The Football Echo in Poole would have reports on the local Dorset League Teams by the time it came out early Saturday Evening in the late 1950's. Their own websites cannot do this today despite improved communications.
The queues at Brighton's ground for the Park and Ride are terrible and you have to wait ages .Bad if it is raining. It used to take us ages to get back to Ordinance Survey Park and Ride too after SMS matches particularly f the coach driver did not have Radio 5 live on.I gave upon this in the end.
Derek also scored loads for Bournemouth Gasworks who played at Alder Road Poole. One of the best pitches in the area in the late 1950's. Now has houses thereon.
Charles Buchan's Football Monthly Goal Keeping Manuel Christmas edition:
Goalkeepers should not move off their line until the opposing player with the ball moves into the penalty area to strike. He then maximises his height and can move out to narrow the angle. He should always try to put himself in a position to move forward for the ball and never have to move or jump backwards.
Played well yesterday and is a very good player. Has been working hard in training to get back in the team. I expect he will be out jogging on Christmas Day as in previous years to keep his fitness up.
