THOSE WERE THE DAYS
May 17th 1966
Spartan League Cup Final
Hampton 3 Banstead Athletic 1 (after extra time)
Allen, Timberlake, Morris

Joe Andrews; Roger Blackmore, Alan Earl, Don Aldridge, Ron King, Brian Morris, Dave Timberlake, Lance Wintle, Peter Allen, Ken Merry, Graham Rowley.

Banstead almost caused a shock when they took Spartan League Champions, Hampton, all the way to extra time in this League Cup Final at Staines Town. Banstead’s, Peter Chase gave Banstead the lead after 5 minutes, after which there were several near misses at both ends. It wasn’t until the 85th minute that Hampton equalised through Morris. The equaliser was celebrated by a mini-invasion of younger Hampton supporters. Allen scored in the 106th minute, before Timberlake put the issue beyond doubt in the 118th minute.

That's it for now, planning to do a new set for next season.
