    Hi there Rob,
    The club was founded in 1888 - not 1989. I helped organise the Centenary events and made the welcome speech to the guests from Cheshire and Lancashore clubs at the anniversary dinner at the Novotel, Worsley. Dave Walmsley responded on behalf of the guests. The first match in 1888 was against Timperley and in the centenary match we beat them 2-1. I scored both goals for Sale. BTW, I've lived in Tasmania since 1999 and have the Top Goalscorer trophy, which was presented to me at the AGM in 1999, since I was deemed the club's all-time top goal scorer after more than 500 goals in 25 years as a member of the club. Cheers, Phil Rid

    Just remembered Simon Athefold got the first against Timperley. I scored both goals in a 2-1 win the morning after the centenary dinner.
