    You're older than me @ShootersHillGuru : - )

    Don't have the result but I imagine of McWhirr as a busy, short, Scottish right winger so I'll go with him as MOTM

    Thirteen consecutive penalty kicks saved by Ted Barnes! I bet Duchatalet is trying to factor in a retrospective slice of H.S. Millers 'substantial transfer fee' to Chelsea as we speak

    Yeah but only got 6 on the player marks as his distribution was poor.

    We now have a match report

    FRIENDLY MATCH
    ST ALBANS CITY (1) 2 CHARLTON ATHLETIC RESERVES (2) 3
    THURSDAY 2oth SEPTEMBER 1928
    ..CITIZENS SCORE FIRST AND LAST"
    St Atbans scored first. When a shot by Minter cannoned off a defender, WALTER
    beat Johnson, the former Aston Vitta goalkeeper, in a race for the ball and coolly
    drove it past him into the net.

    A dropping cross-shot from Bethell led to the equaliser. Dinsdale could not reach the ball which fell over his head and McWHIRR, the old Portsmouth right-winger, made certain of the point.

    Lennox got between the St Albans' backs and fired in a hard drive. Dinsdale got to the shot smartly but could not hold it and Martin, in an endeavour to clear, sent the ball
    across the field to McWhirr who centred squarely for LENNOX to head through.

    After Dinsdale's unfortunate mishap and subsequent retirement, Bethell ran
    through to make a simpte opening for LENNOX to tap the ball into the corner of
    the net from close quarters.

    ln the closing stages WALTER, from long range, tried a hard, low shot. The ball travelled through a crowd of ptayers and, taking Johnson, who was unsighted, by surprise, went through his legs into the net.
    There were few thrills. Charlton combined very neatly at times but were erratic
    in their finishing. Robinson was again the outstanding player for St Atbans, whose
    forwards were seldom well together.

    The teams were :-
    St Albans City - J.Dinsdale; A.Martin and F.Holland; H.Figg, R.Robinson and
    G. Hurcomb; P.Winter, H.Watter, W. H.Minter, E.McGregor and W. Buckingham.
    Goalscorer - Walter(2).
    Charlton Athletic Reserves - Johnson; Bruce and Nichott; Beach, Mittson and
    Patterson; McWhirr, Nichot, Lennox, Jeffries and Bethett.
    Goalscorers - McWhirr and Lennox(2).
    Referee :- Mr.C.E.Argent(St Atbans).

    Henry Victor Mordey(1911-1986) married distant Crocker cousin Annie Grubb, in 1937. This was an important time for Henry, for as well as getting married, the 1936-37 season saw his first appearance for Charlton Athletic Football Club. And this was Charlton Athletic's debut season in the English First Division - the equivalent of today's Premier. Henry was born in Kuala Lumpur and came to England in 1923. In 1928 he joined the Rifle Brigade, and it was there that his talent as a boxer and footballer was recognised. By 1933 he was playing as full back for the Army. When he returned to England in 1936 after several years service in Malta, he was signed up by Charlton Athletic, having been spotted in the Army team. Henry remained a serving soldier throughout his time with Charlton, playing as a defender for three seasons at The Valley with Army permission. In each of those seasons the team finished in the top four in the league. These were the last seasons before the war. Henry's playing was cut short in 1939 when he was mobilised. He managed to play occasionally throughout the war in the "War League", playing for local teams wherever he was stationed. In this way, whilst stationed at Ripon he played for York City South. When he was stationed at Exeter in 1944 he was allowed to play for Southampton. On occasions he played for Yeovil and Petters United. He served in North Africa, in Europe, received a shrapnel wound in the leg, and took part in the ill-fated Operation Market Garden. After the war his Charlton Athletic days were not quite over. He was recalled by the club and appeared on occasions as a "guest player". In this capacity he played in the 1945/46 FA Cup Final, when Charlton Athletic were beaten 4-1 by Derby County. He was never listed as a player in the Final, but his Loser's Medal is still in the family. In 1945-46 he was signed up by Alec Stock, a former CAFC colleague, to play for the newly reformed Yeovil Town for the 45/46 season.
