From the
Dugout with Luke Tuffs
Good evening and welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Croydon FC.
What a nice feeling to have a compe��ve football match for us to all look forward to. However
much you try to get excited for friendlies (and I do) nothing beats a fixture with genuine risk and
reward involved.
I am well versed in the clubs history in this compe��on, and although I can’t claim we will be able
to match the clubs cup winning season where during the early naugh�es we beat a full �me
Woking side in the final, we will do our best to get as far as we can and give people something to
look forward to.Croydon of course will have their own ideas, and have a good manager and playing
group that successfully came from 3-0 down last weekend to win in the London senior Cup 4-3.
It is a very strange �me at the moment without the consistency of a con�nuous compe��ve
campaign that we are all used to. Our player group, and even staff, have been struggling to stay as
mo�vated as usual and stay on the top of their game. I think one of the over riding ques�ons is
what if we don’t start again?
We can only allow these thoughts to be for the most flee�ng of moments and do our best to keep
our standards. I think for all of us, players; management and supporters alike, it’s so important to
keep a rou�ne for our mental health, as much as hi�ng the ground running when the campaign
eventually resumes. That’s why I’ve done my best to ensure we are playing Saturday Tuesday to the
best of my abili�es to keep us all moving and our habits strong!
This period off has had some benefits though. One of these, is it has allowed us to get players back
from injury (or closer to return). Our captain, Ma� Bunyan returned with 45 minutes in the tank on
Saturday. Dan Brown has now featured in all friendlies since lockdown. George Spires will be doing
the warm up tonight and able to run in straight lines again. James Co�ee is only 2 or 3 weeks away
from his return. Duffy managed to return last week a�er his injury / niggles but is now isola�ng
a�er a posi�ve case at the school he works at. Steven and his family are all thankfully safe and well
you’ll be relieved to know.
We have also had the opportunity to look to add a couple more to our squad. A�er limping into

lockdown fielding a bare 11 of fit players for the previous 2 or 3 games (of which even in the 11 half
of us couldn’t move) we thought with such a hec�c schedule coming up when we return, we need
more depth. Below you’ll find our 2 most recent signings. We are also looking at 2 other trialists
you’ll have seen at games in the last week, who we hope will feature again on Saturday.
Players In:
George Frise - Centre Mid. Frise was my U18s captain at Hartley and has been with me since he
was 15 years old and li�ed the Hampshire Youth cup with us. He also was my Academy captain. He
has spent the last 2 years in New Zealand and has returned looking a fantas�c addi�on. He has
clearly con�nued to develop and has earnt himself forms a�er strong performances against
Banstead, Reading City and Kingstonian. George will not be available tonight as we await
interna�onal clearance.
Dion Dublin - Striker - The keen eyed amongst you will have seen Dion on the bench for us against
Kingstonian. Now well into his 40s, Dion has bags of experience having played at an elite level for
many years.
Players Out:
Tim Pi� - We thank Tim for his �me, he played a valuable part in our win against Harlow Town, but
his brief s�nt is over and he wishes to pursue opportuni�es elsewhere. We wish him all the best.
Another benefit of this break, is it has allowed us to get more involved in the Youth / vice versa.
I’m very proud over the course of the last few games that we have had 5 youth boys feature and all
give good accounts of themselves. Credit must go to both them, and Paul Gower and his
management team who have done such a good job with the boys.
I also need to give credit to the club, in par�cular the likes of Nick, Alan and all the commi�ee, for
finding ways to keep the club going. It would be so easy to give up and throw in the towell, but we
always seem to find a way to make things work. There’s always a reason to carry on. There’s always
a way we can get through these challenging �mes. As you have a drink tonight in the bar (with your
pie!) have a drink to the many at the club that have jumped through hoops and legisla�on to make
this possible.
So there we go. I hope you enjoy the game tonight. Up the Tangerines!!
Tuffs

Chertsey Town
Club History
Croydon Amateurs FC was founded on 17th April 1953 to provide senior amateur football at the newly
built Croydon Sports Arena. And whilst the idea for a senior club carrying the town’s name had been
mooted prior to the war, nothing had become of the sugges�on and the catalyst proved to be the
laying of the running track and the need for the football pitch to be used.
At the inaugural mee�ng, Jack Milsted was elected Chairman and George Burrows Secretary, a strong
partnership for the first twenty-years. At the �me, the club had nothing, its ini�al funding being by way
of public dona�ons. The Surrey Senior League suddenly found itself with a space to fill and this enabled
the fledgling club to have somewhere to compete and ten years were spent in that compe��on.
The club was ambi�ous and a�er its annual rejec�on by the Corinthian League, 1963-64 saw eleva�on
to the Spartan League where it won its first Championship. The original clubhouse was also erected
during this season, having been obtained from a local building site.
The extended Athenian League gave them the opportunity of further advancement in 1964 and the
Division Two �tle won in 1966. Four years later, there was relega�on followed by two successive
runners-up spots which meant Premier Division football. But manager Jimmy Rose who masterminded
those two seasons departed to Dulwich and the team broke up.
A season of struggle followed and then the Isthmian started to expand although the club missed out
on the first intake, a �me when clubs could openly pay players. With the impending end of amateur
status, the club dropped its suffix during the summer of 1973.
Ted Shepherd took over as manager, introduced a much more professional a�tude and thus began one
of the club’s most successful decades. 1974 saw elec�on to the Isthmian League and in 1975-76 the
team went undefeated in its league programme to gain promo�on to the top table. There were four
final appearances in the League, London Senior and Surrey Senior Cups, winning the la�er in 1982.
1979 saw the club’s best run in the FA Cup, losing to Millwall in a Second Round replay at The Den.
Shepherd was succeeded by Barrie Webb for the 1984-85 campaign and then Adrian Hill (1985-87)
who took the club to its highest ever League posi�on – fourth in the Premier Division – in 1986. It was
at this �me that finances took a turn for the worse, money – or rather the lack of it – was the root cause
and seven seasons of struggle ensued. Ma�ers weren’t helped when the local authority decided to
redevelop the Arena, exiling the club and causing a massive loss in revenue.
Founder Chairman Milsted, together with two of the Club’s other elder statesmen, Alf Haylock and
12
#ASHCROashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com
President Charles Waters re�red in 1990, and the years that followed under new management
culminated in the Club’s name being dragged through the gu�er. There was li�le stability either
on or off the field. Five Chairmen and eleven team managers, moun�ng debts and threats of closure
are ample evidence of that. The nadir of the mismanagement was 1993-94 but in stepped local
businessman, Ken Jarvie at the eleventh hour. Phoenix Sun, his Thornton Heath League side, stepped
up nine levels of football to keep the Club’s name alive.
Jarvie’s arrival sparked one of the club’s most successful periods but there was a financial cost He
tended to do things his own way which caused some fric�on but he inspired loyalty from his players.
He led the club to promo�on from Division Two in 1996 and a nineteen match unbeaten run at the
beginning of 2000 saw Croydon storm to their first league �tle since 1966. In addi�on, the club reached
its first cup finals since 1982. Defeat against Woking in the Surrey Senior Cup was forgo�en a day later
with victory over Purfleet in the Full Members Cup.
The club survived its first season back in the Premier Division winning the London Senior Cup
but budget cuts led to the loss of a number of quality players and relega�on followed a year later. Jarvie
stepped down suddenly during the summer of 2002 leaving Dickson Gill to begin a fi�een year reign.
The Club con�nued to struggle and was duly relegated to Division Two in April 2005. Money remained
an ever present problem and 2006 saw a season of consolida�on and being placed in the Kent League
in the big reorganisa�on of the non-League game.
A third place finish in its inaugural campaign was the best. Ma�ers stagnated and regressed, the one
on-field success being in 2009 when the Kent League Cup and Charity Shield found their way west
across the county border. There followed a short spell in the Combined Coun�es League before being
directed back east to the newly re-�tled SCEFL.
Having cried wolf on numerous occasions, Gill eventually resigned in January 2017. Linking up with
Kine�c, the club started to move forwards once again under new Chairman Mar�n Burr but his was
only to be a short reign and having �died things up, he stepped down.
A fi�h place finish augured well for the current campaign but then in May 2018, manager Harry Hudson
succumbed to the advances of Whyteleafe and he disappeared with virtually all of the first team
pu�ng the club back to square one.
His ini�al replacement for was Craig Davies who therefore had his work cut out but the challenge
appeared insurmountable and a�er seven league defeats on the spin, he fell on his sword.
Chris Brown took on the mantle and whilst he achieved two league wins, the annus horribilis showed
no real signs of coming to an end. Miracle worker John Cumberbatch, who took over when Gill le� two
years ago had a short spell back in charge before Liam and Trevor Giles aided by John Gladwin took over
with a damage limita�on exercise and a mandate to complete the season and prepare for the future.
And just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, the clubhouse was burgled in March and a
lot of needless damaged caused! Come the week before this season and a pain�ng weekend saw a
further raid and more senseless damage caused. The management intend that the Club should live
within its means, not chasing fool’s gold with unsustainable big budgets but not the income to sustain
such ambi�ons.

SO, it's Marine against Mourinho. Who says the magic has gone from the FA Cup?
Last week's glamour third round �e, which pi�ed the Northern Premier League Division One North West Mariners with
Premier League leaders To�enham Hotspur – a difference of 166 league places to be precise – is a Christmas fairytale
come true for Neil Young's men and indeed for all the football purists who vigorously defend the FA Cup's proud stance
as the greatest cup compe��on in the world.
Who would've believed that Marine's modest Rosse� Park - backdrop of the BBC live broadcast where presenter Mark
Chapman cha�ed by Turner and other FA Cup heroes from Chorley and Stockport County - would soon play host to
'The Special One' and his star-studded Spurs side in one of the �es of the century?
And the wasn't just the Mariners being looked a�er by the FA Gods. Stockport were also pi�ed against Premier League
opposi�on in West Ham United, Chorley were drawn with Wayne Rooney's Derby County and Boreham Wood got 2004
finalists Millwall. All at home, all undoubtedly in front of the TV cameras. It was stuff that dreams are made of.
With five promo�ons as a manager under his belt – including three at former club Chester – not a lot fazes the wily
Young in the world of football. But the humble surroundings at his new home at Rosse� Park, however, clearly hold a
place in his heart.
Young talks openly of regularly bumping into the assistant referee as he leaps out of his manager's dugout and
watching neighbours peer through the wire fence from adjoining gardens as his team take to the field.
Indeed, �ed to one of the aforemen�oned wire fences in a sign with '29' on it, indica�ng which house to retrieve the
ball from should it be hoofed over in that direc�on.
Imagine dear old Mrs Smith wrapped up in front of the fire and enjoying a peaceful a�ernoon's telly only to be
disturbed by a fully-ki�ed Harry Kane knocking at her door and asking for his ball back!
The draw reminded me of my days as a cub reporter covering Farnborough Town and the year when they locked horns
with the mighty Arsenal in a fourth round clash in 2003.
The �e was switched – and rightly so in my opinion – from Farnborough's humble Cherrywood Road stadium to
Highbury on safety grounds, allowing around 9,000 fans (s�ll not sure where they got them all from) to make the trip
up from Hampshire to north London to cheer on the minnows against the likes of Patrick Vieira, Sol Campbell and
Dennis Bergkamp et al.
To this day, Farnborough's solitary goal in a 5-1 defeat, scored by Rocky Bap�ste, remains the club's most famous ever,
while full-back Michael Warner talks of the moment he gleefully upended flying French winger Robert Pires. A day
never to be forgo�en by all involved.
Arsenal, and boss Arsene Wenger, did visit humble surroundings several years later when they were drawn against all-
conquering Su�on United in a fi�h-round �e in 2017.
Anyone who has seen the away dressing room at Gander Green Lane could understand what a humble experience it
must have been for the likes of Wenger, Theo Walco�, Alex Iwobi and Granit Xhaka but the Gunners oozed
professionalism and class throughout, both on and off the field, to come away with a 2-0 victory.
And how about Burton Albion, who welcomed the mighty Manchester United to their old Pirelli Stadium as a Non-
League club back in 2006, holding them to a 0-0 draw despite coming up against the likes of Rooney, Cris�ano Ronaldo
and Gerard Pique.
Those two matches with United – the replay ending in a 4-1 defeat at Old Trafford - were heralded as the catalyst for
Burton's meteoric rise up the football pyramid, while etched firmly in the memories of Brewers fans both young and
old.
While the probability is that the likes of Kane maybe afforded the weekend off with Marine's centre-halves desperate
to lock horns with the England captain, other star names will be called upon to get the job done.
Dele Ali, Lucas Moura, Harry Winks...all are likely to play a part in an occasion to remember for the Marine faithful on
Merseyside. You can bet your bo�om dollar, however, that the Spurs boys are not looking forward to it one li�le bit!
