Re: The Complete Alf D'Arcy
From the Sutton & Epsom Advertiser Thursday 28th August 1952 SUTTON HAD FORWARD WEAKNESSES SUTTON UNITED 1 HITCHIN 2 It may be hard to believe, but Hitchin, the wooden spoonists of last season, opened their Athenian League programme at Sutton by creating the biggest surprise of the day (writes W...

Re: Prediction - LEAMINGTON
Strange that Pipeman's match report mentions the 50/51 season as being the worst. 51/52 was far worse. Taking league games only in 50/51 we had 18 points from 30 games (30%). In 51/52 11 points from 30 games (18.33%). I agree there were 20 defeats in 50/51 (18 league 2 other). In 51/52 we suffered 2...

The Complete Alf D'Arcy
Hitchin were struggling in the very early 50s. A five game cameo by Alf D'Arcy before he went on to greater things with Barnet helped raise the gloom, perhaps. Match 1: 29th April 1952 (at the end of HTFC's worst-ever season!) Herts Charity Cup Final. Hitchin 1 Barnet 4. Match 2: 23rd August 1952. A...

Dunstable Town 3 London Lions 2
With both teams stuck in mid-table, I was pleased that they went at it hammer and tongs; a fine advert for Step 5 South Midlands League football. 1-2 down with 5 minutes to play, Town conjured up two late goals to edge the match. Crosses win matches. In the first half Town were being constantly pull...

Re: An absolute gentleman
A gentleman, indeed. Smiles and kind words shared with the fans will be remembered fondly. Hard to believe that his first games were with the likes of Tony Luff, Steve Miller, Paul Giggle and the late John Woodward. (Fishponder Stats are so entertaining!)

Re: That Losing Habit
In 1950/51 we lost 24 of 30 matches, with a longest run of consecutive League defeats being 13. Our present team have a great chance to avoid matching that record run?

Re: Prediction - BROMSGROVE
Perhaps our team should wear Norwegian Blue shirts for the rest of this now dead season?

Dick Walker: Angling Superstar.
A fine display at North Herts Museum in Brand Street of the life and works of Dick Walker (who was born in Fishponds Road).
The 'Ranji' Adams (Hitchin FC Hall of Famer) display is also still on show there and is well worth a visit.

Re: Daniel idiakhoa
Both Daniel and Arnold scored for AFC yesterday. Anyone needing a footie fix when they can't get to a Hitchin match would find a visit to Creasey Park a good choice. Goals there are scored at both ends.......................... Such a shame that Daniel will be remembered by the fans for letting the ...
