that day refers to the proposed promotion and relegation between the Athenian

each week, which is rarely achieved says Ken Knowlson in programme.

Jan 60
Norman Dearlove joins from Banstead Athletic. Debut 9/1/60. He was a rag and
bone man, and Tony Williams said he

used to come to the game, straight after work on the
Saturday, and smelt a bit. This was when they were both at Redhill a few

years on from
now. Said that they got on really well, despite being like chalk and cheese!

Norman
understandably disputes this account but did say that they got on well.

Dearlove
scored this day on his debut by chasing down a ball, and the keeper cleared
it against him, and it flew in off his

head says
Micky Williams!

I visited
Norman Dearlove on the 53rd anniversary of his debut at his home in
Carshalton. He is nearly 77 now but has just put

together a book of his experiences, aided by his neighbour
Trevor Hatcher, and taken from all the cuttings that his mother saved

from the
local papers.

Norman
started with Carshalton but couldn't break through to the first team
regularly and when they re-signed Gordon Cairns

he knew it would be difficult. He then went to Banstead
where he had greatest success against Surrey Senior League opponents.

However, he was approached by Epsom player Bernard
"Podge" Willis about coming to Epsom which he did. He soon became
a

favourite of the Chairman John Martin, and he would be
earning £8 per week which then rose to £10. At the end of 1959/60 John

offered him some help on a deposit for a house, but this
fell through because John's contact at the Estate Agents was ill and not

there. In the meantime Norman went on a tour of Western
Europe with Sutton United in 1960 and their Chairman Andrew Letts

made the same
offer and Norman would go there for a while.

One day when
walking to the game at Sutton Norman was approached by John Martin in
Collingwood Recreation Ground. He

offered to buy out the Sutton deal on his house (they had
paid the deposit) and to keep the remainder of a £500 cheque that he

gave him then and there if he would come to Epsom.
"Have a think about it" he was advised. As a result, he spoke to
the Sutton

Captain for a
bit of advice. Dave Leonard would eventually play for Epsom towards

the end of his career. He was clearly surprised to see the
offer and suggested that Norman should definitely go for it. However,

Leonard obviously had a word with officials and after the
game in which Norman had scored a hat trick, Andrew Letts asked to see

him and discussed the situation with him. Letts was a
solicitor and advised that this sort of offer was not Amateur and that
Sutton

would go to
the FA about it and that he would be finished in football. They took the
cheque from him and would not return it.

He also found
that his team mates wouldn't give him the ball anymore out on the pitch.

Fearing for his football life he advised John Martin of
what had happened, which he understood. He then chose to leave Sutton

after the
way he had been treated, but didn't feel he could go to Epsom in case they
made a fuss so went to Redhill instead.

He then
spent later years at Dorking although he would return to play for Epsom twice
more, once after damaging a cruciate

ligament
which was originally expected to end his career in around 1963. He then got
an offer to become Redhill Reserves

Manager while injured and then Martin Eede, later to go to
Molesey, quit as First team Manager and Norman got the job, which he

held for a little while with some success. He also Managed
at Dorking after falling out with the Redhill Chairman John Denman.

He played for
us on the final occasion in 1964/65.

Norman died
on 16th December 2014 at the age of 78.

5/3/60 Tommy
Millard scores 3 v Leatherhead. Ernie Watkins "making one of his
infrequent appearances" also scored.

12/3/60
Tommy Millard scores 4 at Slough in a 6-4 win, while Ernie Watkins scores
again, as does new boy Tony Carroll who

shows
"distinct promise".

19/3/60 Many
replacements required but we still won 2-0 at Horsham.

26/3/60 No
game for Reserves.

9/4/60 a
"most satisfactory" display as Tommy Millard gets four in a 6-0
home win over Horsham.

16/04/60 Programme Line Up for this match: Jed Cary,
R.Johnstone (probably Bob Johnson), Peter Collett, Lew Tucker, Ken
Brown,

G.Harding,
(probably Ted Harding), Roy Adair, Jan Sorensen, Tommy Millard, Ernie
Watkins, Steve Dunwoody

16/4/60 Epsom
win 3-1 at Erith & Belvedere.

18/04/60 Programme Line Up for this match: Jed Cary,
R.Johnstone (probably Bob Johnson), Peter Collett, Lew Tucker, Ken
Brown,

G.Harding, (probably Ted Harding), Roy Adair, Jan
Sorensen, Tommy Millard, Ernie Watkins, Steve Dunwoody - unchanged from
16/4/60.

18/4/60 Epsom
lose 3-1 at Chesham United on Easter Monday.

30/4/60 Lost 3-1 at the White Lion to Edgware. Originally
listed in error as 30/1/60 but league table didn't include it then and
it

appeared in
late April instead. Clearly this was an error on my part.

May 60 Mick
Barber joins from Worcester Park. Expected to play in evening k.o. v Dorking
on 7/5/60
