What was the name of that striker in the 80s who scored loads of goals for Kidde and had a girls christian name

Kim Casey

That's the badger, didn't he score something daft like about 60 goals in a season?

Kim first signed for the Harriers in July 1985 from Gloucester City for £2,500.
He previously played for Sutton Coldfield and AP Leamington.

In his first season for the Harriers he scored 73 goals in 69 games, a club record.

He was transferred to Cheltenham Town in August 1990 for £25,000 and then joined Wycombe Wanderers and Solihull Borough before re-joining the Harriers in July 1995.

Kim finished his playing career at Moor Green.

As a Bromsgrove Rovers fan, fuck them, arrogant inbred twats. Hate them far more than I ever did Redditch. Although I did like them for winning at the Sty.

As a football fan however, it's just another reason to hate modern football. I dread to think how many non leagues clubs with 100+ years of long history no longer exist.

Just shows the sheer disgusting greed of the PL.   Best league in the world my arse.  It is vulgar - if it wasnt for the Villa I wouldnt give it the time of day . not even 10 past 2.

ive joined the club lottery & made a donation though.

This just sums up what is completely wrong with football!

Why is it that no-one ever points to what Robbie Williams earns and says "this just sums up what is completely wrong with music"

or to Kiefer Sutherland and says "this just sums up what is completely wrong with movies"

or to Stephen King and "this just sums up what is completely wrong with books"

or to Kate Moss and "this just sums up what is completely wrong with modelling"

or to Maria Sharapova and "this just sums up what is completely wrong with tennis"

or to Michael McIntyre and "this just sums up what is completely wrong with comedy"

There seems to be a particular jealousy about footballers' wages.  They have a scarce product to sell, and there are millions of buyers who seem to be all too willing to pay large amounts of money to see it, just like all the other people I just mentioned, who face almost no criticism for their large wage packets.

Habib Beye deserves what he's paid because he convinced Randy Lerner that it would be a good idea to pay him that.  End of story.

As much as I don't like what you're saying, I fear you're not a million miles away from being right. Unfortunately, that's the market value of average top flight footballers... unfortunately.

It doesn't make it right though.

If I can persuade the other half to let me, i'll head over to Kidder on Saturday.

Marvellous, I love non-league rivalries, they are so much more random than your classic ones!
Anyhow, are you now a Bromsgrove Sporting fan or what?

STATEMENT: Exciting News from Aggborough
Posted on: Tue 08 Feb 2011
The Board of Kidderminster Harriers Football Club is delighted to announce that there have been new developments at the Club.

A band of principled supporters have donated a substantial amount of money which has given the Club a reprieve from entering into the legal and financial process in the short term.

Furthermore, discussions are taking place with potential new investors. All parties have agreed to a strict confidentiality agreement whilst a short period of due diligence takes place.

In addition, the Board are also extremely thankful to Mr. Barry Norgrove and Mr. Neil Savery, who have today given money to pay the outstanding wage bill for all staff.

The Board would like to thank KHIST and all those who are working tirelessly to raise funds for the Football Club and, once again thank the staff, players and supporters for their support through this difficult time.

Further details will be released as soon as possible here on the official club website.

The online appeal raised over £14,000 as of 8pm tonight. That's money from ordinary football supporters around the world, doing the right thing.

[Villa'Zawg]

That should be enough for a good celebratory piss up now that the club doesn't need the money.

So what exactly happened for Harriers to get into this position? I always thought they were the model of a well run club. At least they seemed it in the 80s/early 90s to those of us who had the misfortune to follow the circus that is Worcester City and who were extremely jealous as a result.

Basically, it seems they spent more than they had coming in. No fraud, no mbig mad plans, they just got skint.

At the risk of getting pelted down here, while I feel sorry for the fans, and it is horrible to see such an old sporting institution up against it, spending money you don't have, and can't find, is a bit iffy isnt it? It tends to lead to businesses going to the wall.

Are those who did the reckless spending benefitting from the collections / goodwill we're seeing now?

They got promoted to the Football League, they couldn't afford it, got relegated, still thought they could afford to pay players on League wages, they couldn't, crowds dwindled.
Not this boards fault though.

No, they have gone, this is a genuine hard luck story.
