Wick Academy (stripes) in Highland League action against Fort William. Wick are the UK's most northerly senior football club and have emerged in recent seasons as a strong force in the Highland League. Now that there is to be a feeder system in Scotland (HL Champions v new Lowland League champions, followed by a play off v the team finishing bottom of the Scottish Football League) it may be that we see Wick on the pools card in a few seasons.
We won't be seeing Fort William in the SFL anytime soon- they are the San Marino of the Highland League, amateur, and forever finishing bottom of the table, by at least several nautical miles. It is impossible to lure young men away from their catchment area's no. 1 sport- shinty.

Montrose Roselea juniors playing a home match in the Eastern Region (North) division, against Downfield juniors of Dundee (I think).
pulling a face in the green of Roselea is Calum Watson, a burly and prolific centre forward who didn't quite make it at senior level.
Not one of ours mate - Leicestershire benefited from the late Balders' services including:
Chris Balderstone in action for Carlisle United in the 70s. Balderstone was part of the only Carlisle team that spent one season in the old first division (74 / 75). He was also one of the rare breed who played pro football *and* first class cricket. Today he is better remembered for his long career at Gloucestershire and as a first class cricket umpire.
"Balderstone made history on 15 September 1975 by taking part in a County Championship match and a Football League game on the same day. Balderstone was 51 not out against Derbyshire at the end of day two of Leicestershire's match at Chesterfield. After close of play he changed into his football kit to play for Doncaster Rovers in an evening match 30 miles away (a 1-1 draw with Brentford). He then returned to Chesterfield the following morning to complete a century the and take three wickets to help wrap up Leicestershire's first ever County Championship title."
County Ground fans are still dressed by Matalan last time I checked

Nelson FC, of NWCL Division One, celebrate going top of the league after beating Cheadle Town.
Nelson, a Lancashire cotton town, were in the Football League in the 20s but disappeared during the early 30s (Great Depression, collapse in cotton prices, etc). They have bumbled about non league ever since, with their former Football League ground at Seedhill now under the M65 motorway.

...isn't as good as Lewisham.
The parents of Jimmy Mixen (millwall) & Rob Knox (Charlton) put rivalry a side to commentate their sons and promote their respective charities who's aim is to reduce night and gun crime amongst teenagers in South London. Both teams played in shirts which had an anti-gun and knife crime logo on it in place of their sponsors. The third division game finished 4-4 in front of 20k spectators.
Bristol c*ty and Bristol Rovers prepare for kick off in the Ashton Gate derby of February 2007. Having been separated in League status since Rovers' relegation in May 2001, this was a massive occasion for the city as the two clubs faced off in the area final of the Johnstones Paint Trophy. A sold out Ashton Gate crowd of around 19,000 saw a disappointing (for c*ty) 0-0 draw. The return leg in Horfield finished 1-0 to Rovers, Rickie Lambert netting the goal that took the Gas to the final in Cardiff against Doncaster Rovers. Obviously, Rickie would struggle to top this night for the rest of his career.
In a remarkable season for Bristol football, c*ty went up to the second tier in May, finishing second in their division, whilst Rovers won promotion at Wembley following an epic run from 17th place in March. Both sides have since been relegated again.
The next competitive Bristol derby wasn't until last week, when c*ty beat Rovers 2-1 at Ashton Gate in front of over 18,000 in the first round of the same competition.

Bobby Moncur scores for Newcastle United against Ujpest Dozsa at St James' Park, Fairs Cup 1969. (Newcastle won 3 nowt).
The captains, officials and mascots line up for the last ever Bristol derby to be held at Eastville Stadium in 1986. Bobby Hutchinson of c*ty and Vaughan Jones of Rovers led their sides to a 1-1 draw in front of 9,992 on 22nd April. Steve Neville put c*ty ahead before John Scales equalised for Rovers with ten minutes left.
Players involved in the match included Gerry Francis, Gary Penrice, Nicky Tanner, Steve White and the aforementioned Scales for Rovers and Keith Curle and David Moyes pulling the red shirt on. The houses in the background are those on Stapleton Road, exposed in 1981 when the South Stand burned down. Two weeks later, Rovers played their last ever game at the ground against Chesterfield before departing for a ten year exile at Twerton Park - ironically now seen as something of a golden era for the club!

Eastville Stadium, field of dreams. South Stand on the left, North Stand on the right. Tote End straight ahead and the camera sits on the Muller Road End. Greyhound racing track round the outside of the pitch. The Tote End roof was home to the betting totaliser clocks (hence the name) and also home to Rovers' most fearsome and vocal fans. You'll still see Tote graffiti around the city now, hear Tote chants at games, especially in that section of the Blackthorn End where the old veterans gather.
Tote End up close, sometime in the 1970s I think.
And here's a shot of the Tote End showing how the roof overhung it.
All gone now

Barrie Meyer of Bristol Rovers scores in front of the Muller Road End during Rovers' 4-0 defeat of Manchester United on 7 January 1956 in the FA Cup third round. Rovers were in the Second Division at the time whilst United were on their way to the First Division title. The Busby Babes were victims of one of the all time great Cup shocks, Alfie Biggs scoring twice and Geoff Bradford once as Rovers' greatest ever side triumphed in front of over 35,000 at Eastville.
One of the huge gas holders which gave the Pirates their later nickname of the Gas can be seen in the background. Barrie Meyer himself went on to a long career in football with Rovers, Plymouth, Newport and Bristol's second team and kept wicket for Gloucestershire before becoming a Test umpire. He stood in the 1979 and 1983 World Cup Finals at Lord's as well as England's improbable victory over Australia at Headingley in 1981.

future crisp salesman-in-chief Gary Lineker in action for Leicester in 1984, against Aston Villa. The Villa player is the perma-headbanned Steve Foster, in a rare appearance- he only turned out 15 times for Villa, later becoming a mainstay of Luton's top flight sides.

And here he is in more familiar Luton shirt:

Luton had just beaten Arsenal 3-2 in the 1988 league cup final - Foster captained the team, Andy Dibble in the middle saved a penalty when we were 2-1 down, and Brian Stein scored two of our three goals (Danny Wilson got the other.)
