A letter from the club dated 26th July 1955 to Ron Higgins requesting that he undertake a month’s trial at the club. Ron went on to play 17 games for the club in the latter half of the 1955/56 season, scoring an impressive nine goals including a brace away to Dartford in the quarter-final of the Southern League Cup
A fixture list from the 1945/46 season, the first after the Second World War. City ended up as double winners, with a shortened Southern League campaign of 18 matches and a 9-4 aggregate victory over Worcester City in the SL Cup final, when a combined attendance of 15,000 saw the two matches.

The club’s official handbook from the 1947/48 season. This season was a disappointing one in the league with a final placing of 9th but was notable for seeing us play local rivals Colchester United five times in front of a combined attendance of around 50,000 (yes, FIFTY THOUSAND) spectators! The handbook includes notes from manager Arthur Rowe – who went on to win Spurs their first ever First Division title just three years later – and look out for a mention of future City legend Don Walker.
