The Exeter City FC Supporters’ Trust was delighted to receive a collection of scrapbooks, going back to the 1950s, about Exeter City.
The donation came from long time supporter Martin Copleston, who handed over three large bundles of scrapbooks to ensure they were saved for future generations to look at.
Martin started keeping scrapbooks in 1957/8 and still rates our 1958/9 team, which just missed out on promotion, as the best Exeter side he has seen.
The Trust is currently developing its history work with plans for a new Exeter City History Group in the pipeline....

Christmas came early for the children and teenagers on Bramble Ward at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital when they received a special visit from the stars of Exeter City Football Club.
With the help of Build-a-Bear, the players from the club gave out dozens of bears, signed merchandise and other presents to the young patients to help bring some Christmas cheer to the ward. The players who visited were Scot Bennett, Pat Baldwin, Matt Oakley, Matt Grimes, David Noble, Ryan Harley, Clinton Morrison and Christy Pym.
The players, who were all dressed in Santa suits, chatted...
Exeter City attacking duo Matt Jay and Ollie Watkins have joined Weston-super-Mare on a one-month loan deal. The pair both turned professional in the summer after winning the Youth Alliance South West title with the Grecians’ under-18 team, and made their first-team debuts while still Academy players last season. Jay and Watkins could feature in as many as eight games for the Somerset side before their loan is due to end after they face Sutton United on Sunday 4th January.
Exeter City and Burton Albion played out a 1-1 draw at St James Park, with both goals coming after the break.
Jacob Blyth was Burton’s goalscorer on the hour-mark – and it looked like it was going to be enough until Christian Ribeiro headed in City’s equaliser with less than five minutes on the clock.
The result kept up Exeter’s record of being the only Football League team to have scored and conceded in all of their home games in the league to date this season.
And while it didn’t earn Exeter a place amongst the play-off places, it represented a decent point...
Exeter City pulled off a memorable comeback as they overturned Shrewsbury Town’s 2-0 first-half lead – Tom Nichols’ dramatic winner came in second-half injury time to secure a 3-2 victory.
The Shrews looked good for their second place in Sky Bet League 2 in the first half, with striker James Collins getting his ninth and tenth goals of the campaign.
The second half was a totally different story though – City pulled one back within seconds of the restart, with Nichols fed by Matt Grimes before putting the ball behind Town keeper Jayson Leutwiler. Substitute David Wheeler...
Exeter City arrive back at St James Park in a rich vein of form, with a draw and two wins – and seven points – from the past three games.
But few teams are quite as in-form as Bury. Undefeated since the opening weekend in League 2, the Shakers took all three points in their three most recent fixtures – leapfrogging their rivals Burton Albion last weekend with a win against the Brewers and going top of the pile.
Former Grecian Daniel Nardiello was twice a goalscorer in that game at Gigg Lane after coming off the bench – indeed Bury’s potent attack has been a telling factor...
Saturday’s trip to Prenton Park pits master versus apprentice, as Rob Edwards and Paul Tisdale stand in opposing dugouts for the first time.
Edwards, formerly Tis’s number 2 at St James Park, left for Tranmere in the summer and has since appointed former players Alex Russell and Matt Gill as first-team coach and assistant manager respectively.
Eliot Richards, who was loaned to Exeter from Bristol Rovers last season, was signed by Tranmere during the off-season too.
For Exeter, it is a chance to record back-to-back wins in League 2 for the first time this year...
