Tony White
Jamaican born Tony joined Wimbledon FC in 1972/73 while still at school, and played at youth, reserve and first team level in that same season, becoming the first black player to wear a Wimbledon shirt, as well as playing twice for England u18's (against Wales and Scotland).
He joined West Ham, signing pro forms in September 1973/74. After a couple of years in the reserves, as understudy to Alvin Martin and Billy Bonds, he played briefly in Belgium. Returning to England he picked up a serious knee injury, but continued to play at non-league level, with Slough, Sutton United, Dulwich Hamlet, Bromley and Tooting & Mitcham.

The very same Roy who inadvertently set the rhythm/beat to the creation of "you make me feel...pink and blue...pink and blue..." by Rob at East Thurrock away circa 2014.
(And also scored a few goals a few years before!)

Just stumbled on this forum and its full of pure nostalgia. Any one on here remember Ted Shepherd ? I noted him on the mid60s team group. I know he went on to become Croydon manager for many years. Anyone have any info on his playing career ?

Played one first team appearance for Dulwich Hamlet (at Lewes) in 2003 ( a game that kicked off an hour late due to delayed Hamlet coach)
scored on his debut for the Hamlet Youth team against Chipstead "with a stunning free kick"

That was a baptism of fire. We weren't in the best of form, coach arrived late and it was crash, bang, wallop, kick off!
I was there that evening and think we lost 4-0.......

Front row third left. He looks exactly the same except for the false moustache. I thought Alan Simpson was Primo at first!

This looks like a Dulwich youth team from the 1950s. Reg Merritt top left.

Hamlet Historian - It must also be pointed out that Edgar Kail was a representative for a Scottish distillery company, spending three decades on the road until his retirement on New Year’s Eve (Hogmanay) 1965. His love of Scotland was such that soon afterwards he migrated north of the border with his son Colin, settling in Glasgow, moving to Largs and Skelmorlie, Ayrshire where he died from a stroke in 1976.

A.E. "Bert" Kimber
Mishi called him "The greatest Dulwich supporter that ever lived"
Super Hamlet fan from 1921 onwards
not missed a single home or away game in 32 years (up to 1953)
article 23 February 1953
"To see Mr Kimber donning his war paint as he approaches enemy territory is indeed an awesome sight!. First his gigantic pink and blue scarf is assumed, followed by a cap of the same hue, then with banner inscribed "Up the Hamlet" and big bell, he enters the visiting ground"
DHFC Supports newsletter "The Bushwacker" No1- August 1984
Norwood News - Friday 17 September 1965
ONE of the staunchest of staunch Dulwich Hamlet Supporters, Bert Kimber. has recently given up the job he has held with the club since 1928 . . . that of organising the coaches and transport for travel to away matches. Since 1928 Bert has faithfully arranged the travel facilities and even during the war years he battled on with his task.
He organised 13 coaches and 8 buses to take supporters to the Amateur Cup semi final against Corinthian at Stamford Bridge
