History Books

For the first time since we started the podcast, we had organised to record with a guest and he was unable to attend due to illness. Nipper made a couple of calls, but at short notice we were not able to get anyone to chat with so he suggested that he wanted to have a chat about some of the little treasures he has been able to resurrect from the family archives. Since we had dedicated the time and the old saying goes that the show must go on, I thought - why not? And I am very pleased that we went to the trouble because Nipper was able to present a couple of absolute gems from the past that might escape the attention of the members and followers of the club had we not recorded them here. This is a general chat that reveals a report of one of the club’s earliest matches, some of musings of a much younger current senior club official and reveals the origins of one of the supporter’s favourite features in the club. We hope you enjoy our readings from the history books. Who Knows? It may evolve into a segment of the show.
