I only listed Torquay United matches. Will add a lsit of "All Star" matches at some point.

Norman's was on 15 May 1995.

There was also a match for R. Hayes on the 22nd November 1955 at 7.p.m. at Plainmoor - A Torquay United XI against a South Devon League XI. Hayes, a ypung amatuer, broke his leg the previous season. The score was 4-0 to Torquay with McGovern scoring 2, Horswell and Calland the others. H-T 2-0. Ernie Pym was No.11 for SDL. He was playing for St.Marychurch Spurs. Ralph Ryder, the legendary Halwell and Moreleigh centre forward was also playing at No.9. £53 18 shillings was raised for R. Hayes. A Hayes was in goal for Torquay but don't think it was the same person as his initial is not listed which denotes amateur.
