Pre-season games

Last time we played their first team (I think)

I was at the game against Bradford City in 1969 and they beat us 3:2 at Millmoor; I think Bobby Ham gave us the run around? More humiliating was that their fans took over the Tivoli end!
Mike you might be able to help me out. In either 1969 or 1970 I'm certain Malcolm MacDonald played against us at Millmoor as a full back. I remember him getting into our box a lot and having quite a few shots and thought he'd be a good player. They were in white shirts and black shorts and must havebeen either Fulham or Luton.

Dates could fit either, but he only played 13 games for Fulham in total . Can't remember him playing at full-back,only as a centre forward, but he may have done early in his career

He was signed by Fulham as a fullback. Moved to Luton in July 1969 and they converted him to centre forward. The only game that I can be thinking of given the dates is the 1:1 draw with Luton at Millmoor 1 November 1969. But I can't find out who scored or where Mac played that day. I have absolutely vivid recollections of him playing wide on the left and roasting our FB and hitting some left foot screamers. He played in white shirt and black shorts and from somewhere I have the idea he was their Left Back that day. It's very frustrating not being able to bottom this small mystery.

I don't have the information that you are looking for. I would have been at the match, but can't remember much about it. Our left-back, Denis Leigh definitely scored. Probably a penalty, as he was our main penalty-taker at the time. He really used to blast them, and rarely missed the target.

Cheers. Entirely understandable that you can't remember much after all this time. I only remember snippets from the odd game and they don't reflect any particular importance. In a 4:1 home win against Stockport I only remember we scored 3 in the first few minutes and they wore a lovely blue, white and orange strip! I also remember a night game back then in some cup where we beat Halifax (or Hartlepool - definitely began with"H") 3:0; memorable because for some reason it was the worst crush I ever experienced on the Tivoli (feet literally off the ground at the end) and I'm sure a Rotherham player scored all 3 and the goals - shots from about 8 yards out - were all virtually identical. Strange indeed.
Goodness me. Just checked the Historic Kits site and there's the Stockport strip 1968-70! Less orange on it than I remembered though! 25 January 1969.

Given the trouncing they dished out to us on their last visit to the NYS, they probably won't be sending their full first team... to save us further embarrassment
