Dale Gibbons heads Ealing's appearances lists

: Created:30 Jul 2014 , by

Dale has represented our club 715 times during the period 1990 to 2014. Alastair Johnstone is second on the list with 581 appearances.

This list comprises of appearances in the Thames Valley, Middlesex, Hillingdon and Hammersmith leagues. Because of the huge increase in league matches contested by Ealing in recent years it is unlikely that any of our great predecessors will have exceeded Dale's total. Indeed the totals of Dale, Alastair (68 additional appearances), John Harvey, Mark Winterbotham all of whom feature in the top eleven, are undervalued because they were all members before 1989.
