On This Day in 1967
Stuart Davies is out of picture as his shot beats Chelmsford goalkeeper Brian King to give the Dons the lead in the 21st minute of a vital Southern League fixture at Plough Lane. Having dropped to second place after three defeats over Easter, a terrible error by the normally reliable Roy Law eventually cost Wimbledon another point. With two minutes to go the long serving centre half sliced an attempted clearance past a startled Frank Smith in the home goal.

As the Premier League clubs grew richer 30 years ago, little Wimbledon struggled to survive. Despite a good start to the 1995-96 season, an alarming autumn slump saw the Dons flirting with relegation before victories at Stamford Bridge and Highbury within a four-day period over Christmas lifted some of the gloom. Progressing through to the FA Cup 5th round, only a late, late equaliser from Efan Ekoku at Huddersfield kept hopes alive before a memorable quarter final with Chelsea. Four wins in the five games after a replay defeat ensured survival for another year. Every match is celebrated with the memories of Ekoku and many others in the latest edition of the Historical Don.

On sale from outside the club shop at the Luton, Plymouth and Huddersfield games for just £2. With printing costs soaring, the price will increase next year so grab it while you can.

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

Elys of Wimbledon is 150yrs old this year. Not been in there for years (pre 88). Last time only remembered because they had every other Div 1 shirt except ours. Sold out? Nah! Not worth it, some sales assistant said.

Our window cleaner had one in his housing association place. Said it was useless. Only person I can think of who has direct experience.

Someone's put a bunch of April Fool posters on the telephone mast outside our house. One of them has a big picture of Alan Kimble on it (the bloke saying he needs a Kimble sticker to complete a set).

Interested in opinions thereof
Efan Ekoku at Huddersfield in the 4th minute of injury time in the 5t round of the cup was an early example of what is called limbs these days when random strangers were hugged and people ended up several rows away from where they were originally

Afternoon all. VAR in the 1890s took about five hours because the illustrator had to paint the incident in question first

Though five hours isn't any longer than what it takes at some games

BBC Radio Oxy did a half-decent April Fool just before mid-day. They said that the Eurovision contest was to be replicated in Asia, hosted in Bangkok this year.

they did pronounce Laos as louse though and not Lao which is always a test ;-)
That photo was originally taken from the 1887 cup final at the Oval between West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa. No goal nets, so the umpire is looking along the goal line. Victorian technology!

The front page of the FT had a mock up of the Trump Presidential Library with a 747 inside it and a gold escalator which I assumed was their April Fool but apparently it is genuine (reported elsewhere)

The Huddersfield game mentioned in The Historical Don section remains one of my favourite football memories a brilliant end to a game. You can watch extended highlights here [Link]

Skip to seven mins 30 seconds for the start of the comeback.
Raynes Parker - Interestingly the referee stood off the pitch and was only there as arbitor of the two umpires - one each from the opposing sides - until Old Centrals third seaspm when the umpires became linesmen and the referee took his place on the pitch and control.
