Darlington FC fan Paul Hodgson pays tribute to 100 of the Quakers’ most memorable players from more than half a century of supporting the club. A roller-coaster ride that any lover of football will enjoy and spanning the 1970s to the present day, the book is a ‘must’ for every Darlo fan.
Darlington FC fan Paul Hodgson pays tribute to 100 of the Quakers’ most memorable players from more than half a century of supporting the club.
The story begins in the 1972/73 season when Paul’s mother took him to his first game: Southport at home. Darlo were soundly thrashed 7-0, yet the seven-year-old Paul was hooked. It was at this game that he came into contact with his first-ever Quakers hero, goalkeeper Phil Owers, who was followed by many more, the latest two being Jarrett Rivers and Tommy Taylor from the current team.
Paul hasn’t just chosen the 100 best players – some only played a few games for the club – but each individual made an indelible impression on him. The book profiles players and games from the 1970s, when Darlington had to apply for re-election almost every season, through the 80s, when their fortunes improved, right up to the close of the 2022/23 season.
