Welling have replaced former Eagle Steve Lovell with former Eagle Peter Taylor as first team manager.

 


Steve Lovell appointed manager of Isthmian League side Herne Bay. Assisted by his son...

My local team but haven’t been for a while due to lockdowns and work Saturdays unless Palace are at home.

Saw Edgar Davids play there as Barnet player manager.

I go back a bit further, ErithE. I used to watch Bexley United in pre-Welling days and would later watch Andy Townsend play for the Wings. This in the days when I too lived in Erith.

But surely Erith & Belvedere is your local team, albeit that they too play at Welling (at least they did last time I looked)!

 


Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I think they still ground share after their ground burnt down about 20 years ago.

I started going to watch Welling in 90-91 season. Palace finished 3rd and Welling 5th in the conference (the highest position ever for both). I didn’t see Palace lose that season and Welling only once (1-4 to Barry Fry’s Barnet).

The best player I’ve seen play for Welling is Nick Pope but he only played four times on loan from Charlton.

You were just a little too late to see Welling's only appearance in the FA Cup Third Round - January 1989 at home to Blackburn Rovers of the 2nd Division. It was a very tight match, which Blackburn were a tad fortunate to win 1-0, before it all kicked off in the park behind the ground!

I was gutted, as a Fourth Round tie was unimaginable. Still, I got my revenge over Blackburn in the 2nd Division play-off final later that year!

I don’t think I ever saw him play for Welling.

I remember the game although I didn’t attend. I did see a second replay at home to Reading a season or two later when they lost 1-2. And Paul Barren was a regular in goal for them at the time.

He was the first player to score in the top five divisions of English football when he netted a PL goal for Liverpool many years ago.

He used to play on the right-wing for Welling.
