On This Day in 1955
Bromley full back, Gurr, goes in studs up on Joe Wallis as the Dons lose an Isthmian League match 1-2 at Plough Lane. "We played Bromley at home in October and in more than seventy years of following the Dons I cannot remember a more brutal match," supporter Brian Halliday recalled. "They literally kicked us off the pitch. At one stage we had just nine men on the field - no substitutes were allowed in those days - as two of our team had been forced off the field after crude challenges. The fans threw bottles, apple cores and stones at the referee after we had lost the match."

Despite leading his side to the Ryman League play-offs in the wake of the ‘Darlogate’ affair, Dave Anderson was sacked after defeat at Bromley cost the Dons their chance of promotion. “There are three things I never thought I would be asked,” the manager said in the wake of his departure. “To switch on the Christmas lights in Wimbledon, to appear on Sky Sports News and to be told that the Prime Minister has just mentioned your name in Parliament. It’s been an honour to be involved from day one and it is an experience I will never forget.” With interviews with player-of-the-year Antony Howard and others, relive every kick of a momentous campaign in the latest edition of The Historical Don.

Can you imagine what music the youth of today will hate when they’re middle aged? What could that possibly sound like?

Yeah I wouldn’t buy his album or go to a live concert but I wouldn’t put much if any modern pop music above it. There’s a reason the charts are no longer a thing. Music industry takes money off you these days without caring what you listen to.

Jamie T was very much of his time, and songs like Sticks ‘n’ Stones and Sheila were massive live gig hits, especially among the kids who went to watch bands like The Wombats and Pigeon Detectives, etc - there’s a raw energy with these artists when you see them live, even if it doesn’t have the longevity of some music. Having an open mind and an eclectic taste helps one to enjoy all sorts of music :)

We love people from there.
This was the other one I remember. The songs were better than the videos imho but it was a different time I think when music videos weren’t worth the money anymore cos MTV was going down and so was TV [Link]

He was big about 20 years ago Spit he made his breakthrough by singing in the style of chavs. Wasn’t untalented musically but subject to a matter of musical taste. You must have heard this one back in the day [Link]

And who say LP nowdays
Actually, there's some ambiguity in the text - seems possible that the old-timer was speaking decades after the match actually took place.

Just doing the maths on today's 'On this day'... If this was 1955, and the supporter was quoted as saying he'd supported the Dons for more than seventy years, then he would have started in 1885. If the Old Centrals took the field for the first time on November 2nd 1889, who was he supporting for the 4 years before that?

Would he take Alan and Jimmy? There’s an extra r involved but it would be good to get rid of them somewhere.
