Fab to see our zine getting a mention in different creative places. Cheers Jan. And we're always pleased to have @iancusack.bsky.social's contributions. A cracking writer. You'll have to meet Ian, Jan. Perhaps a trip to the north east, when Ferriby are up that way.

Always good to meet up with former school mates for a match. This time it was @belpertownfc.bsky.social
1 vs @corbytown.bsky.social 2. Not the best of games but lots of incident with noisy away fans. Pyro for the Corby equaliser. And good chat with a Burnley/Long Eaton fan.

Careful. I'll be asking the Dennett family to cover postage costs if he wins 😅

Over on the other place, we have a poll for our December Player of the Month. Reply to make your vote count....

When in Kilnsea for the evening, it has to be the Crown and Anchor, and I had to show my other half then most amazing programme team sheet, and local history. And it's 64 years old TOMORROW MORNING! 😍

Enjoyable sunset run down Spurn Point to the lighthouse (and its Ferriby green door) and back on New Year's Eve Eve.

Get your Imperial Leather Plastic Football. You see what they did there? 😅

Santa's been down at Ferriby this evening, with a controversial line-up for our Boxing Day fixture.

2-2 away at Hallam. Fair result in a scrappy game on a very heavy pitch. Dennison's goal was a peach. A game where you had to get the ball in the box and see what happens.....and the result was 3 goals. Good to see the replica Youdan again, made at the same time as the original.

Here's @hallamfc1860.bsky.social 's Sandygate in 1945, 1950 and 1962, all from Historic England's archive

Yay, it's the most wonderful time of the year! Come and see us on Boxing Day, or get your copy through the post.

General Franco's appointed successor, Luis Carrero Blanco, was assassinated by an ETA bomb. The dictatorship limped on for two more years.

What role did football play in standing up to Franco? Find out in my book, The Defiant: A History of Football Against Fascism 👇🏼
