Jake Bewley scores against North Leigh on his 300th appearance

ood afternoon and welcome to this Pitching In Southern League Division One Central match against Wantage Town. Hopefully after a few weeks of disruption we can finally play our first Saturday home game of the New Year. We welcome the players, officials and supporters of the Freds, and wish them a pleasant journey home after today’s game. Our opponents arrive here on the back of a seventh consecutive defeat on Saturday, losing 3-1 at home to Biggleswade. The margins of those defeats have been getting smaller in recent weeks, following their 8-1 reverse at the hands of Bedford Town. They lost by just a single goal to Didcot Town, Thame United and Kidlington. Long-serving manager Matt Biddle resigned at the start of last week, and his assistant, James Keller, has been given the job of leading the club’s fight against relegation. They will be boosted by the recruitment of winger Jamal Branker, who has already scored

at The Meadow this season, when he played against us for North Leigh in September. The Millers continued their dominance over us on Saturday, as we lost 4-2 at Eynsham Park – a game only notable for Jake Bewley’s 300th appearance for the club, just the 11th player in our history to achieve that milestone. We continue to be plagued by injuries, with the dismal news that Lee Stobbs has now been ruled out for the season by the knee injury he suffered on New Year’s Day against Berkhamsted. We wish Lee a quick recovery in his attempt to return to fitness before next season begins. Our next game comes a little earlier than previously anticipated, as we will now host Waltham Abbey at The Meadow on Wednesday evening, in the match that was postponed from 8 January.

The history of Aylesbury United A

ylesbury United were founded in 1897 when three local sides: Night School FC, The Printing Works and Aylesbury Town decided to merge. The club, affectionately known as ‘the Ducks’ due to the famous Aylesbury breed, have experienced some incredible highs over their long 124-year history but now battle for existence without a home ground to call their own. In the early years United played in local leagues before joining the Spartan League in 1908 where they remained until the Second World War. 1951 saw the Ducks gain their first taste of national publicity as they became the only club from the Delphian League ever to reach the First Round Proper of the FA Cup, eventually losing to Third Division side Watford. Southern League and success Aylesbury turned semiprofessional in 1976 and joined the Southern League, a move which got the ball rolling on the club’s most successful period. A number of events followed which were to help: In 1983 the club appointed Trevor Gould as manager, and then a year later a young local lad called Cliff Hercules made his debut, unaware that he was to become the most successful player in the club’s history. ‘Hercy’ was, and still is, an Aylesbury icon, and some 20-years later he finally hung

up his boots having smashed the club records with 669 appearances and scoring 301 goals. Promotion to the Southern Premier was soon achieved and shortly afterwards the Ducks moved to their new Buckingham Road stadium. This gave the town a new impetus and Gould’s talented squad secured the Southern League Championship in 1987-88 and gained promotion to the GM Vauxhall Conference. United then hit the headlines again, becoming the only non-league side ever to take on the full England team, as more than 6000 packed into Buckingham Road to see the Ducks take on the Three Lions. Unfortunately United’s brush with the non-league elite only lasted one season, after which the club were relegated to the Isthmian League. Fame and the FA Cup During the period between 1985 and 1992, Aylesbury boasted the best FA Cup record of any side outside the Football League, reaching at least the First Round Proper every season. The highlights being a victory over then Division Four leaders Southend United, a narrow extra time replay defeat against Northampton Town, and being shown live across Europe against Walsall. Ironically though it wasn’t Gould, the club’s most

successful manager, who led the Ducks to their greatest FA Cup achievement, it was his successor Steve Ketteridge in 1994-95. Once again the club became media celebrities as the ‘Duck Walk’ goal celebration was shown around the world, as Aylesbury went on to reach the Third Round where they lost to Premiership side Queen’s Park Rangers at Loftus Road. Ketteridge delivered the Isthmian League Cup title to Aylesbury, but it was to be the beginning of a rollercoaster ride for the club. After almost going out of business, the Ducks were pipped to the Isthmian League title by Sutton United a year later, despite heading the table for long periods. The following season saw United back in administration and fighting for survival both on and off the pitch. Despite defeating Football League side Reading in the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup, for the second time in four seasons, the club was relegated to Division One for the first time in their history. In October 2000, the legendary Hercules took time out from his duties as the club’s Community Development Officer to manage the Ducks, and in his brief spell in charge he secured promotion back to the Isthmian Premier Division and extended the club’s proud FA Cup record with a First Round trip to Port Vale.

Homeless and hopeless Carroll decided to cut ties with the club he had been involved with since 1997, and popular local businessman Graham Read took over the club.

2002-03 saw Aylesbury returned to national prominence twice. First the club was privileged to play a major part in an England get together as the Buckingham Road facilities were used by Sven Goran Eriksson for a media conference and by the squad for a training session. Second the club made their first ever appearance in the FA Trophy semi-finals, where the Ducks were beaten by eventual winners Burscough. For various reasons the club then began to cycle through a string of managers at an average of two a season – namely Chris Boothe, Kevin Wilson, Paul Curtis, Danny Nicholls, Jon Franklin, Tony Thompson and Mark Eaton. But nothing was to match the low point of summer 2006. Former chairman Bill Carroll failed in his plans to convert the Buckingham Road pitch to a 3G artificial surface – what he described as his ‘last ditch’ idea for creating a viable football club, when the Southern League and FA baulked at his ideas.

hard keeping the club alive. The campaign to ‘Bring the Ducks Home’ has generated plenty of publicity, but so far, sadly, nothing concrete in terms of a new home for the club. There are still plenty of reasons to remain positive; a glance to our near neighbours Slough Town, who moved into a new ground in 2016 having left their previous home in 2003, just goes to show that with patience and perseverance it can be done, and Aylesbury United will return to their rightful place eventually. On the pitch the club continued to do remarkably well, going close to the playoff positions in the Midlands Division for the next three seasons but a new challenge arose last summer when the then manager defected, taking almost the entire playing squad with him. This led to another

tumultuous season which saw Martin Stone initially appointed as manager, but due to personal reasons he had to renege on his appointment less than two weeks before the first game of the season. His assistant, Byron Walton, briefly stepped into the mantle and did a sterling job in assembling a competitive team in such a short space of time. He moved on and former United defender Tony Joyce became the club’s new permanent manager. Unfortunately Joyce was unable to prevent the club’s slide – which had seen them amass just one league win by October – and the club were relegated to the Spartan South Midlands League. However, Joyce built a new and strong squad which finished sixth in the league in 2010-11. Season 2011-12 saw further progression in the league with the Ducks eventually finishing fourth after a strong run of results at the tail

end of the season. There was disappointment, however, with the team out of all cup competitions by mid November. Rebuilding for the future The 2012-13 season saw the club competing for the title, being in the top four for the entire season. Finally finishing second to Dunstable Town, gaining promotion to the Southern League courtesy of the FA’s restructuring of the feeder leagues and the additional promotion places that created. The season was capped by securing the Spartan League Premier Division Cup, beating Hadley 3-2 after extra time. The Ducks’ first season back in the Southern league saw them achieve a creditable 12th place finish in a strong division. Other highlights from the season was a much better FA Cup run and notable victories against Southern Premier League opponents Hemel Hempstead, Chesham and Burnham in the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup and The Red Insure Cup. The 2014-15 season saw the club finish in 13th place but made the final of the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup for the first time in 10 years, losing 4-0 to Maidenhead United from the Vanarama Conference South. After a disappointing start to the 2015-16 season, Tony Joyce tendered his resignation after six years at the club and was replaced by Glyn Creaser who had been coach under Tony. In Glyn’s first full season in charge, he led the club to the semi-final of the Southern League Cup, before losing at Premier Division St Ives. He also guided the team to 13th position in the table. After two seasons ground sharing

at the ASM Stadium in Thame, a decision was made to return to The Meadow, the home of Chesham United for the 2017-18 season. After a disappointing start to the league campaign, manager Glyn Creaser was relieved of his responsibilities following a 6-1 home defeat against Cambridge City in December 2017, with the team lying second from the bottom of the table. His assistant Ben Williams was appointed caretaker manager in his place, before being appointed in a full time capacity in January. Williams steadied the ship successfully, integrating a number of new young players and developing a great team spirit, which saw the Ducks rise to 13th in the league, winning nine of their last 13 matches. 2019-20 began in promising fashion, with the Ducks unbeaten in the first nine league games, and winning ties in both the FA Cup and FA Trophy. Despite a slight dip in form, the Ducks remained in the play-offs before the season was curtailed early and voided due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. The 2020-21 season suffered the same fate as the previous campaign, abandoned after just two months of action. But that was still long enough for the Ducks to suffer heartbreak in the FA Cup, losing a penalty shoot-out to Moneyfields (in a game that had already seen four penalties) – before bouncing back to win on penalties against Tilbury in the FA Trophy. But with the majority of the squad that finished the season signing on again – along with a few shrewd acquisitions – hopes are high to pick up where the team left off.

Duck walk to Dunstable A tremendous result on and off the pitch as sponsored walk boosts donations to the Cancer Care & Haematology Fund

ore than £2,000 has been raised by supporters for the club’s charity partner, the Cancer Care & Haematology Fund, following a sponsored walk to an away game. A group of 10 hardy Ducks – Allan Brace, Andrew Dell, Stuart Andrews, David Horne, Paul Gardner, Lee Cotton, Mark Rickard, Rich Lloyd, Graham Read, and Andy Martin – braved the inclement weather on 30 October, setting off at 7.45am from Buckingham Road in Aylesbury to walk 25 kilometres to Creasey Park in Dunstable – the home ground of the Ducks’ opponents on Saturday afternoon AFC Dunstable. They reached Dunstable in sunnier conditions in just over five hours, rewarded by their hosts with a hot meal

and drinks. The walkers’ were then treated to a fabulous performance from the team, who beat then-second-placed AFC Dunstable 2-1 with two goals from Max Hercules. In addition to raising money for the CCHF, which supports the work of the Cancer Care and Haematology Unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, the walk also aimed to draw attention to the fact it is 15 years since the club played its home games in Aylesbury and the continued efforts to #BringTheDucksHome.

Andy Martin, director at Aylesbury United, and chair of supporters’ trust 21st Century Ducks, said: “The generosity of Ducks fans is truly astonishing, and we’re over the moon to be able to raise so much for such a worthy local cause. The amount raised shows that even though the first team has played outside the town for 15 years, we’re a club that remains at the heart of the community.” Richard Lloyd, leader of Aylesbury Town Council and one of the walkers, said: “The show of generosity from fans and the support for this walk makes me ever more determined to deliver the new facilities that Aylesbury desperately needs, and we will continue working towards a Community Stadium for the town”. Donations on behalf of the charity are still welcome, and can be made throughout the season at: www. peoplesfundraising.com/ donation/cchf-and-aylesburyunited

The Fifties was the most successful period for the Club, winning the League in 1952-53 (without losing a game) and again in 1955-56, while in 1954-55, the Freds won no fewer than five cup competitions, including the Berks & Bucks Intermediate Cup. Since joining the Hellenic League in 1956, the Freds have spent most of their seasons in the Premier Division, winning promotion from Division 1 on six occasions – as runners-up in 1969-70, 1987-88, 1991-92 (where they set a club record of 32 games unbeaten) and 1995-96, and as champions in 1980-81 and 2003-04. Season 2003-04 was one of the Freds’ most successful. The first team won Division One East to regain its position in the Premier Division of the Hellenic, and the Reserves finished top of their league, also winning promotion. In 2010-11, the Freds won the Premier Division title, but despite great effort on the part of the

club management, they were not promoted to the Southern League due to ground grading criteria not being achieved. In the 2012-2013 season, the club achieved the Southern League ground grading, but finished runners-up to a very strong Marlow side, and again missed out on promotion. In 2013-14, the Freds won the Uhlsport Hellenic Premier title again, and this time with the appropriate ground grading in place, saw promotion to Division One (South and West) of the Southern League. The Freds remained in the Southern League for three years, before seeing relegation back to the Uhlsport Hellenic Premier League at the end of the 2016-17 season, at the same time the reserves saw relegation to the second division of the Hellenic League. In 201819, the Freds won the Uhlsport Hellenic Premier title for the third time and regained their place in the Southern League, this time in the Division One Central section. Throughout the years the club has worked to upgrade the facilities at Alfredian Park. In the past 20 years the main pitch has been renewed and a training pitch has been established. Two new and additional pitches have been formed, enabling five full sized pitches (including the adjacent School pitches) to be used by the growing number of teams supported by the club (the club supports teams, both boys and girls, from U7s upwards, and since 2016-2017, a Ladies team) too. The club has recently been granted planning permission for the installation of a 3G pitch, which shows the continued investment in the facilities.

Aylesbury United FC

Opposition profiles Jack Alexander A quality, very experienced and solid player who has a very impressive footballing background especially for someone still at a young age. Jack is a local lad living a stone’s throw away from the ground, who is now following in his dad’s footsteps in the green and white colours. Oldest young guy you will ever meet. Gave up the dream of having hair on his head last year! Joe Gorman Goalkeeper returned to us this year after clocking a few miles in his car last year with Westfields. Now that he has maxed out on his miles before his car lease runs out, he jumped at an opportunity to play more local and at a higher standard. A very strong, composed and consistent keeper that you will rarely catch making a mistake. Kacper Kowalczyk Polish keeper with lots to offer. Has been playing a lot recently and hasn’t done much wrong at all. A bright future awaits this one. Sam Hartley Sam is a sought-after defender especially given his physicality, characteristics and huge potential to make a quality player. Still at a young age the possibilities are endless for Sam given more experience and his attitude to learn. This guy loves a tackle and dreams of clean sheets every night. Would head a boulder if they were match balls.

aylesburyunitedfc.co.uk

Jake Pemberton Exciting young full back Jake joins us after being on the books for Reading. After a few promising training sessions and pre-season matches, it didn’t take long for Jake to stamp his mark. Already won two penalties for us, this guy will find a trip wire in an empty room. You will do well to crack a smile out of Jake and if you do you should consider yourself as a comedian. Luke Quarterman Highly-rated young defender Luke joins us this season from a successful stint at Oxford City U23s. Voted Player’s Player of the Season, Wantage are looking forward to working with such a talented individual, who also has that rare quality of leadership already at such an early age! One to keep an eye for the future for sure. Thinks he is a DJ in the dressing room, fancies himself on the dancefloor Aleks Novakovic Aleks or widely known as ‘Djokovic’ within the squad due his similarities in looks and name, joins the Freds after impressing in pre-season. This young defender has all the attributes to play higher in the future and there is no place better than Alfredian Park to unlock his full potential. Was a like a moth to a flame when he saw the style of football at the club. Could be a surprised package this season. Charlie Kille Powerful, pacy and purposeful winger who would be in most

fullbacks’ worst nightmares. You don’t want this direct player running at you for the whole 90 minutes. Charlie is a player that we believe has huge amounts of potential that still hasn’t been unlocked yet. We are hoping we awake this beast. Doesn’t believe in drinking beer slowly, would not like to be his drinking partner! Alex Henshall More clubs than Tiger Woods. Played at the highest level and now plays for the mighty Freds. Good on the ball already scored a few goals for us this season and hopefully we see him at his best. Alex Fragata A rare young talent one to watch for sure. Played for Thatcham already this season and now joins us on our quest to stay up. Haydn Price This man can play anywhere. The former Northampton Town player brings wealth of knowledge and technical ability to this team and definitely has potential in the game. James Hammond Talented midfielder ‘Hammo’ also couldn’t resist the temptation to sign for the Freds this season. Somehow the gaffer managed to keep this signing under wraps from the national press! This player can truly leave you in awe after watching his performances. One of those annoying players that can do anything when

challenged. Would take a lot to rumble this calm natured individual, but always first on the scene to protect his team mates. Tony Logongo The former Aston Villa youngster is a quick and dangerous attacking player with lots to offer. Settled into the squad well with a few goals. The 19-year-old will definitely be one to watch in years to come. Josh Elms Highly-regarded young striker Josh joins us from National Conference side Eastleigh. Once in and around the box there is only one thing on this player’s mind. With further development, along with his physicality and presence the future looks bright for this young talent. Not afraid to shoot from anywhere, we will probably need to bring an extra bag of balls for training! James Keller, manager JK shares a soft spot for Wantage Town as it was here where his football career all started, enduring three joyful seasons with the club during his time. Now 34 years old and with 17 years of experience at the semi-professional level

behind him. JK feels this was a great time and fantastic opportunity to hang up the boots and continue his love the game within the management arena. Drives his Bentley to training and likes to chauffeur the skipper everywhere he goes! Jamie Alexander, coach A familiar name to the Alfredian’s having played for the club during his playing days (however many years that was ago). Jamie joins the management team as the father figure whose words of wisdom and opinions will play a massive part this season. Especially ones like implementing ‘five halves’ for birthdays. Tom Jeffreys, physio An excellent young addition to the management team. Looking to further his career and within physiotherapy in some capacity and shares a passion for the game. Therefore, was a no brainer when an opportunity popped up to work with his local football club. Close mates with Dave Green, lives next door to the club, but still drives to the ground.

Dave Green, player and management liaison officer Long time servant to the club, Dave Green joins the first team management team this season with a new and crucial role! Dave has already pretty much done every role going at the club from manager, coach, committee member, sponsorship, event organiser to name a few. Now he has taken up the new challenge that will add the icing to the cake to an already exciting management setup. Still only 26, this guy bleeds green and white. Tries to put on a Scottish on occasions and aims to get a statue of himself at the ground in years to come. Richard Plumb, goalkeeping coach Rich is the newest addition to the management team, jumping at the chance to take up the GK role with Wantage as he progresses up the footballing ladder. Rich replaces former GK coach Woody and will put his own ideas into practice, putting our keepers through their paces. He is so new we are still getting to know him! First impressions though looks like he can ‘handle’ himself, excuse the pun.
