Many thanks to everyone who purchased issue 29 of our #FerribyFanzine. Hope you've enjoyed it. Cracking attendance for our derby in the Ferriby sun. The lads played really well, esp in the 1st half, putting the result beyond doubt. Ben's save was a stunner.. Cheers!

Santa's been down at Ferriby this evening, with a controversial line-up for our Boxing Day fixture.

2-2 away at Hallam. Fair result in a scrappy game on a very heavy pitch. Dennison's goal was a peach. A game where you had to get the ball in the box and see what happens.....and the result was 3 goals. Good to see the replica Youdan again, made at the same time as the original.

General Franco's appointed successor, Luis Carrero Blanco, was assassinated by an ETA bomb. The dictatorship limped on for two more years.

What role did football play in standing up to Franco? Find out in my book, The Defiant: A History of Football Against Fascism 👇🏼

A frustrating 2-2 draw. Dominated the game and had the chances to win it ftom 2 nil up. Let Silsden back in and they were clinical. As always, enjoyed selling raffle tix, this time with the support of my youngest.

And in football history.
This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.
