HISTON FC ARCHIVE
This page is the first release aimed at getting the club’s archives online and available to everyone. Initially it lists the games we have records for as well as all league tables but we will expand and improve it over time. To start with the data is uploaded as Excel worksheets as that is the easiest way to get things up and running but that may change at some point in the future.
There are inevitably some errors within the data but it is a constant work in progress and will be updated as and when new data is added or can be updated.
We are always on the lookout for old programmes, photos, scrapbooks or any memorabilia or records of any kind that you may have so if you have anything you’re willing to donate or lend to the club we would be delighted to hear from you. Likewise, if you see anything that you think is wrong or if you have information that would add to what we already have then please contact howard.wilkins@histonfc.co.uk. We would be very happy to hear from you!
With thanks to all of our contributors for their time, knowledge and donations so far: John Payne, Tony Nelson, Ray Thurston, Bill Parker, Ron Downes, Tony Palmer, Phil Johnson, Alan Doyle, Jez Downes…..
The Game List currently stands at over 3,500 games and includes dates, competition, venue, opposition, scorers, attendance, referee and manager wherever we have that information currently available. You should be able to filter and sort as you wish.
The tables are grouped by decade on the tabs in the sheet below. For some years the full data is not available (or at least has not yet been tracked down!) but we have made each year as complete as we can and we have added notes where necessary.
We are currently cataloging our match day programme collection and will make examples available electronically from time-to-time.
Histon v Cambridge United, 16th December 2006
Histon v Soham Town Rangers, 16th August 1969
The club archive is bigger than we have so far published. Much remains offline so far and is constantly being updated but over time we’ll add more to this site with future plans to include…
- List of First Team Managers and dates
- List of players with biographies and photos where possible
- Player statistics (currently we have full playing records dating back to the 2004/05 season and partial records for various seasons before then)
- Full list of physical and digitally held programmes
No doubt there will be more as we go on and if you have any suggestions for what you’d like to see or any feedback on what is already here then please feel free to contact howard.wilkins@histonfc.co.uk.
