Scarborough FC, the team who celebrated League survival by the North Sea by popping champagne corks only minutes before Jimmy Glass, Carlisle’s goalkeeper, scored the last minute winner near the Irish Sea that ended Scarborough’s 12-year tenure in the Football League, are no more.
Scarborough welcomed Southend United to life at the bottom of the League when, in 1998, they lost 2-1 to the Blues in front of their new chairman, a Mr Anton Johnson, who had been banned from involvement with football in the temporary way that only the FA can manage a life ban.
Scarborough were one of the oldest football clubs in England but were wound up having failed to raise the necessary cash to pay debts of over £800 000 to the Inland Revenue.
Scarborough FC 1879-2007. RIP
