Weymouth 0-9 Rushden & Diamonds (read by Tim Gudgeon, BBC1)

Saturday February 21, 2009:
Blue Square Premier League:
Tim Gudgeon reads the football scores on BBC1's "Final Score" programme and announces......
"Weymouth nil, Rushden and Diamonds NINE"
You gotta admit, it's not something you see or hear every day in professional football. Spare a thought for poor Weymouth, who were forced to field a team of teenagers due to the piss-poor management of the club.

Such a shame we went bust :'(

@RIPRDFC I agree. I remember R&D when they went on their FA Cup runs and sailed up through the leagues and into League One. They were one of the teams I frequently looked out for as their recent record became noticed by their success. Shame they are not around now.

There were more goals in that Rushden & Diamonds game than there were pixels in this video! 

[LordHeath1972]

@HammerLex77 I agree, the video quality is pretty awful, but I recorded it more for the audio than the video. The irony now of course is that Weymouth are still around and R&D are now gone.

@mike67098 Now that is what I call a detailed answer!

@LordHeath1972 Well R&D went out of business in the close season. Giving Southport a reprieve from relegation (If my team Altrincham had finished one place higher then we would've got it! :/). Then after all that Kettering Town took Nene Park for their own the grave robbing scumbags. Now a new club has been formed under the name of AFC Rushden and Diamonds, they currently only have a youth team playing this season, but a senior team will start to be fielded by next season! :D

@mike67098 "AFC" R&D? What happened? What a shame that such a good team have ended up like this. I remember their surge from the Conference into League Two and then promoted to League One before falling again. Such a shame.

@alexsmith3210 Hopefully AFC Rushden and Diamonds will be just as great...

@LordHeath1972 They were a good Club, spent a lot of time watching them at Nene Park in the Brian Talbot era. Such a shame as you say, always kept an eye out for them on Final Score/in the Sunday Papers
