The Kingfishers’ Top Scorer in the 2013/14 & 2014/15 Seasons, and Has Represented Many Clubs Across the Region Including Marlow, Slough Town and Oxford City T H E K I N G F I S H E R T H A T C H A M T O W N F O O T B A L L C L U B ' S O F F I C I A L M A T C H D A Y M A G A Z I N E S E A S O N 2 0 2 0 / 2 1 # 0 2 - P A U L T O N R O V E R S T H E B I G M A T C H THATCHAM TOWN v PAULTON ROVERS Saturday 19th September 2020 Pitching In Southern Football League Division 1 South Last weekend, while Thatcham were eliminated from the Emirates FA Cup by AFC Dunstable, Paulton suffered a surprise defeat at Saltash Town. The Cornish team, who play in the South West Peninsular League won 1-0. When the Southern League was terminated last season, Paulton sat in seventh place and had a fair chance of reaching the play-offs. At the end of August Thatcham won 2-1 at Winterfield Road, with Joe Selman and Jordan Williams scoring after David Sims-Burgess put Rovers ahead. The return fixture at the Stacatruc Stadium was not played. In the 2018/19 season Town completed the double over Paulton, winning both games 1-0. Adam Kelly scored an injury time winner here, while Kyle Tooze netted in Somerset. The previous meetings between the club came during 2013/14 when Paulton won 3-0 in Berkshire, then 4-0 at home, on their way to winning promotion via the play-offs. In midweek, Thatcham face a difficult trip to Cirencester, while Paulton host Bideford. MATCH SPONSORS To sponsor a match, the match ball, or be the mascot for a Thatcham Town home game, please speak with the club's Commercial Manager, Ben Harte. T H E M A N A G E R ' S N O T E S Good afternoon and welcome to today's Pitching In Southern Football League D1 South fixture. I would like to welcome the players, officials and supporters of Paulton Rovers and wish you all a safe journey home this evening. I would also like to welcome today's match officials, who are Mr Perry, Mr Malyon, Mr Turner and Mr Ford. There’s nothing more exciting than the first league game of the season and that’s how we feel today. We start our league campaign with optimism, no fear, and ready to face what lies ahead. Let's be under no illusions - it will be a tough season for us all as we go into it with a new group, but what we ask is that as a club we all stick together, keep believing in the team, and remaining as positive as we can throughout. We win together, we lose together! We aim to surprise a few people and we’re confident that we will do exactly that. Last weekend's game saw us on the end of a disappointing result. Having started the game well, to give away a very soft goal from a corner and then a second on the stroke of half time was very naïve. The third goal, which arguably was offside, sucked the life out of the team which was the most disappointing thing for us on the day, and the last two goals were inevitable as our energy and desire waivered. Whilst with the ball we looked competent, we felt we were too easy to score against. We won’t make any excuses, the performance was below what we expect from this group, the boys have been reminded of our standards and we have worked hard this week to correct some of the issues which were very much of our own doing. We have an honest group of lads who recognise this and they will be back today giving everything to fight for the points. We won’t stand still and are working to improve the squad as it is evident we do need to add some experience. As I write these notes we are 50/50 in hoping to get a signing over the line for Paulton. We continue to trust these lads, and as said before just ask you to get behind each and every one of them. Today sees us take on Paulton Rovers. They were a top 6 side last year so will provide a difficult test. We’re ready for the challenge and hope it’s an enjoyable game. Thank for you for your support, Jamie T H A T C H A M ' S M A N A G E M E N T Jamie Leacock (Manager) A former Kingfishers captain, who was the club's right-back in its early Southern League days.

The Road to Fame Or Failure? . 206 Chapter 1 The Demise S a teenager, Thomas Morgan, from inner-city Dublin, had Sir Alex Ferguson in his living room, A trying to persuade the 15-year-old midfielder to abandon his plans to join Blackburn Rovers. They were emerging as title rivals to Ferguson’s Manchester United and he was keen for Morgan to move to Old Trafford. Morgan chose Blackburn, signing for the Ewood Park side in 1994. A year later, Blackburn won their one and only Premier League title. But despite training with the league-winning squad, and making the bench for league and European matches, Morgan found himself released – and without a club – almost three years later. It was only weeks before captaining the Ireland Under-20s to a third-place finish in the 1997 World Championships in Malaysia. Put simply, Morgan fell by the wayside as Blackburn – and their Premier League rivals – regularly shunned the promotion of youth in favour of big-money signings. The 19 WHERE HAVE ALL THE IRISH GONE? birth of the Premier League in 1992 ushered in an era of stellar signings, compounded by the Bosman ruling in 1995, which removed obstacles to foreign players playing in England – a double whammy which would change the fortunes of Irish players for ever.

It was only their second World Cup appearance and they have not been back since. It took Turkey ten attempts to qualify for their first UEFA European Championship final tournament, and after losing all three matches at EURO '96 they reached the quarter-finals at UEFA EURO 2000 under Mustafa Denizli. They went one step further eight years later in Austria/ Switzerland, a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Croatia putting Fatih Terim's team into the semi-finals, where they lost 3-2 to Germany. After missing out in Poland/Ukraine, they returned to the finals at UEFA EURO 2016 by qualifying as the best third-placed side over the nine preliminary sections.
