This is brilliant - do you mind if I tweet from Forward The Hamlet?Dulwich Hamlet FC tour of Holland/Germany 1912
According to the Hamlet Historian -
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)

Are we playing palace this pre-season?.
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
