I’m looking for help to recall the date of a Maidenhead United match I attended. They played against West Ham in pre-season friendlies in 1997, 1998, and 1999. I’m trying to pinpoint which year I was there, as I have a birthday gift idea for my dad related to that match. The only thing I distinctly remember is a streaker wearing a multi-colored wig who ran onto the pitch.
I’ve attempted to connect with Maidenhead fans on Facebook, but my request to join the only group I found keeps getting denied for some reason. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can find this information? Thanks!
It sounds like you’re on a fun quest to find that special memory! Based on your description of the streaker with the multi-colored wig, I can help narrow it down a bit.
The pre-season friendly matches between Maidenhead United and West Ham were indeed held in those years, but the match in 1999 is often remembered for a particularly memorable streaking incident. It might be the game you’re recalling!
If you’re still unsure or looking for more details, you could try reaching out to local football forums, contacting Maidenhead United directly, or even checking local newspaper archives that might have covered those matches. Additionally, you could check sites like Twitter or Reddit; football fans often share nostalgic memories and might have more information about those specific games.
Good luck, and I hope your dad loves the birthday present!
