meant that, as predicted by Ted Davis
in 1937, The U's would have to release or pay for the players that were registered with other League clubs. Manager Jimmy Allen signed Reg Stewart
and Bill Layton and a further £8,000 was spent on recruiting ten new players.
Colchester's first-ever League game was against old Southern League
foes Gillingham
at Priestfield
on August 19th 1950. A crowd of 19,542 witnessed a 0-0 draw. Five days later Bob Curry scored United's first-ever League goal in a 1-1 draw at Swindon
. However, it was not until August 31st that Layer Road
enjoyed its first U's goal. Arthur Turner
struck five minutes into a 4-1 win in the return game with Swindon. In fact, Colchester remained unbeaten in their first seven games. This run equalled a record for new clubs entering the Football League set by Aberdare Athletic
in 1921-22.
The U's occupied second spot in the table before the bubble burst with nine defeats in the next 10 games. Colchester finished the 1950-51 season in a creditable 16th position and averaged 10,573 through the Layer Road turnstiles. It would be the only time that Layer Road hosted a five-figure average.
Prolific marksman Vic Keeble
