My copy of the Non- League Club Directory has arrived, which will give me hours of looking at clubs I’ve visited and, more importantly, ones to visit in the future.
This was to be the last one edited by father and son combination Mike and Tony Williams, hence the picture of the first one on the cover. At number 47, this has been a tremendous achievement and help for the Non-League game.
I have a copy of all 47, some originally collected by my father. The good news, though, is that James Wright, who has stepped down after 24 years of collating the results and tables section of the Non-League Paper has agreed to take on the responsibility to edit the Directory. This he did before and with Mike William’s acting as publisher, they can make it to 50.
Beyond 50, who knows, a digital version may beckon, or a much needed comprehensive real-time results and tables site.
Good luck.
