Back to Notts County, with the re=arranged match being played tonight: In November 1872, the Notts County full-back Ernest Greenhalgh played for England against Scotland in the first-ever international match, thereby becoming the club's first international player.
Colchester Utd's first ever league fixture was a 0-0 draw away to Gillingham on 19 August 1950, in Third Division South
Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell (1883-1950) was a British field marshal in World War II, appointed commander in chief Middle East in July 1939. He was born in Colchester.
Ian Botham played 11 times for Scunthorpe United. As a schoolboy he turned down an offer to join Crystal Palace, in order to concentrate on cricket.
Any truth in the rumour that they are planning to bury the remains of Richard the third under the pitch at Fratton Park? Well, I suppose there have been people dying on the pitch all season so.....
Don't bother even asking, WD. I hear you have too many "Richard the Thirds" wearing the blue shirt already....
Who are we losing to next? Ah, Bournemouth. Ted MacDougal scored NINE times in an 11-0 FA Cup win over Margate in 1971
Carlisle fans will be making the longest trip in the league on Saturday. Oh well, at least they'll be able to enjoy their long journey home, after picking up 3 points. The club has reached the final of the Football League Trophy (Paint Pot, currently) 6 times, more than any other team, winning it on two occasions in 1997 and 2011.
Sorry, but you really must be more positive, dev................ "I'm positive we have to lose at Hartlepool first" would have been better
