Gillingham FC on This Day by David Elligate

Gillingham FC On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Gills diary - with an entry for every day of the year. From the club's formation as New Brompton to the glorious new millennium, the Priestfield faithful have witnessed promotions and relegations, financial troubles, Cup runs and breathtaking playoff finals - all featured here. Timeless greats such as Guy Butters, Andy Hessenthaler and Brian Yeo, Charlie Marks, Ron Hillyard and Pat Terry all loom larger than life. Revisit 29th June 1995: the arrival of chairman Paul Scally and boss Tony Pulis. 14th January 1961: controversy at Priestfield when a disputed offside resulted in the ref being pelted with orange peel and apple cores! Or 28th May 2000: a return to Wembley and promotion to the Promised Land!

David Elligate writes about the colourful history of Gillingham FC both in the club programme and on supporter websites. Born a goal-kick away from Priestfield in 1946, David has supported the Gills for as long as he can remember - despite being educated at rugby-playing Gillingham Grammar School, and throughout a lifetime's career in accountancy.
