Quote: "Have you got the crate of beer on the coach yet, Whitey? Had some great times on the away trips, never a dull moment.

Favourite Game: 7-6 at Farnborough and, in the same season, a 6-1 win at home to Cambridge City. Also a Boxing Day win at Sittingbourne (2-0?) which was the first away win of that season.

John White

Supported City Since: 1968
Favourite City Player of All Time: Peter Taylor (A true pro)
Best City Goal: Billy Goldstone (vs Dartford, away, 1990)
Favourite Game: vs Weymouth (F.A. Cup). I did a spying mission on Weymouth a few nights beforehand and reported back to Joe O'Sullivan. I said that that if we could mark Tony Agana and a certain half-Italian chap out of the game then we would have a chance. Bob Makin duly had Agana tied up in knots for most the game, one of his best games in a City shirt.

Stuart Willsher

Supported City Since: 1989
Favourite City Player of All Time: Mitchell Springett was the first City player I saw score, but of those I've seen I'll have to say Dennis Greene. He always scored when I saw him play.
Best City Goal: Too many to recall, but the winner against V.S Rugby that got us into the F.A. Cup proper has to be up there! Not just for quality, but for enjoyment.
Favourite Game: Probably the V.S Rugby game, though I also remember a 0-0 from the early 90's, which is the best 0-0 I've ever seen.
Quote: "Up The City"!
