JIMMY Greaves
A TRIBUTE TO
JIMMY GREAVES
The whole football world must know that the greatest
goal scorer that this country has produced passed
away Sunday 19th September, aged 81. There will be
documentaries, interviews with past colleagues and
tributes galore appearing across all known media, but
Barnet FC had its special cameo appearance by Jimmy
at Underhill in the late 1970’s.
After historic seasons and goalscoring records with
England, Chelsea, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, and
finally West Ham in 1970/71, Jimmy was losing his
motivation to play. His last professional game at the
top level was 1st May 1971 for the Hammers against
Huddersfield Town. Unable to get to Barnet’s fixture at
Hereford that day, I actually went to the game at Upton
Park with my West Ham supporting Uncle. This now
that feels rather good to me right now. Jimmy also had
his well-documented problems with alcohol and gave
up football until 1975 when he turned out for his local
side Brentwood and then Southern League Chelmsford
City in 1976.
Dave Underwood, the Barnet FC Chairman at the time
and close friend said, “Jimmy realised that playing was
the only way he could combat his demons and at the
age of 37 he joined us at Barnet, what a catch!”
Barnet, managed by Billy Meadows, had just won the
Southern League Division One South, and returned
to the Premier League. Billy had recently used the
services of many more senior professionals to
achieve this, with Bob McNab (Arsenal), Marvin Hinton
(Chelsea) and Walter Lees (Watford) amongst others

HARRY KEWELL I N T E R I M HEAD COACH DEAN BRENNAN Dean, we host Weymouth FC in Vanarama National League at The Hive London on Saturday afternoon. How are you feeling ahead of the match? “We are looking forward to the game and I think that we have had a progressive week in training, especially on Thursday and Friday. “We have been focusing on our strengths in training and the players’ attitude has been excellent throughout the week. Everyone is looking forward to the game.” The players have had a full week of training. How are the lads fairing going into the match? “The players’ attitude has been spot on and I think this is the case from the start of the season. “From my point of view, I think that they have trained really well but let us see how we get on against Weymouth FC, because that is when we are judged. “Saturday is all about picking up three points.” When the players take to the pitch on Saturday afternoon, what are you expecting to see from them? “It is very important to do what we are good at and we need to give our supporters something to sing about. “That can be done by making tackles and being aggressive in our play.
HARRY KEWELL “We have got to express ourselves and the lads are going to have to work their socks off. “All you can ask of any person is to give 100% and that is what we are looking for on Saturday.” We signed Rob Hall during the week. Is it likely that he will make an appearance? “He will be in the squad and he has got a lot of talent. Rob (Hall) has been training with us over the last three weeks and we offered him a deal off the back of this. “We are delighted that he has joined and is something that we have not already got. He is also local to the Club which is very important when recruiting.” Looking ahead to our opposition on Saturday. What are you expecting from them? “Brian Stock has done a great job since joining the Club. They secured a good draw against Notts County recently and we know what a top side they are. “They have also beaten Solihull Moors away which was a great result for them. “Weymouth have plenty of ability in their squad and want to play football in the right way.” We have got two big home games coming up against Weymouth FC and Halifax Town. What impact can the supporters have on our results? “Our supporters can have a big impact, but we need to give them something to sing about. “Our players have got to go out there and give everything for their shirt. “It is very important that we take one game at a time though and we are fully focused on this Saturday. “We want to create a positive environment for our players and fans, but we can only do that by winning football matches.”

Sun May 15 BROMLEY H 3pmCHESTERFIELD AWAY POSTCARD Tuesday night northern away days are what I live for! I was looking forward to this one until I found out that my Dad was speaking at an online event till 18:00. However, with Chesterfield being so close to Leeds, there was no way we were going to miss this game so we left West Yorkshire around 15:00 to head to the stadium. The journey was quick and we arrived just after 16:00. To make the day work, my Mum and I were spending the afternoon in Chesterfield whilst my Dad sat in the car at his online event. Chesterfield is quite small and doesn’t have much that is open late in the evening so we ended up spending most the afternoon in the two Spoons’ in the town centre. My Dad joined us when his event had finished so we could have dinner before the game. We then headed out towards The Technique Stadium before finding parking near the ground. We were in our seats behind the goal about half an hour before kick-off. In the row behind us, we were joined by fellow northern Bee, Jonathan, who is at The Hive London today to celebrate his birthday. I would like to take this opportunity to wish him a happy birthday! The start of the game was far from ideal when Chesterfield took the lead six minutes in, after Tshimanga was free at the back post to slot in their first of the match. Just a minute later, things got even worse when the referee then awarded the Spireites a penalty for a trip in the box. Tshimanga put the penalty away calmly in front of us and it was clear the half was going to be an uphill battle! We settled into the game a bit more, but Chesterfield had their chances too, which we were doing well to keep out at the back. We took momentum forward and were able to get a goal back on 45 minutes with Tasdemir taking a shot which was deflected in. Three minutes were added at the end of the half and in the final minute we managed to level the score with Adam Marriott volleying in Sam Granville’s original shot from the edge of the box.. We went into half-time absolutely buzzing as we couldn’t believe what we had just witnessed! We had some chocolate and a cup of tea at half-time to settle the nerves before the teams were back out for the second-half. The half started quite evenly but Chesterfield were given another penalty on 63 minutes. Tshimanga stepped up for the spot kick and gave the hosts the lead once again. On 77 minutes, Chesterfield extended their lead from a free-kick that deflected off the wall and into the bottom corner. Despite being two goals behind, we continued pushing forward and Mason-Clark did so well when he came on but was unlucky not to score and the game finished 4-2 to Chesterfield. At the full-time whistle, it was nice to see Scott Loach get the lovely reception he deserved in front of our fans. Our players then came over to us too where they received applause from the travelling fans. Thankfully we were the lucky ones for once and despite a closure that made us drive through Sheffield, we were still home by 23:30. It was disappointing to lose the game, but it was an enjoyable day out nonetheless. To: Barnet Football Club Address : The Hive London, HA8 6AG From: Carla Devine

In total Barnet FC have won on 17 occasions, the Terras 19,
with 14 draws being played. Barnet’s record is stronger in
home games, with the Bees coming out as victors in 11 of
the games, Weymouth winning on six occasions and seven

Barnet’s new home came in 2019 in the FA Trophy and last
season in the league. The Bees have not lost to the Terras
since an FA Trophy game at Weymouth in January 1990, and
have not lost at home since April 1983.
There have been some memorable score lines between the
teams. Barnet won by 4-1 (in 1988), while the Bees also
lost 0-7 to Weymouth (in 1970). In 1971 there was a 4-4
draw in Dorset, with two goals from Lou Adams and one
apiece from Colin Powell and Peter Jenkins. Les Eason
(18), Eddie Stein (15), Kevin Millett (13) and Ben Embery
(13) have played most often against the Terras for the
Bees, while Roger Figg (four), Lou Adams (three), Les Eason
(three) and Nicky Evans (three) have scored most goals.
Some names for older supporters to savour there!
The largest attendance at Barnet between the sides was
2,414 in 1988, and the lowest 555 in 1983. The largest and
smallest crowds at Weymouth have been 3,001 for the first

The most recent home game with Weymouth saw the Bees
secure a 1-0 win in November, last year. It was played

A TRIBUTE TO
COLIN FLATT
The Club has lost another one of the Barnet family after
the passing of Colin Flatt, aged 81.
He started as an amateur at Leytonstone before spells
with Wisbech Town (over 160 appearances with 75
goals) and Cambridge United. Flatt then joined Leyton
Orient in 1965 before returning to Wisbech as Player/
Manager.
Colin joined Barnet FC in Summer 1971 from Romford
and made his debut on 14th August 1971 in a 3-2
win at Folkestone in a front four of Paddy Powell, Les
Eason and Lou Adams which was a formidable line
that was full of goals. He played a major part in the
Club’s FA Trophy run in that season. His two goals in
the last 15 minutes, Barnet were one down and Jack
McClelland had saved a penalty at Northern Premier
League Wigan Athletic, was perhaps the highlight
in Amber and Black and he did appear in the final
at Wembley where the Bees lost 0-3. He made 76
appearances at the Club, scoring 22 times. He briefly
managed the club in 1975 shortly before Billy Meadows
took over.
The Club sends its sincere sympathy to the Flatt family
and their friends.
Rest in Peace Colin.Official IT SUPPORT PARTNER 08000 248 900 twc-it-solutions.com

WHAT’S THE Buzz
Last week saw West Ham United legend Julian Dicks
depart his position as Heybridge Swifts manager.
The 53-year-old had originally joined the side over the
summer, having previously spent time managing the
Club during the 2018/19 season, winning the Isthmian
League Division One North play-offs, but being denied
promotion.
His two stints with the Essex club were separated
by a coaching spell at West Bromwich Albion under
former Hammers teammate Slaven Bilic. Dicks’
playing career also saw him feature for Birmingham
City, Liverpool, and Canvey Island, whilst he has also
managed Wivenhoe Town, Grays Athletic, and West
Ham Ladies.
The first National League manager to lose his job this
season is Danny Searle at Aldershot Town.
Searle had been in charge of the Hampshire club since
May 2019, taking over from former Bee Gary Waddock.
He led the side to 18th and 15th placed finishes in the
two curtailed seasons, with the side sitting in 21st
place at the time of his sacking on Monday morning.
This season the bottom three sides get relegated,
with the Shots having picked up just four points from
their opening seven fixtures thanks to one win and one
draw.
League Two side Rochdale have raised over £10,000
to create a statue of a fan who left his entire estate
to the club.
78-year-old David Clough passed away last year and
raised an estimated £500,000 for the Club selling
lottery tickets. Having been inspired by an effort by
Valencia in Spain, the Dale have erected a statue of
Clough, which will sit in his seat in the main stand at
Spotland.
Upon his passing, he left his entire estate, thought to
be in the region of £250,000, to the Club.
