I have the poster of Gary scoring that champion winning goal from 1989/90 euphoria all around Darlington that day I remember.

It was a fantastic time for me as an 18 year old discovering the joys of cars/beer/women along with a winning Darlo team, many of the 1st three have come and gone but the latter is still going stronger than ever.

Awesome day out......the one pub open was fantastic! Watching the video it shows me coming on at the end to bother Mr Geddes out of his shirt......brilliant day out. Twenty five years later we all still go!

Remember getting sunburned that day. Not much chance of that today.
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883
