The Bulls travelled to play Stevenage Town in the First Division of the Southern League. Stevenage were managed at that time by George Curtis the former Arsenal and Southampton player (not the Coventry one).
The Official Programme cost 4d (old money) and announced a Bulls side of Jock Wallace, Thomas (?), Peter Timms, Alan Attwood, Ray Daniel, Arthur Tyrer, Ronnie Burbeck, Alan Rogerson, Brian Punter, Albert Derrick and Freddie Jones. For their part, the hosts lined up with Peacock, Standing, Oakley, Freely, Mills, Curry, Richards, Walker, Ince, Dixon and Franks.
I don't have a record of the score but it's certain that The Bulls were victorious as having drawn the opening match of the season at Deal Town they then proceeded to win the next nine games on the bounce finishing the season as Champions and gaining promotion back to the Southern League Premier Division. Albert Derrick was top scorer on 37 goals with Brian Punter weighing in with 26.
The programme proudly advertises the home Club's colours as Red and White Stripes with Red Knickers and White Stockings. I'd pay good money to wind the clock back and see Anthony Elding dressed like that!
