualifying rounds before Blue Square side Droylsden were sent packing 2-0 in the first round. Mansfield Town came to Station View on a soggy Sunday and BBC Match Of The Day screened the game live this time, complete with Ray Stubbs. Mark Lawrenson and Jonathan Pearce. Mansfield won 3-2 but not before two second-half goals from Danny Davidson gave them late scares. Assistant manager Dave Morgan was promoted to manager for the following season but found life difficult, gleaning only 2 points from the first 36. He resigned and in his place came Phil Sharpe and Richard Chattoe - between them they staved off fears of relegation and looked for consolidation in the future. However, last season’s start was not one of the best and Christmas saw Railway again languishing at the bottom end of the table but an influx of good, battling players pulled the club away from the drop-zone. Richard Chattoe left mid-season and Nigel Danby came in as Phil’s assistant. However, Phil resigned at the end of the season and, during the summer, Nigel was appointed as manager, bringing in Mick Norbury as his right hand man. Nigel and Mick’s reign lasted just short of two seasons as they flirted with relegation in both years. In came a ‘Management Team’ of Alan Parkes, Dennis Metcalfe, Bob Moffat & Steve Donoghue to replace them. Despite valiant efforts in the last six League games Rail found themselves in the bottom 2 when the season finished. Thankfully Rail were reprieved due to Durham City taking voluntary relegation and Woodley Sports being relegated due to a Ground Regulation ruling. The 2012-13 season started with the new management team of ex-Liversedge manager – Billy Miller and his assistant ex-Railway favourite Lee Ashworth in charge. Although most of the players were from a league below us it was a struggle to start with but things came good with a brand of football that hadn’t been seen at Station View for some time and by the end of the season Rail had finished in 18th position with a total of 41 points – well clear of the relegation zone. In addition Harrogate Railway finished with the best Discipline record not only in the Northern part of the League but in all 3 Evo-Stik leagues. A far cry from the previous 3 seasons were a visit to Lancaster Gate was definitely on the cards

Page 16 Garforth Town v Harrogate RA 30/08/2014 Garforth Town v Harrogate RA 30/08/2014 Page 25 Welcome all to this afternoon’s game…. …. the last meeting between the two sides was back in our Evo-Stik League days, on 9th March last year. Rail were 2-1 winners, despite a goal from top scorer Haven’t We Brett Mbalanda. The striker finished top Met Before scorer that season with 12 goals and went on to play for Trafford.

Town team: Senior, McLean, Villerman, Gbemie (Oniama 79), Eiselt, C. Kamara ©, Lonsdale (Richards-Shade 84), Boote, Young, D. Blair, Mbalanda (Redfern 90).

The Miners won 3-2 at Station View (where we’ll head on Monday evening should today’s game end in a draw) just over two months earlier. This was one of just four victories the Miners managed that season. Goals in that game came from Max Leonard and Nathan Dwyer (2); Dwyer has since gone on to sign for our visitors and may well line up against his old team today. After a few years of fighting relegation the North Yorkshire side finished comfortably in mid-table in the Evo-Stik North Division in 2013-14. At 47 games played it could well be we’ve played Rail more than any other team. Despite the large number, results remain evenly poised overall with 19 victories each, although Town still have the better of those played at home.

On this Day…. 30th August 2010 – Garforth drew 0-0 at Durham City. It was the first point of the season and one which came as some relief after a disastrous first week of the season which saw league defeats to today’s visitors and Witton Albion followed by an FA Cup exit to then lower division Tadcaster Albion. A first victory followed nearly two weeks later, against Salford City.

Town team: Wood, Turner, Fisher, Normaschild, Pacey, Price, Ormsby, Aujla, Walker, Howarth, D. Blair. Subs: Small, Priestley, Fella, Villerman, D. Greaves.
