Club stats show
Tim Tweedy is advised as 25 apps but it was actually 26.

are correct here.

six matches and
Banstead's first defeat in seven.

Mar 90 former
player Rob Dilger joins from Dorking.

3/3/90 Epsom
still can't beat Bracknell at home as a dreadful performance enabled the
visitors to win 3-2.

Future Camberley and Cove Manager Koo Dumbaya scored the
first and the second was a penalty rebound, after Rick

Collier saved
the original penalty. Andrews reduced the deficit before Epsom equalised in
the second half, but

a minute later
they were behind again for good. Five Epsom players booked, four for
arguing.

8/3/90 This
result was the last straw, as the Committee decided to sack Ricky Kidd,
although

strangely gave
him one last game before he would be replaced.

10/3/90 John
Cook leaves for Leatherhead

10/3/90 last
game for Ricky Kidd as manager who is sacked with effect from the next game,
0-0 draw

at Camberley.
The home keeper stopped everything that day as Epsom played quite well.

Paper says
Kidd made 122 appearances but he only made 120, scoring 22 goals. He then
signed on as a

player for his
home club Merstham. He was still a good player at the age of 35.

Isthmian League
Bulletin says that Kidd left through mutual consent!

It was
rumoured in the papers that many players would leave after the shock
announcement, but it was only a

shock because
Epsom so rarely sacked their managers. He was the third after Bill Kennedy
and Alan Webb.

Sutton make an
approach for Neil Robson, while Brian Perkins and Paul Andrews never play for
the club again.

17/4/90 League
Bulletin advises that Kidd and Perkins have gone to Molesey. Neil

Robson, Bob
Horne, Rick Collier and Mark Norman all leave the club says the bulletin
news.

Ricky Kidd is
understandably disappointed and pointed to the signing of the youngsters on
contracts, although

it must be
said that these contracts would be null and void if Kidd left, so he was
covering himself a bit.

He said
"In the end unfortunately, a lot of clubs are run by people who do not
really realise these sort of things."

He credits Dave
Wilson and Stella and accepted that the Director actually told him to his
face.

12/3/90 Tony
Hoy joins from Whyteleafe

13/3/90 first
game back as manager for Adrian Hill. A 1-1 draw at Egham.

He had been
offered the job on Thursday night but had been approached earlier to find out
his interest. He

appeals to the
players to remain until the end of the season and advises that youngsters
will be given a chance.

He says
"that is full marks to Ricky Kidd and the rest of the staff who have
attracted the young talent."

He persuades
eight players to remain for now. Andrews has gone to Whyteleafe and Perkins
to Molesey.

Tony Hoy and
Simon Andrews join from Whyteleafe. George Smith is believed to have left the
club.

16/3/90 English
Schools F.A. 4th Round tie @ West Street. Wilson's School v Millfield. Prog

Clive
Hadingham's player contract was cancelled from 20/3/90, confirms the FA on
22/3/90.

Also Lyndon
Buckwell and Paul Mumford's contract cancelled on the same date.

Presume this
was connected to the departure of Ricky Kidd, but could have been cancelled
by the club. All

three players
remained with the club into the 90/91 season.

They were
probably void.

17/3/90 Newbury
hammer a weak Epsom 3-0 despite Tim Tweedy hitting the post early in the
game.

20/3/90 Tim
Tweedy put Epsom ahead from 30 yards against Chertsey after 16 minutes and
led at HT, but they

lose at home
2-1.

22/3/90 Simon
Alldridge joins from Whyteleafe

24/3/90 Arjan van Sliedregt plays his last game for Epsom
before returning to Holland due to work commitments. Epsom

lead against Eastbourne United after 30 seconds and never
looked back, winning 3-1. Simon Alldridge returned to

the club from
Leatherhead. David Fry missed this game through suspension.

Mar 90 Rick
Collier left the club for Three Bridges and Ricky Kidd has now moved to join
Perkins at Molesey.

Arthur Evans
the former coach over so many years has also left the club. Paul Andrews is
now reported to

be at Malden
Vale, along with George Smith.

31/3/90 Two
goals in the first seven minutes (including the first after 13 seconds) made
Epsom's job difficult,

although they
had Captain Paul Mumford sent off on the hour before reducing the arrears
after 68 through

Carlton
Walcott. Two minutes later it was 3-1. A Hungerford player was sent off near
the end too.

Apr 90 former player Colin Rose is Assistant Manager at
Met Police where he has spent much of his playing career.

unfortunate to lose.

14/4/90 A
strange day at Malden Vale as Epsom score five second half goals in eighteen
minutes. The hosts

had been
reduced to nine men by then. Paul Mumford missed the game starting a three
game suspension,

and Jason
Hopper was injured with Robert Frankland coming in for his debut. George
Smith and Paul Andrews

played for
Malden Vale this day.

Adrian Hill
was also missing this day, playing in a veterans tournament at Lensbury so
John Sears took charge.

21/4/90 Early
pressure counts for little as Feltham score two second half goals to win 2-0
at West Street.

Debut for
Danny Potterton and Epsom finished with ten men as James Dack limped off with
a knee injury.

Apr 90 former player Norman Dearlove takes on the Reserve

alight but a member of

spotted it and called the police. Minimal damage caused.

28/4/90 Epsom
bounce back for their third win at Harefield in the last three visits. They
also won there on their

other visit in
August 1975. Nigel Bennett came in for the unavailable Tim Tweedy, making
five youth teamers

in the eleven
and Hadingham scored after ten minutes with a spectacular volley. He scored
again after 25

minutes with a
shot that went in off the post. HT was 2-1 but Walcott made it 3-1 soon after
the interval but at

3-2 Epsom were
hanging on a bit.

After the
match Adrian Hill said that he won't be releasing any players but that they
need to reach that Malden

Vale standard
more regularly.
