Dulwich Hamlet History Notes

Would love to see a Dulwich hamlet shirt history like this

I'm working on an Altona 93 version since a year, now. It isn't as easy as I thought. There are a lot of gaps and questions and it's hard to get the tones of old black and white photos...

Inspired by PartisanDulwich over on twitter, I would like to use this to send all of you seasons greetings:




On this day 100 years ago Altona 93 played Bayern Munich in a friendly (1-3) in Altona, by the way.

Was going through an old enquiry and thought @pioneers_book might like these images. Hussein Hegazi playing for a joint Oxford/Cambridge team against Chelsea in 1914, as covered in their grand book. Love the Bernard Hugh cartoon.

Does anyone know more about the 'blue' Kail and 'darker' Coleman card?

I've got a Jonas Cabinet sized card here and it's still my plan to write an article about it for the Hamlet Historian...

March 1925 (above news report)




From Wimbledon Historical don site Bill Caesar
(1920/21)

Bill Caesar, born in 1899, is one of only a couple of Dons to have merited an obituary in Wisden!

Like his brother, Eric - who joined Wimbledon in 1929, he started with Dulwich Hamlet, playing alongside school friend Edgar Kail during the Great War, while those of fighting age were away in France. He played a handful of matches for Wimbledon in the club's second season in the Athenian League before returning to the Hamlet.

He won amateur caps against South Africa at Tottenham in November 1924 and against Ireland at Maidstone in 1925, and also toured Australia with the English F.A. XI in 1925 - playing in the 2-0 win in the final match of 5 against the Australian international side - and in 1929 with Dulwich.

Bill then played for The Amateurs against The Professionals (The Amateurs won 6-1) in the 1925 Charity Shield, also at White Hart Lane.

He then started wandering, joining Brentford as captain of their reserve side, making his Football League début at Fulham in October 1929 at the age of almost 30.

In March 1931, when Hayes was hopelessly behind with its league fixtures because of its success in cups, he joined as cover for the fixture back-log, doubtless at the instigation of his younger brother. As chance would have it, Alf Butcher, the regular left-half, was injured in the Middlesex Senior Cup final only five days before the Amateur Cup final, so Bill Caesar was obliged to play. With only ten minutes of normal time to play and the score goalless, a scrimmage took place in front of the Hayes goal, and a hand, that of Bill Caesar, was seen by the referee to push the ball away. Penalty. Goal. Defeat at the last hurdle, and all attributable to Bill Caesar. All in all, he played only three games for Hayes, for certain (because of the need to play nine league matches in the last three weeks of the season, some went unreported).

He later played for Kingstonian (1933-4), Harwich (1936) and Barking (1938), as well as for Darlington, Fulham and Walsall.

All of this is extraordinary enough, but the reason for his entry in Wisden is even more so. He first played for Surrey, his home county, in 1922, when he was described as 'a distinctly quick bowler'. But he did not make his next appearance in the County Championship until 1946, for Somerset, when he took 10 wickets in three matches at an average of 25.2. The gap of 24 years between appearances has only been once exceeded.

He died in April 1988.

We learned today of the passing of Leslie Brown.

He donned the Pink n Blue between 1956 and 1961 making 227 appearances and scoring 121 goals.

To his family and friends we send our sincere condolences.

RIP Leslie
