Dulwich Hamlet FC tour of Holland/Germany 1912

According to the Hamlet Historian Jack McInroy -

At the start of the Easter holiday weekend of 1913, the Dulwich Hamlet football team set off for a short continental tour. This was nothing new, in fact it had become customary over the previous five seasons – four tours to the Netherlands and one to Germany.

The team included
Coleman, Clegg, Wight, Popple, Carson, Hegazi, Clarkson and Green played in all three matches. Knight, Smart, Barker and Lawrence played in two. Hagger played in one.

Hussein Hegazi was Dulwich Hamlet's, Egyptian inside right,

Hussein Hegazi (14 September 1891 – 8 October 1961) was the first African player to play competitively in England (Dulwich Hamlet from 1911-1914 and once for Fulham in 1911)

Slightly mad plan to move Greenwich Borough FC to the old Gaelic sports ground on the New Eltham/Sidcup border and get them in the Conference within six years. I admire their optimism (and ground plan looks interesting) but suspect they'll struggle to achieve all that: http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/1...venate_troubled_New_Eltham_ground/?ref=twtrec

Good luck to them, that place has been left empty for years (although it was recently occupied but the recent occupiers didn't stay long and moved on!!), it mentions a housing company have also put in planning permission to build new homes, the local residents have already fought this off a couple of times and would much prefer the football ground there!!

Wow & wow! For both!

That's the best image I've ever seen of the old, old Champion Hill...which is, incidentally, EXACTLY on the site of where we want our proposed new ground on the so-called 'precious never been built on' open space where the all-weather pitch is, behind the Greendale End of our current ground.
