As I'm sure you know, this was the first time that a Dover side had reached the F.A.Cup First Round Proper. We were drawn against Peterborough United, who were sweeping all before them in their first Football League season; they eventually won the Fourth Division championship with ease. The cover for this programme was specially designed by local photographer Ray Warner, and it was used for various programmes in the 1960s.

Dover's floodlights were officially opened at this match against Chelsea's full first team. A crowd of 4,312 watched the game and the Blues won 4-0.

A crowd of 13,119 squeezed into Priestfield Stadium to see Kent Leaguers Dover take on their supposed betters in Southern Leaguers Dartford. Player-manager Fred Durrant decided to play himself at centre-forward to try and combat the huge Dartford defenders. Fred scored both goals in a 2-0 win to bring the cup back to Crabble for the first time. This remains the largest crowd to have watched a Dover match - ever - as far as I know. The 'programme' was a piece of paper; on the reverse were the teams.
