Paine header clinched the draw. The draw meant that, in order to secure promotion, the Saints had to avoid losing their final game (the following Monday, 16 May) at Maine Road, by six goals. A 0-0 draw v champions, Man C, secured promo in 2nd place. 1-1 draw on Mon 9 May 1966, in match postponed from rain-ruined Easter Saturday. Paine header clinched the draw.

An aircraft designer of such exceptional ability and vision would surely in this day have been elevated to the peerage.

]]> Comment on Marwell and Owslebury, places with an interesting past. by davidmoldon http://www.agentsmart.co.uk/blog/places/cities-towns-and-villages/marwell-and-owslebury-places-with-an-interesting-past/comment-page-1/#comment-4547 davidmoldon Thu, 08 Sep 2011 12:01:10 +0000 http://www.agentsmart.co.uk/blog/?page_id=2436#comment-4547 In 1959 we moved from Allington Manor Farm, Fair Oak, to Lower Farm on the edge of Owslebury, and the village was at that time not on the “Rat Run” and therefore a quiet little place of some 500 inhabitants. There was a garage and petrol pumps on Whaddon Lane across from the Farm, and my first purchase of petrol for an Austin 7 we used around the farm cost two and six pence a gallon. There were two shops when we first moved to Owslebury, but one soon closed and the one in the centre of the village was not only a lifeline for the elderly residents, but with Graham and Margaret Oakley running it, a wonderful source of gossip. The Ship Inn soon had its appeal, and run by Sally Matthews it was a genuine local pub with seats you dare not occupy for fear of upsetting it’s “owner”. The Pub came into its own when Bob and Carole O’Neill took over in1980 and people came from far and wide to sample the fantastic food and ambiance. When the O’Neill’s left in 1990 it was an unhappy year at the pub before Clive Mansell came to the rescue. I could write many pages concerned with the somewhat outrageous things that happened during Clive’s reign at the Ship, but best keep those as wonderful memories. We will never forget “Dingo” the outside bars, plank racing, barrel racing, cricket matches, bike trips, the cider cup golf matches and many other things Clive dreamed up to keep us locals happy!
