About this match programme
By Richard Snowball This programme is from the 1954-55 1st Round F.A. Cup tie against Midland League side and local rivals Scarborough who fielded several ex York City players as listed in the programme notes. A tough and hard fought match ended with York scoring a late goal to win 3-2 in front of a crowd of 10,155. City had started the season well in Division Three North and came into the match on a ten match unbeaten run scoring five goals in each of the previous two games. The programme notes say they were hoping to do well in the cup this season. What an understatement that turned out to be, as will be shown in the programmes that will follow this one.
