Wybourne / Wimborne.
And I suspect our result there is branded onto the consciousness of most of us.
Chas? Don’t.

And the character - http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/fastshow/ch ... duke.shtml

Although I prefer Chris’s guess of Claude Raines, who I always thought had the look of a rakish Steve Vowles.

Evo-Stik League Southern Division One South and West – Saturday, 24th September 2011
Wimborne Town 5 Halesowen Town 4
Halesowen squandered a seemingly unassailable four-goal lead after lowly Wimborne staged an incredible fightback to score five late second half goals in the first meeting between the fellow Vase winners.
The Yeltz had dominated the majority of the game and romped into a 4-0 lead within an hour to put the Magpies on course for their fifth consecutive league defeat. Four individual players grabbed a brace each in the nine-goal contest with Halesowen’s Michael McGrath netting both his goals from free-kicks.
To bolster their fortunes Wimborne welcomed back legendary 44 year old fireman Steve ‘Taffy’ Richardson – a member of their 1992 FA Vase winning team – and his enthusiasm certainly extinguished Halesowen’s early fire. The hosts had not scored in over 7 hours of trying in their long league losing streak but made amends to take all three points in a crazy capitulation in the final 25 minutes.

Aah, now I see. I'm actually pretty good at cryptic crosswords and the like, but throw in anything off the telly and I'm buggered. Personally I think that Wimbourne stat is a great one to have, not many teams could boast such a cataclysmic collapse against a team that couldn't score goals!
