From the December 10th
ARCHIVES On this day 1994
On December 10th 1994, Ilkeston Town travelled to Racing Club Warwick for a Southern League Midland Division fixture in the middle of an exciting run in the FA Trophy. The Robins had lost their previous league game 5-2 away at title favourites Newport County and fielded the following team:-
Miles, Maddison, Morris, Robinson, Igoe, Humphreys, Harbottle D, Harbottle M, Taylor and Pennant Sub Baily.
Maddison and Pennant were both making their Ilkeston debuts.
Ilkeston took an early lead through John Humphreys but Racing fought back and were 3-1 up by half time. Dave Taylor pulled one back for Ilkeston at the start of the second half but Racing restored their two-goal lead only for Taylor to get a third for the Robins. However, it was all too late and Racing ran out deserved 4-3 winners.
Ilkeston slipped to seventh place with in the table and Racing Club Warwick moved up to twelth. The Robins, however, did have games in hand due to their FA Trophy run. The cup run was ended by eventual winners and future Football League side Kidderminster Harriers. In the league, however, Ilkeston regrouped and dramatically won promotion in the penultimate game with a famous 7-1 win over today’s visitors Tamworth. They were our closest rivals and had been favourites to win promotion after beating Ilkeston convincingly 4-0 at the Lamb Ground two weeks earlier. In the promotion decider they did actually take the lead before Mark Harbottle took matters into his own hands to score four in an unforgettable night. Mark later signed for Tamworth at the start of the next season.
Dave Taylor finished the season with 40 goals to his name. Mark Harbottle scored 26 and brother Dave Harbottle scored 23. Jason Campbell incredibly made 59 appearances in all competitions during the season.
Newport County won the league and like Rushden & Diamonds, Forest Green Rovers,
Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town and Burton Albion eventually reached the Football League.
Racing Club Warwick started to struggle in the following seasons and eventually found themselves slipping down the leagues. Ilkeston Town, however, faced them again in the Midland Football League in 2018-19.
There were four other teams apart from Ilkeston who appeared in the Southern League Midland Division in 1994 who this season appear in the Southern League Central Division. Tamworth who finished fourth, Nuneaton Borough who finished seventh, Redditch United and Stourbridge who languished third from bottom.
Elsewhere Stan Collymore was the talk of the town at Nottingham Forest after Manchester United Manager Alex Ferguson had made no secret of his wish to sign the prolific striker. Collymore would eventually sign for Liverpool. Forest beat bottom club Ipswich Town 4-1 on this day with goals from Collymore, Gemmill and Haaland (Erling’s dad) and included future Robins Steve Chettle and Jason Lee in their line up. Malcom Rigby was an unused substitute.
Blackburn Rovers were top of the Premier League, Manchester United were second and Forest were fourth.
Other ex-Robins in action were Nigel Jemson who came on as a substitute for Notts County as they lost to second-placed Wolves in the Football League First Division. Notts were bottom and included another exRobin in Paul Reece on the bench.
Today’s opponents Tamworth beat Moor Green 3-1.
