That game was in the 76/77 season when Terry Venables was our manager.
Tony Burns played that day replacing Paul Hammond who had just left the club.

damn fine keeper Tony Burns - exceptional shot stopper - South African, from Durban I believe ... I think Stuart Jump and Bobby Bell were both Sarth Effricans too.

Tony Burns certainly played in S.Africa but was born in this country and spent nearly all of his footballing career here at league and non-league level.

Not according to Wikipedia although Bobby Bell did play in South Africa towards the end of his career

oh dear, it seems I was talking b*ll*x, not the first time nor will it be the last. At least two of them played in South Africa, it's either down to my ageing memory or Brian Moore getting his facts wrong.

Perhaps you had Gavin Nebbeling in mind, a South African whom we signed from Arcadia Shepherds.
Dikgacoi was another South African who played for us.

I was also at that game.
Does anyone else remember walking around the ground at half time, since the home fans liked to swap ends? Don't think I have done that before or since.

Ben Anderson who played a handful of games in the early 70s played in South Africa as well. No idea why he came to mind!

I certainly remember walking round the ground from Holmesdale which was where we always started. But only if we were playing towards Whitehorse in the second half. I distinctly recall Dad saying it was so we could see all our goals go in at close quarters.

Am I right in remembering that game was in late November or early December, and at the time Bury were top of the Division (and we were hot on their heels)? Maybe my mind's playing tricks on me, but I recall that was the case and in light of it, the 1-0 away win was significant.

 


Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.
