Whitley Bay
FOOTBALL CLUB
H
aving
first
been
established
in
1897,
Whitley Bay FC is a club
that has put together a
history of which they have every right
to be proud. They have a close affinity
with the FA Vase having won the
prestigious competition an incredible
four times, including a hat-trick of
triumphs between 2009 and 2011, an
achievement that will be difficult to
match.
One of the key components in
their triumphs was striker Paul Chow.
Having recently announced his return
to Jarrow Roofing, now seemed like the
perfect time to take a look back at all
that he achieved for the club.
In the eight seasons that Chow played,
his record speaks for itself with an
incredible 270 goals netted in his
404 appearances. There were plenty
more achievements for Chow as he
demonstrated the remarkable ability to
write his own script when he netted in
three consecutive cup finals at Wembley,
also becoming the first player to score in
every round of the vase. Additionally,
his 21 second opener against Wroxham
is the fastest goal scored to date at the
new Wemble y Stadium.
Speaking to the club’s official
website, Whitley Chairman Paul
McIlduff was quick to pay tribute to
the fantastic contribution made by
Chow, saying, “Paul has been a fantastic
servant to the club during his eight years
with us and we wish him nothing but
the best in his new venture with Jarrow.
He has been a very big part in some
of the greatest moments in the history
of Whitley Bay Football Club and, on
behalf of myself and the other directors,
would like to publically thank him for
everything he has done to help raise the
profile of Whitley Bay.”
Competing
in
the
hugely
competitive Northern League Division 1
this time around their first team has put
together a solid campaign up to now.
After 36 matches of the season they
have put together a record of 16 wins,
3 draws and 17 defeats from their first
36 matches which sees them sitting in a
mid-table position with 51 points on the
board.
