I have been attempting to find the match day squads for every Gillingham league match using a combination of match programmes, match reports, internet research and my own records.
The 1960s have proved very problematical in recording unused substitutes in matches, however, I have almost found all the substitutes for league matches in the 1970s but am missing these matches. I am asking if anybody has their own notes, records or reports from these matches and can fill in the blanks (maybe match programmes where you wrote the team in for example?):
1972/73 - Mon 18 Sept 1972 v Mansfield (a) 0-2
1975/76 - Mon 19 Apr 1976 v Brighton (a) 1-1
1978/79 - Tue 26 Dec 1978 v Southend (h) 1-0
1978/79 - Sat 24 Feb 1979 v Hull (a) 1-0
1978/79 - Sat 19 May 1979 v Chesterfield (a) 2-0
My next task is to complete the 1980s - I am fairly confident though I have recorded all Gills substitutes from 1988 onwards to present day.
