Higgins’ Incredible Strike Claims Guildhall Shopping Centre Goal of the Month

Akeel Higgins delivered a beautifully executed chip over the goalkeeper to earn himself a 68% public vote for the Guildhall Shopping Centre’s October Goal of the Month at the Devon Derby. It was the player’s first professional strike, which has quickly embedded the 20-year-old’s Exeter City loan as his early legacy within the hearts of his now rising fans.

ECFC completes successful search for missing shareholders

Exeter City has successfully rehomed around 3,300 shares following a recent drive to find missing shareholders.

Over recent months, volunteers at the club have worked to find people - or relatives of those - who had bought £1 shares in the club, which had been issued a number of times to raise capital.

Most people acquired them because they were fans and wanted to support the club, and as such were primarily of sentimental value. The earliest shares dated back to the 1930s and had been passed down through people’s families.

With five Open wins to his name and 19 professional tournament successes, John Henry Taylor is not only Devon’s greatest ever sportsman, but he is also one of the most successful British golfers of all time. He was placed into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1975.

In 1894, Taylor won his...

When the news broke that Gareth Bale was returning to Tottenham Hotspur, the club where he cemented a name for himself as one of the best wingers in the world, it wasn’t just the fans of the North London club who got excited by the return of the Welsh star, but the whole of English football – and maybe even the passionate Real Madrid fans who were happy to see the back of him after a lacklustre few years.
