Reached Final
of Southern Combination Cup to be played early next season against Walton
& Hersham

June 82
Announced that Epsom are one of only seven clubs who qualify for a share of
the sponsorship pool.

June 82 Russell Harmsworth joins from Croydon. Age 19.
Alan Webb is appointed Reserve Team Manager by Adrian Hill.

June 82 Planning delays as Epsom have their decision on
keeping the clubhouse as a permanent structure deferred again. It is

eventually accepted in August. Jim Keirle a Director of
the club at the time writes in to the local papers to criticise the
delay.

He lived at Monks Road, Banstead. Again Councillor Chris
Pottinger was against the idea, despite describing himself as a lifelong fan.

It still can't
open on Sundays, and only 6 functions with music are allowed in a calendar
year.

22/6/82 AGM at
Clubhouse. 8.15 k.o. A Tuesday evening.

Club announce a loss of £22,000 leaving them with an
overall deficit of just under £10,000. Expenditure was up but income
also

rose by £36,000 largely due to the new clubhouse. Also the
club have ended their monthly lottery, while to Durst UK representatives

left the club, Noel Rundle and Bunny Wolbarst, but
sponsorship will continue, and increases by over 66% to £66,000. Also
Derek

Green is added
to the Committee. A Youth Team are to be reformed too.

£12,000
interest on the Clubhouse loan but bar turnover went from £21k to £57k.

Aug 82 Steve
Delaney and Les Peck return, but Peck doesn't stay long as work means that he
has to move away.

Aug 82 Keith
Seager is at Staines - former Kingstonian

Aug 82 Tony Coombe is expected to return while Gary Kent
and Kevin Duffell also return, along with Sean O'Connell. Lee Richardson

has left for
Whyteleafe, and Steve Chapman is now coach at Beckenham, but he would return
later.

3/8/82 New players for Croydon friendly include Steve
Milton (West Ham), Clive Offer (Malden Town), Ray Woods (Sutton), Mick

Sorensen (son of Jan Sorensen the 50's Epsom player, and
brother of Erik (70's)). Won 1-0 with a Mick Stratford goal after 5 minutes.

4/8/82 Epsom XI 0-3 Fulham XI. Tommy Tuite, Gerry Archer,
Richard Parkin, Ted Yorke, Trevor Wales, Joe Fascione, and Colin Rose

all played for
Epsom, while Tony Gale, Les Strong, Ray Lewington and Ray Houghton played for
Fulham.

Line up: Peter Burdett, Gary Kent (Sos Ferrar 45), Alan
Webb, Trevor Wales (Ted Yorke 45), Colin Rose, Mick Stratford, Steve Hill,

Tommy Tuite, Richard Parkin, Tony Coombe (Joe Fascione
45), Jeff Hunn (Gerry Archer 45). Surrey Comet says Att 1,100.

700 programmes printed - all sold out. Alan Webb's eldest
son Kevin was mascot. He would eventually make over 200 appearances.

7/8/82 Weakened side lost 5-2 at Arundel, although Epsom
let two late goals in to make the scoreline look more flattering.

10/8/82
Friendly draw with Staines Town 1-1 at West Street. Colin Morris played
against his old club.

14/8/82 Epsom win 3-2 at Herne Bay in a friendly. Epsom's
second saw the keeper throw the ball straight out to Steve Milton,

who headed it
straight back over him and into the net!

17/8/82 Epsom are due to have a friendly with Whyteleafe
this day but instead play Beckenham winning 4-1 with three goals in

the last ten
minutes for Epsom. Game played at Kingston Poly.

Aug 82 After the Beckenham match Adrian Hill left to sign
up keeper Malcolm Broadway from Bromley. He was formerly with

Charlton
Athletic and was with Bromley for many years.

21/8/82 Opening game of the season sees an unlucky 2-1
loss to Boreham Wood who scored the winner after 89 minutes, only for

Epsom to miss
a last minute penalty (SAVE) from Kelvin Roots.

Andy Stewart
and Steve Milton first ever players to be signed on contract

Russell Harmsworth advised that both he and Steve Milton
were at Redhill Youth. Milton got scouted by West Ham United, while

scouted by Croydon!

his debut. Epsom had been 2-0 up before letting Chesham
back in. The winner was in injury time. Barry Hughes broke his nose in

this game and
was replaced by Steve Milton.

5/10/82 An inept performance saw Epsom 2-0 down at HT and

"miserable crowd" of 180 saw Epsom lose 3-2 to Walton & Hersham
in a League match.

after falling behind after 27 seconds! Replay is the following Monday,

but is lost 2-0 due to a great display in goal from Joe

good 3-0 win is recorded at Hornchurch.

Nov 82 future
player Gary Dodd joins Egham from Walton & Hersham.

his one and only appearance for the club this day in a 4-1 Southern

from Moorgate.

Albans. Steve Hill missed a great chance, and the hosts went down the other

end and
scored.

11/12/82 London Senior Cup tie at Beckton United is a 2pm
k.o. as they do not have floodlights. Epsom win 1-0 with a Hill penalty.

Dec 82 Adrian Hill calls a players meeting after Nick
Palmer was selected for the first team but chose to remain with the Reserves.
He

will not be

Hill scores four goals in a revenge win over St Albans, who are crushed 5-0.

Dec 82 Stan
Bailey urges supporters to turn up in greater numbers. Less than 30% of last
seasons figures he says.

Dec 82 Mark Jonas a former Sutton and Fulham junior joins
Epsom from Dulwich Hamlet. Nick Palmer has also now settled his

differences
with the club and returns as a player.

Dec 82 Pat O'Connell takes the club to an Industrial
Tribunal on the basis of Constructive Dismissal. The case was settled out of

court after a two day hearing. He alleged that he had been
told to sack his team and replace them with younger players, but this

seems unlikely. More likely was Arthur Evans' claim
regarding a cut in expenses from £30 per week to £20 with younger ones on
£10.

Herald
believes that O'Connell won compensation from the club, and it was this which
was settled out of court.

27/12/82 lost v Hampton 1-2. Last League home defeat until
14/3/84. 24 games. Mark Jonas scored on debut, but a late winner for

Hampton.
Future players Paul Riley and Peter Bartlett played for Hampton.

1/1/83 Hampton
complete the double with a 2-0 win at Beveree.

Jan 83
Leatherhead deny that Pat O'Connell is about to become their new
manager.

Jan 83 A Football Club statement reads that O'Connell's
claim for Constructive Dismissal was withdrawn before any of the club

officials even gave evidence. No compensation has, or will
be granted by the club. Very critical of the "grossly inaccurate"
Herald

report, which
was "condemned".

Jan 83 Epsom are finally granted Sunday opening at their
new clubhouse. It had been allowed in the old one, but not the new one!

8/1/83 Barry
Hughes is out for 6 weeks with a back injury, and Epsom lose 2-1 at Sutton
United in Surrey Senior Cup.

12/1/83 Surrey v Kent under 16's @ West Street. Prog Y. In
the line up was Mike Erlebach (W & H), Steve Flack (Addlestone &

the club from Hampton.

for manning the gate. Vic Lumm gates created in memory.

He was 57 and
lived at Laburnum Road. Had been involved at the club since 1963, but more
active since

1974. A
minutes silence was held at the Kingstonian game.

18/1/83 Andy Stewart selected for Northern Ireland v Wales
@ Rhyl. Norman Whiteside was withdrawn from this squad, as United

had a big game the next day. Wales win 2-0. Clayton

at home to Hertford this day. Mick Stratford concussed and went to hospital.

there.

£15.

Feb 83 Steve
Hill is now on a school trip, while Mark Jonas is missing a few matches with
business commitments.

Feb 83 "Mr Sperring" lends a picture of Epsom
with the Sutton Hospital Cup to the local papers. It is the same one I now
have a photo

of, down to the slight scar at the bottom. Ernie Sperring
had written that it was the Surrey Senior Cup on the back which the papers

just accepted. 1922 photo it says, but it was actually
1924. It was George Sperring, Reg's son who lives in Hookfield as of 2007.

12/2/83 Fine
performance from Steve Chapman in the snow at Boreham Wood. Another 0-0 draw.

Lost toss of
coin and final to be played at Walton.

3/5/83 Stratford's appeal sees the result that the case
was dismissed. With no cost to the club. Presume this means that the booking

clear.
