Today is the 95th birthday of Dulwich Hamlet’s
most elderly supporter Bill Kirby who celebrated by making his usual trip to
Champion Hill.
The team he has faithfully supported for eighty three years beat
Witham Town 1-0 through a tremendous strike by Xavier Vidal, keeping the team
third in the table.
Bill, who still lives locally in Herne Hill, first started
watching the Hamlet in the early 1930s during the days of the legendary Edgar Kail.
He must surely be one of the last remaining people who actually saw King Edgar
play (and could he play).
So, our hearty congratulations to Bill on his birthday, and we trust he may
have many more.
