NOTES FROM THE CHAIRMAN
PAUL MANNING
Thank you to all of our supporters who attended our FA cup game on Saturday. We have a proud tradition (of sorts) in the FA Cup as we have never gone out in this round of the cup, but I suppose there is a first time for everything! In season 2017/18 we had a great little cup run, beating Padiham away 2-1 in a game fondly remembered for various reasons. It was our first ever FA Cup game, we took a massive amount of supporters to the game who were filmed for the Awayday Bible film “the problem with modern football”, everyone had a great time on the day which is now saved for posterity. Also, on the day then Padiham manager Steve Wilkes was banned from the ground
so spent his time at the top of a ladder watching the game over the wall and having a good time with the visiting Purps. Longy also nearly got decapitated in the match and went on to make a superb save with the game poised at 1-1, before Tom Peterson came on and got the winner with his first and second touches. In the next round we firstly drew with Prescot Cables 2-2 in front of a 900+ crowd on a Friday night, before absolutely annihilating them the following Tuesday 8-2 in front of an even bigger 900+ crowd at Vesty Road in what remains as one of the greatest performances in our history. We then drew NPL Premier Division side Nantwich Town at home in the next round and played in front of our first ever 1000+ crowd (1027 actually). We battered them but as the game entered injury time, John Connolly agonisingly rolled the ball across a completely empty goal line with no one on hand to tap home, before Nantwich went up the other end and hit a specula-
NOTES FROM THE CHAIRMAN
PAUL MANNING tive shot that took a double deflection to beat Longrigg in goal and send us out of the cup. Season 2018/19 saw us achieve our best ever cup run, beating Silsden 3-1 (crowd 630!!) Glossop NE 3-2 in a replay after an initial 1-1 draw (another great night for Purps’ supporters), Squires Gate 5-1 away (we played them 4 times that season), before succumbing to Chester 4-0 in front of our record crowd of 1806. 2019/20 saw early victories against Campion and Skelmersdale Utd (a brilliant Hazlehurst finish for the winner) before a 2-2 away draw with Warrington Town (2 more great Hazlehurst goals) and 0-4 home loss in front of our record home crowd of 1099 and the injury that effectively saw the end of Danny Dalton’s career. Last season began with a great 3-0 away win at Glossop in front of a limited crowd of 390, before one of our worst performances ever in a 0-3 home defeat to Morpeth, again in front of a covid limited crowd in the 1st qualifying
round. All Committee, Staff, Players and Supporters of Glossop North End are welcome with us today and we hope for some good, clean fun and a Purps victory!! #UTP

OUR OPPONENTS TODAY
Glossop North End FC Early years Glossop North End were founded in 1886, when they played friendly amateur matches. They played at various grounds in the town, including Pyegrove, Silk Street, Water Lane and Cemetery Road before settling at North Road. The club joined the North Cheshire League in 1890, before moving to the Combination in 1894 and turning professional. In their first season in the Combination, 1894–95, they finished as runners-up. After ending the following season, 1895–96, in third, the club moved to the Midland League and in the 1896–97 season finished as runners-up. After a second season in the Midland League, they were elected to the Second Division of the Football League in 1898–99 finishing as runners-up to Manchester City and winning promotion to the First Division. They then changed their name to Glossop (primarily to avoid any confusion with Preston North End) before spending their one and only season in the top flight, 1899–1900 when they finished in last place and were relegated back to the Second Division, having won only 4 matches, all at home, against Burnley, Notting-
ham Forest, Blackburn and Aston Villa.
They then spent the next fifteen seasons in the Second Division, during which time they reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in 1908– 09 where they lost to 1–0 to eventual finalists Bristol City in a replay on 10 March 1909. The club’s chairman and benefactor at the time was Sir Samuel HillWood, who was later to become chairman of Arsenal. However, the club became perennial strugglers in the Second Division. The 1913–14 season saw a club record attendance of 10,736 for an FA Cup second round match against Preston North End on 31 January 1914. However, the following season they finished bottom of the league and
had to apply for re-election. This was curtailed when the start of World War I meant the Football League closed down. Glossop were then re-formed toward the end of the war by Oswald Partington, but failed to be re-elected back into to the Football League. Glossop then joined the Lancashire Combination, playing just one season, 1919–20. Northern Nomads ground-shared with Glossop for several years during this time. The club then dropped out of the Lancashire Combination and into the Manchester League. In the 1920s and 1930s they won the Gilcryst Cup three times and were crowned Manchester League champions in 1927–28. They won the Gilcryst Cup for a fourth time in 1947–48.
1950’s onwards During 1955, the club moved from its original home of North Road to their current ground Surrey Street. In 1957 Glossop re-joined the Lancashire Combination, finishing in eighth in 1957–58. They spent nine seasons in the league before dropping back down once more to the Manchester League after the 1965–66 season. They joined the Cheshire County League as founder members of Division Two in the 1978–79 season, finishing in 17th. In 1980–81 they were Division Two runners-up, only losing out on the title on goal differ-
ence, but still winning promotion to Division One. After a sixth-place finish in 1981–82, the club became founder members of the newly formed North West Counties Football League in 1982 when the Cheshire County League merged with the Lancashire Combination. In 1986, the club marked their centenary season with a match with sister club Arsenal. They joined Division One, however they struggled in the league for the next six seasons and after finishing bottom in 1987–88 were relegated to Division Two. The 1990–91 season saw the club reach the fourth round of the FA Vase where they lost to Cammell Laird 2–1 in a replay. They also won the North West Counties Football League Division Two Cup, beating Cheadle Town 2–1 in the final. However, the club almost folded in 1990–91 when their then Chairman sold the ground to the local council and left the club with large debts. The present Board of Directors took over in January 1991. After a sixthplace finish in 1991–92 they were promoted back to Division One over higher placed clubs and after the season the directors reverted the club’s name to Glossop North End. In their first season under the club’s original name, they reached the semi-finals of the North West Counties League Cup, before los-
ing to Nantwich Town 5–2 over two legs. They reached the semi-finals of the League’s floodlit Cup in 1994–95, losing to Penrith 3–1 over two legs. In the 1996–97 season they beat Trafford in the final of the Manchester Premier Cup at Old Trafford, before winning the competition again the following season, this time beating Radcliffe Borough in the final at Maine Road. They also reached the semi-finals of the North West Counties League Cup, losing to Vauxhall Motors 3–1 over two legs.
2000’s onwards In the 2000–01 season they won the Derbyshire County Football Association Senior Challenge Cup beating Glapwell in a two-legged final, drawing 3–3 away and 2–2 at home before winning 4–2 on penalties. In the league the club struggled to avoid relegation from Division One throughout much of the early 2000s, before finishing ninth in 2006–07, the highest position attained by manager Chris Nicholson in his six seasons at the club. Nicholson announced in March 2007 that he was to step down at the end of the season. As a result, his assistant Steve Young was eventually appointed manager for 2007–08. In the 2008–09 season they reached the final of the FA Vase where they lost 2–0 to Northern League First
Division side Whitley Bay at Wembley Stadium, on 10 May 2009. Due to this achievement, Arsenal, with whom they retain connections due to Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood’s grandfather Sir Samuel Hill-Wood having owned and bankrolled Glossop during their run in the Football League, invited them to their state-of-the-art London Colney training ground during their stay in London, to prepare for the FA Vase final. In May 2013 the club appointed Chris Wilcock as first team manager. In his first season the team finished third in the North West Counties League. During the season Glossop produced an unbeaten run in the league of 22 games, with only 5 draws, stretching from November 2013 until they were beaten by Bootle on April 2014. On 19 April 2015 Glossop beat Nelson to win the North West Counties League Premier Division, earning promotion to Division One North of the Northern Premier League. They also reached two cup finals; the North West Counties League Cup, where they faced Atherton Collieries winning 2–0, and the FA Vase final, in which they played North Shields at Wembley Stadium. In a repeat of the 2009 final, Glossop were beaten 2–1 after extra time. Glossop began the 2015–16 season in the Northern Premier League Division
One North. They also competed in the FA Trophy for the first time since 1986. The club finished fourth and qualified for the playoffs but lost 2–1 to Northwich Victoria in the semi final. At the end of the 2016-17 season Chris Wilcock resigned as manager, leaving the position after 4 seasons and as the winningest manager in recorded history. On 19 May 2017 the club announced that the joint team of Steve Halford and Paul Phillips would take the reins at Surrey Street. On 12 March 2018 the management team left Glossop to join Buxton. Goalkeeper coach Mark Canning took over as caretaker manager, assisted by Andy Bishop. This was made a permanent position at the end of the 2017-18 season After a poor run of results, culminating in a loss to Widnes in mid October, Mark and Andy were sack as managers. After a short search the board appointed ex Mossley due Peter Band and Lloyd Morrison as joint managers on 14 Oct 2018 In an unprecedented move the majority of football activities were ceased mid March 2020 due to the coronavirus, and by the end of March the NPL took the decision along with all step 4 and lower divisions to end the season early and expunge all results with no promotion or relegation taking place. This left Glossop situated in the South East Division for a 2nd season due to the Step 4
re-alignment not occurring. At the beginning of August Joint Manager Lloyd Morrison departed the club to become Cheadle Town’s manager. The coronavirus took centre stage again in the 20/21 season, with only a handful of games being played before the season was cancelled in Feb 2021. This was followed in March 2021 by the resignation of manager Pete Band who left to join up with his hometown team Macclesfield FC. The new manager, Stuart Mellish, took charge at the beginning of May ready to start the 2021/22 season in the newly realigned Northern Premier League West Division.

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation is a charity set up in memory of Daniel Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he was 10, earning a professional contract aged 18. Loughborough University followed where he completed a degree in Accounting and Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him. Other than feeling light-headed on a few occasions in the month before he died, he had no symptoms!
SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN THE YOUNG (SCD) SCD is the leading cause of death in young athletes during sport and the majority of deaths occur with NO SYMPTOMS or family history. ARVC can be found in one in every 1,000 to 5,000 young adults - IF IT IS LOOKED FOR. Warning signs may include light-headedness, fainting, palpitations, swollen legs, breathlessness. Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and healthy young people (aged 35 and under) die from previously undiagnosed heart conditions. In Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have reduced the incidence of young sudden cardiac death by 89%.
OUR MISSION The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise awareness of SCD and to provide funding towards heart screening, defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training primarily for grass-roots sporting teams. Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac screening. It is vital that young people are identified and treated.
