We are pleased to say that we have now filled the vast majority of post 2nd world war gaps in the website archive of player appearances and goalscorers.

Many of our more mature supporters will remember the late Ken Thorn, who was a member of the Supporters Association Committee for many years, and he kept meticulous records from 1977 through to 1991, which included a large part of the data that we were missing. His notebook has been kept safe by Des McManus, another former HFCSA committee member, for many years, and Des kindly passed the book over to us a couple of months ago for which we send our grateful thanks.

We are just missing line-up data for 11 post-war games, and those games are listed at the bottom of this item. Futhermore - between January 1930 and May 1945 we are only missing data on a further 43 games. The gaps prior to 1930 are much more extensive.

The missing post war games are as follows - they are all league games unless stated.

25th December 1945 A v Wealdstone
26th December 1945 H v Wealdstone
15th April 1948 A v Bromley
3rd May 1951 H v Bromley
4th May 1951 A v Tooting & Mitcham United
3rd May 1955 H v Southall
31st March 1977 A v Sutton United (League Cup)
2nd April 1977 H v Ilford
23rd April 1977 H v Dulwich Hamlet
26th April 1977 A v Staines Town
30th April 1977 H v Slough Town

If you have any information on the above games that you think may be of use, please speak to any member of the Rogers family on a matchday, or email the website on admin@hendonfc.net. We will be delighted to hear from you. Equally, if you would like a list of all the matches on which we are missing data - please let us know and we can send you a copy.
