i went to bury v palace,it was either 75/76 or 76/77,we won 1-0 with steve perrin scoring,does any old codger like me know which season it was,as i want to get the programme,thanks

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.

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

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.

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.
