As part of my efforts to pass the time during lockdown I went under the eaves to retrieve old photo albums. One is on football, of course from my days with Vics. But it was fun to recall.
I found I had photos from Chesterfield in the FA Cup, Leyton Orient likewise , Hull in 2001, at Dagenham and Redbridge and then at Stevenage 2001, at Boston 2002, the Last Game at the Drill field with Val Owen as MOM and one I took of Paul Bennett, Phil Reid and Dave Ryan, at Margate in 2003 the famous 4-4 draw, at Yeovil in 2003 in the FA Trophy, April 2005 the last game I saw at Wincham Park with a shot of Matt Bailey captioned "off to Crewe", at Canvey Island 2005, first visit to the Victoria Stadium 2005 v Leigh RMI, Champions 2006 ( a lot of these) ,Stafford 2007 when the match was abandoned, with a group of fans that included Charnock's Dad plus Paul of course, Last match presentations including Steve Burr and Pete Wilson giving Michael Carr his Player of the Year award, In the directors box at Weymouth 2007, FA Cup at Oxford 2007, Cambridge 2008 - saved from relegation, Paul giving awards to Jonny Allen, Lee Steele Player of the Season plus Dino Maamria, End of season awards 2009 - Paul with Andy Preece and Jonny again, at Oxford 2009 with a 2-1 win when we had to avoid troublesome Oxford fans, Ilkeston away, Charlton in the FA Cup and finally April 21 2012 at Bury with the red card protest.
I had no idea I had taken so many but it passed a happy hour.
The last one was March last year when I took part in the Meet the Managers day - a lot more 1874 photos to come I trust.
