 Is that the Del Somers???

Legend!

Sadly Del I don't think you made the cut for the best XI but you would have made the top three for best ever Welling booking in my opinion.

It's a fix that I'm not in the best 11, but I will live with it and bring it up on Saturday at the dinner, maybe I will get in as sub. Tell me more about the booking.

 Egham away in the FA Cup.

Brought on as a sub when we had a free kick. The ball was launched forward and their keeper caught it on the edge of his six yard box. A few seconds later the aforementioned sub, without breaking stride, smashed into him launching him and the ball into the net and ran off claiming the goal We thought it was going to be a straight red but you got away with a yellow!

Happy Days

Dear Wingnut

 

I'm not sure you are correct with your explanation of the alleged incident, I believe it was the left back that I tackled albeit late and the Ref let me off because I had just come on to the pitch.  However, what cannot be challenged is, 53 goals in my first season for Welling, not bad at any standard.

 

Regards

Not bad, Del - 53 goals in a season is going some, probably (and I am guessing) surpassed only by one Mr Bartley.  I suspect the Zapata moustache has been consigned to history!

Was great to see you on Saturday Del.

I don't remember any bookings but do remember coming home from holiday in 1980 and wandering down to watch the ressies play Herne Bay and thing 'bloody hell. Who is this guy?' as you scored all 4 in a 4-1 win.

Also the headed goal at Malden Vale in the first goal after JB had gone to Millwall, the first ever Southern League goal in the last minute of our 1-1 draw at Salisbury on the first day of 81-82 and the first ever Southern League Premier Divison goal when we beat Alvechurch 1-0 on the first day of the following season.

But my favourite was Gloucester City away whene had a late goal disallowed but then scored again to get a 1-1 draw.

Graham Hobbins was getting some grief of the locals including cups of tea thrown over him and one decided to run up to the top of the tunnel to carry on the 'argument' and Del went 'WHACK'. The bloke was carried off as we made a hasty exit to the station with cries of 'blardy carkneys' in our ear.

Those were the days.

Thanks again for coming and would be a pleasure to see you again any time.
