I recently unearthed a gem of a pic(I thought I’d lost) in my loft we ordered from the Burton mail back in the late eighties. It was of Bob Gauden scoring to make it 3-0 against Weymouth in the fa trophy 86/87 season. Being as there was so many pics in the paper which is now defunct as we used to know it, It got me wondering if anyone knows if the slides are at all still accessible?
Thanks

the FA trophy season brings back good memories. I was a kid and it was when I first started watching the brewers. the trophy run really got the excitement going
I remember things like Tony Agana playing against us in the run (I guess that might have been for Weymouth) - he went onto the football league soon after.

I feel a bit spoilt growing up witnessing that season, just a shame it ended like it did. Nevertheless it was pretty amazing with so many good memories. |

That was a great run that season and when we embarked on it in October/November time with a 2-0 victory at Northwich Victoria in our first game there had been no signs of what was to follow up to that point. In fact I think Brian Fidler was close to the sack before that run started but what followed was nothing short of miraculous. I remember living and breathing that run and when it ended in a cruel defeat at the Hawthorns on that Thursday night I can't remember feeling as disappointed and gutted as I did about football(or anything else for that matter!) at that moment. The following season was probably one of the worst(league position wise) that i've experienced in my 44 years of watching the Brewers where the trophy team broke up as we had been moved from the NPL to the Southern league and with most of our players being northern based many didn't want the travelling.

Yes Fidler thought we would storm all over the southern league, but games like Boxing Day at Corby summed-up the season. Wembley (the old one) was a fun day out but the proper football game happened at WBA the following week. Kiddy were the better team no doubt, but Groves’ goal should have stood and but for Bancroft’s soft penno. |
