1964-65 50th Anniversary Reunion - 7th February 2015

By -



 A proud announcement from SCAN Guardians......
On behalf of the SCAN guardians, I am delighted to be able to announce that we will be holding a 50th anniversary reunion of the 1964-65 County team.

This will take place on Sat 7th February 2015 (the closest date to the 3rd Feb 1965 when we played Liverpool at EP).

Following many months work and research I can confirm that we have been able to find all of the surviving players and the families of those who have passed away. On what will be a fantastic day of celebration and commemoration we will welcome back the team for the first time in 50 years.

Those confirmed include Mulhearn, Eckersall, Sandiford, Hodgkinson, Harold, Phoenix, Beighton, Parry, Peacock and Watt. We will have representatives of the families of Trevor Porteous,Frank Beaumont, groundsman Harold Allcock and most poignantly John Nibloe. Sadly despite our best efforts we have not been able to find family of the late Len White but we shall continue to try up to the date of the event.

This will be a great County occasion and will culminate in a celebration evening in the Bungalow Club that will start promptly after the game at 5.45pm.

We will be presenting SCAN Certificates as well as telling the story of the amazing 1964-65 season. We will be asking fans to add their memories of a special season and we are finalising a special souvenir brochure for the evening.

The event is free and we hope to pack the Bungalow Club to welcome back a great County team, most of whom have not been back in 50 years. We need everyone's support and we would be very grateful if people could publicise this and let their friends know. Like all of the reunion events we have done in the past, this will be an evening that will represent everything that is great about being a Hatter. 

SCAN.

Simply Disgraceful !

Simply Disgraceful ! This day will rank in infamy    with some of the darkest in our Club`s history- the owners of Stockport County have sacked Jim Gannon…..a dreadful decision......... totally bereft of merit, and one heralded by a shamefully inadequate announcement, as insulting to County fans as it is to Jim. Champions under Jim in our last completed season, fourth in the league after as impressive a win as any Club Chair could wish to witness from his team on Tuesday, despite the interrupted nature of the current season, and clearly playing well, so this smacks of something other than prudence or good decision making and as for being rational and fair………….. Sadly the Club`s owners rather added to the anger their foolish decision has already triggered, by stating that the decision was not results based, but based on `culture`.   Jim is a proven quality Manager , who knows what it takes to make County tick, has done so many times in the past, and   has forgotten more about Co

Wrexham 1 Stockport County 2 ( Vanarama National League) 31 August 2019

“Where`s the goals gonna come from”-is a familiar refrain from those wanting County to ship in a new striker every other week, and County once again fully answered that one with “ from almost everywhere” as goals from defenders Sam Minihan and Ash Palmer secured all the points at the Racecourse Ground today against Wrexham. A 2-0 County lead at half time seemed to signal a rout, but Wrexham fought well upon the re-start and made a real match of it , albeit that an imperious display by County`s superb back line limited them largely to shots from distance. The defensive display from JG`s boys, in the second 45 minutes, if somewhat hard on the nerves, was again excellent , but a late goal to the Welshmen made the last few minutes tenser than perhaps they should have been. It all ended well however, as ,   with Festus Arthur on in place of Bell ,for his longest stretch of on the park minutes so far, and Mulhern on for Turnbull, marshalled by Keano and Palmer, the

Stockport County 4 Accrington Stanley 2 ( Football League 2) Saturday 20 April 2024

          A friend captured the situation nicely as we both descended the steps at the Cheadle End “ there are not many days like that” he said ,and he hit the spot perfectly, we had both just come away from a County game that finished as a party as County disposed of the challenge from Accrington Stanley with a comfortable 4-2 win, and the old place dissolved in a glorious mix of excitement, and emotion as the blues were presented with the League 2 Championship trophy! I say that it was comfortable, but I thought Accrington made a good fist of competing at times, in the end beaten by another clutch of top-class goals- 2 from Wootton , who I thought edged M.O.M ,and one each from   Evans and Sarcevic which did the biz for Dave Challinor`s boys. Their 8 th win in succession took County`s points tally with one match remaining to a mammoth 92 points- still 7 clear of the rest and set up a spectacularly good party on the pitch after the final whistle -more on this later in the repor
