THOSE WERE THE DAYS
May 14th 1968
Spartan League Cup Final
Hampton 2 Egham Town 1
Rowlands, Carter

Joe Andrews; Alan Earl, Brian Smith, Don Aldridge, Graham Belcher, Ken Merry, Syd Carter, Mickey Garman, Peter Allen, Dave Timberlake, Arthur Rowlands.

In beating Egham Town, Hampton retained the trophy. Egham took the lead in the 15th minute, when Styles beat Smith in the air and Edginton breasted the ball past Andrews. Egham held off Hampton’s attacks until the 32nd minute when a Timberlake through pass was seized upon by Rowlands drew keeper Shrimpton and slotted the ball past him. The decisive goal didn’t arrive until the 83rd minute, Carter, who unusually had wasted several chances, headed home a Timberlake cross.

Syd Carter, 93 apps 66 goals 1966/67 – 1967/68
(Syd’s son, Martin played for the club 1999 – 2002)
