Watching the highlights and looking at the stats, Dover certainly gave it a go and their players all wanted to play. Respect. Perhaps the Gills players should watch this clip to remind them how to play and why they play.
Cambridge's former Blue Boys score on the night. Ben Williamson and also Capt Leon got his Legge over. Lived in Dover for 9 years. Could see one half of the Crabble pitch from my balcony. I would sometimes drop in to watch the Whites if I wasn't working or going up to Priestfield that week. Had a good team in the 70's. 'Diesel Johnny' Uhlman was chairman then. They signed Hartlepool goalie Mike Gadsby in late'72, he arrived in town the same week as me.
Dover opened their new 500 seater 1.3 million pound stand on Saturday in front of 3,000 fans. (see KOL) Div 2 soon ? Hope so.
Dover rode their luck but when you have passion and balls anything is possible. What a shame right at the death of 90 minutes, we all know that roller coaster feeling.
