Tony Burman - Manager

In 1993 former player Tony (a true Dartford footballing legend having played over 300 games for the club) was appointed Manager of Dartford FC.

1981/82 50 apps 11 goals (although the 1981-1982 handbook (page 34) says 23 goals)
1982/83 55 apps 21 goals
1983/84 55 apps 25 goals
1984/85 51 apps 17 goals
1985/86 50 apps 18 goals
1986/87 62 apps 23 goals

Above stats taken from this post on the forum

In December 1996, Tony was forced to resign due to business commitments.
Tony returned to the club as caretaker manager to be assisted by former captain and player Paul Sawyer in November 2001. With Dartford languishing in the relegation zone, Tommy Sampson, who had played over 200 games for Dartford during the five year period 1975-80, was appointed as the new manager the following month.
In January 2004-2005 season, the club were languishing close to the relegation zone of Division One East, following a number of poor results. After the defeat at Aveley on 22 January, Manager Tommy Sampson left
the club. Tony took over on a caretaker basis. Fortunes immediately changed.
The next five games reaped four wins and a draw to ease the threat of relegation, during
which time the Darts kept three clean sheets and won the February 2005 "Safe Hands Award".
He has been manager ever since.

John Macrae - Goalkeeping Coach




The John Macrae Interview courtesy of http://custardsdfcarticles.normblogs.com/

Not often does my pulse race, but when told by my Editor that John Macrae, Dartford's legendary goalkeeping coach had finally consented to an exclusive interview, I was staggered. Within hours I was on the first plane out of Havana to meet this goalkeeping guru hoping to get an insight into what makes him tick.

Macrae is an enigma. He is the man behind the man behind the back four. He is rugged, handsome, adored by women and revered by men. The man is a colossus and yet modest at the same time, very rarely mentioning his role within the club or that he was once crowned as the 1987 World Indoor Shirt Champion in Copenhagen.

The interview took place in John's beautiful penthouse suite overlooking leafy Lewisham.

Q) How did you get into Goalkeeping and who was you biggest influence?

JM) At the age of nine I was picked for my school team and gave away five penalties in six games, so I was put in goal. After that forever! My biggest influences were my Mum and Dad. Dad was a non-league keeper but unfortunately died when I was very young. Player wise Lev Yashin and Jack Kelsey (Arsenal and Wales).

Q) How has the art goalkeeping changed during your career?

JM) It has changed in so many ways. For instance when I started we had the four step and bounce around the area rule, now it's just the six seconds in possession. The back pass rule (I hate it). The balls are different, the gloves you must wear now to save shots are different, it's all changed.

Q) How do you rate the set up at Princes Park?

JM) Can any non-league club beat it?

Q) We recently saw Tony Kessell depart Princes Park. How difficult is that to deal with as a coach, and how do you try to motivate a player when their confidence starts to slip?

JM) At the end of the day I am the clubs goalkeeping coach so really it's the maxim "The King is dead, long live the King" But I am still in touch with Tony and Kevin Hudson because a bond does develop. As to motivating players? Well, being a mature person with 50 years of life and goalkeeping experience is something I can really draw on because the mistakes and errors they make I've made myself during my own career. So I do know how they feel and I can help them (I hope) to come out of it and feel good again about their performances.

Q) You recently attended a training camp in Italy. What was it like?

JM) Fantastic! Great weather, facilities and company. I felt like a pro for a fortnight.

Q) Is it true that you are a devotee of the music of Chas 'n' Dave?

JM) No! Ian Dury and the Blockheads

Q) You managed to drop the Ryman League North Trophy last season. As a goalkeeping coach do you think this gives out the wrong message?

JM) Did anyone notice?*

* At this point in the interview things go a bit awry. I present Macrae with photographic evidence of him dropping the trophy last season and his security detail goes ballistic. For a while it looks like the interview is all but over. But Macrae, ever the gentlemen calms things down and allows it to continue. However, Hector, MacRae’s personal head of security is not happy and glares at me during the rest of the afternoon with a malevolence that leaves one feeling rather uneasy.

Q) This isn't an isolated event though is it? you've done it as a player as well!

JM) Correct (deep sigh). 1979 Spartan League Champions with Catford Utd, but it was 10pm in a bar in Lewisham. Caused £50 worth of damage though.

Q) Tell us about Keeper Wars, how it started, its aims and how you see it developing?

JM) Next year (2009) will be the 3rd UK Keeper Wars at Dartford and we have Peter Bonetti coming. The Kent FA have said that they would like to come on board and run a women's and children's competition on the Saturday with the men's event held on the Sunday. But will it rain????

Q) Have you started to groom your successor yet?

JM) Yes is the answer. And these are the three who would follow me. Craig Clarke who helps me with Keeper Wars and has just become Chatham's goalkeeping coach. Lee Heywood who coaches at Holmesdale, that's two, and also Tony Kessell who is going to do his 1st keeper badge this summer. Hopefully I can leave a legacy.

Q) Lastly, describe yourself in five words.

JM) Gregarious, Enthusiastic, Loyal, Honest, Hard working... hold on, that's six!

I left Macrae as I had found him, studying the Ikea catalogue, a glass of Chablis in one hand and the phone in the other discussing another possible candidate to join his ever growing college of young hopeful keepers. You can rest assured that Dartford’s goal is in safe hands with this man. What a guy!

Jon Wallis



Signed for Dartford on 18.5.2011. The news broke first on the Dover forum before appearing on the official Dartford website a day later.

Skilful, creative and all-action central midfielder signed for Dover in June 2007. Was released by Football League club Hereford during the 2006/07 season.

Started his career at Gillingham, for whom he played 16 first-team games in 2005/06. Although normally a central midfielder, Wallis made his debut at right back in the LDV Vans Trophy match at home to Crawley. Gillingham won 2-0 that night in a game that went to extra-time and Wallis played exceptionally well in an unfamiliar position. Jon was previously on loan at Dover for two months in late 2006, before a short spell with Dagenham in Conference National.

Jon was a leading light in Dover's successive promotions from Ryman South to Conference South, making 79 appearances and scoring 16 goals in those two seasons. Suffered niggling injuries throughout the 2009/10 season but still made 31 appearances, scoring eight goals.

Jacob Erskine





Signed for Dartford on 21 October 2011 from Hampton & Richmond Borough. He left Hampton on 7 October 2011.

Born in London, Erskine started his career at non-League club Croydon Athletic, before joining his first Football League club, Dagenham & Redbridge. He was sent out on loan to non-league clubs Tooting & Mitcham United, Dorchester Town, Margate and Maidstone United, but was ultimately released by Dagenham at the end of the 2008–09 season, having failed to break into the first team in two years with the club.

He spent the close season with Bromley, for whom he played in a friendly against Gillingham, impressing their manager Mark Stimson sufficiently to earn a one-year contract with the Football League One club. The deal included a clause stipulating that Bromley will benefit financially should Gillingham sell Erskine to another club, as well as "certain other terms which Bromley feel will benefit the club in the long run".

Erskine made his Football League debut as a late substitute in Gillingham's opening game of the 2009–10 season on 8 August against Swindon Town, replacing Mark Bentley in a 5–0 win.

He was loaned back to Bromley for a month in October 2009, making five appearances for them, and scoring in an FA Cup qualifying round match. Erskine then joined another Conference South side in the form of Bishop's Stortford.

Erskine was released by Gillingham at the end of the 2009–10 season. During the 2010–11 season, he signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Concord Rangers.

On 21 January 2011, Erskine signed for Conference National side Forest Green Rovers. He was instantly loaned out to Southern Premier Division outfit Swindon Supermarine to gain match fitness.

Erskine then signed for Ebbsfleet United in February 2011 having not made a single appearance for Forest Green. In August 2011, Erskine was informed by Ebbsfleet manager Liam Daish, that there would be no funds available to offer him a new contract for the 2011–12 season. He was then on trial for Northampton Town playing in a trial match against Milton Keynes Dons, but later signed non-contract terms with Hampton & Richmond Borough. Erskine left Hampton & Richmond in October 2011. Source

Charlie Sheringham - Left for AFC Bournemouth on 20 October 2011

Striker. Signed for Dartford on 17 June 2010 from Bishops Stortford.

"Sheringham originally started out at his father's first club, Millwall, as part of their academy set-up, before moving on to another of his father's former teams, Tottenham Hotspur. Having been released by Spurs, he was given a trial at Bournemouth, and then another at Ipswich Town, in which he impressed and was given a one-year contract.

At Portman Road, he won an FA Youth Cup winners medal as a sub in 2005. Ipswich released him in the summer of 2005. He was transferred to Charlton Athletic on a free transfer but failed to make an impact and was very soon released, after which he went on trial at Crystal Palace, playing several games for Kit Symons's reserve side.

He impressed, and was kept on for the pre-season by manager Peter Taylor, scoring in a first-team pre-season friendly at Stevenage Borough. He also impressed against American champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy, which led to him being given a professional contract, on a month-by-month contractual deal. He then impressed even further, and was given a full contract, lasting two years.

On 18 April 2007, Sheringham flew out to America with teammate Lewwis Spence to join Crystal Palace's feeder club Crystal Palace Baltimore on loan for four months, though he had to fly home early with a hairline fracture of the foot.

Sheringham was released at the end of the January 2008 transfer window without making a single first team appearance. Following his release from Crystal Palace Sheringham headed to Denmark on an eight day trial at Fremad Amager of the Danish 1st Division. The trial was set up by Charlie Sheringham's father Teddy Sheringham who is an old friend of then manager Jakob Friis-Hansen. The move fell through at the last minute.

Sheringham signed for Conference South side, Bishop's Stortford on 15 May 2009, from Welling United at the end of the 2008–09 season. Sheringham had been Welling's top scorer in the 2008–09 season, scoring 26 goals in all competitions.

Sheringham then made the move to Conference National side Histon on 13 February 2010 on loan from Bishop's Stortford until the end of the 2009–10 season."

He entered the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge Championship in 2010 on behalf of GFI (world-wide series of 5.6km road races) and came 3306th in a time of 26:35. The fastest person did it in 16 mins, so either the 3305 people in front of him were slow, or he's not very fast. Source
