The 2002–03 season was the 107th year in non-League football and sixth season since their return to the Football Conference played by Yeovil Town Football Club, an English football club based in Yeovil, Somerset.

Yeovil began the season playing their home matches at The Avenue Stadium, home of Dorchester Town, while the Huish Park pitch was being relaid. Yeovil occupied top spot in the Conference from late September until the end of the season, eventually winning the title by a records points margin and earning promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club's 108-year history.

The team reached the first round of the FA Cup but lost 2–0 at home to Second Division side Cheltenham Town. The team failed to defend their FA Trophy title being knocked out in the quarter-final after being beaten 2–0 by Northern Premier League side Burscough. Kirk Jackson was the club's top goalscorer after joining in November scored 20 goals, with 19 in the league and one in the FA Trophy.

Background

The 2001–02 season was manager Gary Johnson's first season in charge having succeed Colin Addison in June 2001,[1] and the team finished third in the Football Conference.[2] Yeovil finished the season with major silverware after victory in the 2002 FA Trophy Final, staged at Villa Park.[3] Francis Kumbur and first year professional Richard Parkisnon were released by Yeovil after the FA Trophy final while Andy Turner had his contract terminated by mutual consent.[4] Steve Collis, Olivier Brassart, Chris Giles, Andy Lindegaard, Roy O'Brien and Faisal Mali all signed new contracts with the club.

Yeovil made two signings over the close season midfielder Gavin Williams signed from Hereford United for a fee of £22,500,[5] and Mali striker Abdoulaye Demba formerly of Oostende joined on a free transfer.[6] While defender Stephen Reed entered the first team squad from the youth team after agreeing a professional contract.[7]

Review

Pre-season

The squad returned for pre-season training on 1 July.[8] The first day of pre-season saw the arrival of two new signings, Welsh attacking midfielder Gavin Williams and Mali forward Abdoulaye Demba.[5][6] Yeovil started pre-season with a tour of Lavia, and on 5 July played Latvian Higher League champions Skonto with goal from Adam Stansfield and Adam Lockwood earning Yeovil a 2–2 draw.[9] Yeovil's second match of their tour saw them beat FK Auda 1–0 courtesy of goal from Carl Alford, on 7 July.[10] On 11 July, Yeovil concluded their pre-season tour with a 2–1 defeat FK Ventspils.[11] Yeovil returned to England with seven friendly victories against non-league sides, and a 1–0 victories over Second Division side Bristol City and Third Division side Exeter City.[12][13] Yeovil's pre-season preparation featured thirteen matches in all with ten victories, two draws and one defeat with Yeovil scoring 29 goals and conceding 8.[14] Before Yeovil's first match of the season French midfielder Olivier Brassart left the club to join Scarborough,[15] while goalkeeper Steve Collis departed on loan to Tiverton Town.

August

Yeovil played their first five home matches at The Avenue Stadium, Dorchester.

Yeovil began their Conference season playing their home matches at The Avenue Stadium, home of Dorchester Town, due to the relaying of the Huish Park pitch.[16] Yeovil's opening match saw them draw 2–2 against Gravesend & Northfleet, coming from two goals behind at half time with an injury time equaliser from Terry Skiverton.[17] The game saw striker Adam Stansfield substituted through injury after only 16 minutes that was later confirmed to be a break of the tibia and fibula an injury that ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[18] On 20 August, Yeovil's poor start to the season continued as they suffered a 2–1 defeat away against Barnet.[19] On 22 August, Yeovil confirmed the signing of former striker Howard Forinton after his release from Torquay United,[7] while young striker Chris Giles left on a one-month loan to Weymouth. Yeovil ended the month with three consecutive victories, with a 2–1 win against Morecambe,[20] a 3–2 victory over Nuneaton Borough,[21] and a 1–0 win away at Kettering Town.[22]

September

Yeovil started September by extending their winning run to five consecutive matches, with further victories 2–0 against Farnborough,[23] and 2–1 versus Northwich Victoria.[24] Two away draws followed against Stevenage Borough and Hereford United.[25][26] On 20 September, Yeovil beat Halifax Town 3–0 despite having two men sent off after a mass brawl saw Abdoulaye Demba and Terry Skiverton both dismissed for violent conduct.[27] On 22 September, Stockport County signed defender Anthony Tonkin for £50,000, a transfer that saw manager Gary Johnson hit out at the power of agents alleging that Tonkin's representative advised the player to refuse to play against Halifax.[28] Yeovil marked their return to their newly relaid Huish Park pitch with an emphatic 4–0 victory over Woking.[29] On 28 September, a 4–2 victory away at Leigh RMI saw Yeovil hit the top of the Conference table.[30] The end of the month saw the club bring in French-born Moroccan left sided player Abdou El-Kholti as a replacement for the departed Tonkin.

October

Yeovil started November with consecutive 2–2 draws away at Chester City,[39] and at home against Dagenham & Redbridge.[40] On 16 November, Yeovil were knocked out of the first round of the FA Cup by Second Division side Cheltenham Town, after losing 2–0.[41] Yeovil progressed to the third round of the Somerset Premier Cup, on 19 November, with a 2–1 extra time victory over Mangotsfield United, with both goals from Abdoulaye Demba.[42] A goal from Michael McIndoe was enough to earn a 1–0 victory over Southport.[43] Before Yeovil's final match of November, the club released Howard Forinton after 4 goals in 17 matches. While the club signed former Torquay United defender Jimmy Aggrey on a month's contract, and paid Stevenage Borough £20,000 for the services of striker Kirk Jackson, who had scored twice against Yeovil earlier in the season.[44] Jackson made his debut in Yeovil's 2–1 victory over Margate, on 30 November, as they maintained their three-point lead at the top of the Conference.[45]

April

Yeovil Town celebrating their promotion to The Football League after their match against Burton Albion.

On 5 April, a 3–0 home win against Telford United took Yeovil to within one point of winning the Conference title.[71] Before they could wrap it up they faced Clevedon Town in the semi-finals of the Somerset Premier Cup and a strong Yeovil side was to good for their lower league rivals winning 4–0.[72] Yeovil's promotion was confirmed before kick-off against Doncaster Rovers, on 12 April, after Chester City's 2–2 draw with Woking. The Glovers celebrated their title, and promotion to the Football League for the first time in their 108-year history, with an emphatic 4–0 rout of Doncaster at Belle Vue.[73] Yeovil continued their form with a 6–1 win over Burton Albion, on 19 April, with Kevin Gall scoring four.[74] Yeovil's penultimate match of the season saw them travel to face play-off qualifiers Dagenham & Redbridge, a sixth goal in three matches from Kevin Gall and a Kirk Jackson hat-trick saw Yeovil record an impressive 4–0 away win, and their seventh successive win in the Conference a club record at that level. The match also saw the league debut of youth team player Stephen Reed.[75] Yeovil completed their record breaking season against Chester City in front of 8,111 fans, the highest crowd in the Conference that season, and opened the scoring through Kevin Gall with their 100th goal in the Conference but a late equaliser forced them to settle for a 1–1 draw.[76] After recording a further four wins and a draw from their five league matches in April, Johnson was awarded his third manager of the month award of the season, shared with Jim Harvey of Morecambe.[38] Yeovil then faced Taunton Town, on 29 April 2003, in the final of the Somerset Premier Cup played at the home of Clevedon Town, but failed to add the cup to their Conference title losing 2–1.[77]
