On This Day in 1971
After 15 years as manager, Les Henley is flanked by ex-players Peter Shreeve and Les Brown as he takes charge at Plough Lane for the last time. After a 3-2 victory over Gloucester City, the long serving boss marched into the dressing room, said "Well done!" and poured tea for his troops just as he had done so many times before. A quiet celebratory drink with many of the players who had served him well over the years followed, with one quoted as saying: "I think the club will regret the day they sacked Les."

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]

Andy Kershaw, presenter on Live Aid, yet probably hated most of the acts that appeared on it.

Like this little fact about Andy Kershaw. He left his Economics A-level exam halfway through to attend a Bob Dylan concert but still achieved a Grade A.
RIP Andy Kershaw

I think RP is correct about the reason bar snacks stopped. I'd already stopped eating them anyway for that very reason!

Spit, I was talking about exactly that with my old man last weekend. I remember it happening on odd occasions in my very early pubbing days, early 2000s, but never since.

Might have been The Oak in Kingston I'm remembering.
Spit, I think that some public health experts realised that after a visit to the gents/ladies some residual material was finding its way back into the food chain.

When fulham became wimbledon, I went to a few of the women's games on a sunday at Old.plough lane,was a good excuse to have a beer in the sportsman pub and nibble a few bar snacks.

Can't remember the last time I saw free bar snacks on the bar in a pub.
OTD in 1992 I saw my first ever Wimbledon ladies game as we lost 2-0 to RS Southampton in the Women’s FA Cup semi final at Yeovil

Dundonald - what is your spread of choice on late night toast, please? Often Marmite [BLEUGH] for me. I have got into the habit of having crumpets with a covering of butter and marmite [YUK] as late night snack.

Agreed, Meadow. A very enjoyable evening. But I had to make myself some toast when I got home.

Really time to stop arguing with the DTB about the running of the elections- we all know that the process wasn’t fair, but it’s pretty irrelevant now, as within a year or two we will be in administration or have been taken over by an external investor (or both), so all of their machinations will have been for nothing

Loved Cal Kennedy. I think we all did, and Lyle was an interesting subtle sort of bloke. Would have loved to have gone tonight and would have if we still lived up there. Good to hear it was a good evening.
