this man clearly has never seen them play

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2008/nov/28/histon-leeds-fa-cup

personally i love this bit: "There are those who suggest that Histon owe their lofty position to a muscular, route-one game (the club's coach, John Beck, once almost got Cambridge United into the Premier League playing a similar way). But Fallon rejects such assertions, and says his team can mix skilful play with a more direct approach"

This is good

and of course he hasnt seen them play

[Saughall Robin]

That must be one of the few footabll-related articles that I couldn't be bothered to read all of.

Personally, I don't really care who goes up as champions ...



































as long as we win the play-offs

Evidently...as the picture caption states they beat Shrewsbury in round one. (Which of course was actually Blyth Spartans. Histon beat Swindon)

Perhaps he's on loan from the BBC or the non league paper?

[Dougals Dad]

Radio 5Live have been eulogising about them too!

Little do they know

[Ballers]

Histon will win.

They are available at 4/1

or 8/1 for the correct score that will be 1-0.

Message ends.

Judging on that The Guardian hasn't got someone following Non - league football and are just going off a one in a million 5 - 2 win against some small league team

The following evidence would indicate that that picture was not taken after Histon's victory over Swindon Town:-

1) Neither player still plays for Histon
2) It's an old sponsor's name on the shirts
3) It was dark when the Swindon game finished

I'll hazard an educated guess that the picture was taken after Histon became Blue Square South Champions.

I'll take a more educated guess that as these players played for Histon about 3 seasons ago, the photo was indeed taken after Histon's win over Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup 1st Round.....but it would've have been the first round in November 2004?

By jove you're right!

They were the two goalscorers in a 2-0 win.

Did you go to Oxford or Cambridge Ballers

I went to Cambridge Metropolitan University*
