Old English crabba hol, meaning a hole in which crabs are found. The stadium,

JOINED WATFORD AT THE AGE OF
26.
In 1996, Hessenthaler joined Gillingham
and spent the next ten years at the club
as player and later player-manager,
managing the club to its highest ever
finish in the English football league system
and becoming regarded as a legend of
the Kent club. After leaving Gillingham,
he had a short spell at Barnet, before
joining Dover Athletic in 2007. In his
two seasons in charge he led the club to
successive championships, of Isthmian
League Division One South and the
Isthmian League Premier Division. After
three years at Dover, he became manager
at Gillingham for the second time, but his
contract was terminated at the end of the
2011–12 season. He returned to the club
as assistant manager in 2014, before taking
on a similar role at Leyton Orient the
following year. In 2016, he was appointed
manager of the club, but was sacked
later the same year. In November he was
appointed manager of Eastleigh, but the
following year left to return to Dover.

BARNETFC.COMOPPOSITION
NON-LEAGUE CAREER
As a teenager, Hessenthaler played for the youth team of his local club
Dartford. He later joined Fawkham-based amateur team Corinthian, but
Charlton Athletic took him on in 1983 on a non-contract trial basis. He failed to
secure a contract with the club, however, and returned to playing on a part-time
basis while working as a builder. In 1986, he was spotted by Dartford manager
Peter Taylor while playing in a Kent Senior Cup match. Hessenthaler signed for
his hometown club on a wage of £40 per week, the first regular income he had
ever received for playing.
Hessenthaler spent four years at the club, during which time Dartford reached
the semi-finals of the FA Trophy on two occasions and finished twice as
runners-up in the Southern League. In 1990, he was called up to the England
National Game XI, the national team for semi-professional players. Later that
year, he moved on to Redbridge Forest, where he spent one season and helped
the team win the Isthmian League championship.
SUBSEQUENT CAREER
On 19 January 2006, Hessenthaler signed for League Two strugglers Barnet
on a short-term contract until the end of the season. Although he considered
retiring at the end of the season, he was persuaded by manager Paul Fairclough
to sign a new contract for a further year. In October 2006, he was named in the
League Two team of the week, but at the end of the 2006–07 season, Barnet
announced that his contract would not be renewed.
Shortly after his departure from Barnet, Hessenthaler was appointed manager
of Dover Athletic of the Isthmian League First Division South. In his first season
in charge, he played regularly, making over 30 appearances as he led the team
to the championship of the division and promotion to the Isthmian League
Premier Division. The following season, he led the team to a second consecutive
championship as Dover won the Isthmian League Premier Division title to gain
promotion to Conference South. In the 2009–10 season, Dover reached the
play-offs for promotion to the Conference National, but lost at the semi-final
stage to Woking. Hessenthaler, at the age of 44, announced his retirement as a
player after the match.
On 20 May 2010, Hessenthaler resigned as Dover manager, and the following
day, he became the manager of Gillingham, who had just been relegated to
Football League Two, for the second time. His contract was terminated at the
end of the 2011–12 season after the Gills narrowly missed out on the play-offs
for promotion to League One, although he was offered a seat on the board of
directors and a “football development role”. He left the position of director
of football at Gillingham in 2013 with a view to returning to management.
In July 2014 he returned to Gillingham as assistant manager under manager
Peter Taylor, and was appointed joint caretaker manager, along with Darren
Hare, Steve Lovell and Mark Patterson, following the sacking of Taylor on 31
December 2014. At the end of the 2014–15 season, Hessenthaler left the club
to become assistant manager at Leyton Orient. In April 2016, he was promoted
to the position of manager when player-manager Kevin Nolan was stripped of
his managerial responsibilities, however Hessenthaler was sacked in September
of the same year. In April 2017 Hessenthaler was appointed as assistant
manager of National League club Eastleigh, and in November of the same year
stepped up to the role of manager. In October 2018 he returned to Dover as
manager following the sacking of Chris Kinnear.

Sutton was our first away day and first Tuesday night game of the season and, in all honesty, it wasn’t the
one I was looking forward to the most. Nevertheless, me and my Dad set off from Leeds around midday to
start our long journey to South London. We took the M1, stopping for lunch along the way, before
continuing through London arriving in Sutton around 6:30pm. We managed to find parking about 5
minutes away from the ground and set off walking. Sutton’s ground is a bit of an odd one as you literally
walk to the away end through a park. Inside the away terrace is rather small so it was already looking quite
busy. We got ourselves some food for tea and took a place in the back of the terrace behind the goal to
watch the warm ups. As the teams went inside, the away end continued to fill up and by 7:45pm the
place was packed to applaud the teams out.
The game did get off to a fairly slow start with little happening in the first quarter of an hour. However,
once we settled into the game we saw some nice football and nearly took the lead on 28 minutes through
Jack Taylor but he wasn’t able to find enough space to score. On 32 minutes Tutonda was fouled in the
box and, despite our protests, the ref waved it away. He did however, award us a penalty 5 minutes later
when Tutonda was clearly taken out by their goalie. Simeon Akinola stepped up on his birthday and sent
the goalie the wrong way, taking us into half time with a 1 goal advantage. Our goal clearly gave us
momentum as just 4 minutes into the second half Dan Sparkes hit the post and on 55 minutes Akinola’s
shot went just over the bar. But on 58 minutes, it was Sutton who scored with Beautyman hitting the top
corner. We switched off slightly and came close to conceding again when Collins’ shot went just over the
bar. However, towards the end of the game we came back into it with Jack Taylor coming so close to
scoring. We had a couple more attempts going forward and Loach pulled off two excellent saves to keep us
out of the trouble but the game finished 1-1.
We walked back to the car and drove into London where we stayed overnight before making our way back
to Leeds (via a day out in Southend) the following day. Although the draw was frustrating it was probably a
fair result in the end, with standout performances from James Dunne and David Tutonda. The 319 Bees
fans were in good voice until the end too and all in all it was much nicer than last season’s trip!

After participating in a publicity stunt alongside new

Rochdale, Championship side Huddersfield Town have
been charged by the FA for breaching their rules on
kit sponsorship. During the friendly game last month,
the Terriers wore a one off ‘spoof’ shirt that included a
giant Paddy Power logo in a sash form diagonally across
the whole shirt. This was part of the betting company’s
new promotional campaign about ‘unsponsoring’ shirts,
which involves having plain shirts with no sponsor on at
all, going back to a more traditional kit. The stunt was
seen as an ‘opening’ to the campaign, with the actual
shirts being blank, with Newport County, Motherwell,
Macclesfield Town and Southend United also being
part of the campaign. The FA rules state that all shirts
must have only “one single area not exceeding 250
square centimetres on the front of the shirt” for
advertising. Despite it being a friendly and being a one
off shirt, the club have still been charged and fined, and
have until this Friday to respond.
