the real cherry and whites

Superbly done George.

George I believe a certain Jack Roberts who played in this team jointly holds the record number of leauge and cup goals (66) scored in a season along with the great Harry Lyon. Any idea which one is Jack Roberts.

I've looked at another photo I have of that team and it would seem Jack Roberts is in the middle row, third from the left (the second player behind the Chairman Joseph Howarth)

Beltin' photo George, you can't see the numbers.

Back Row: Arthur Roberts, Richard Farrimond, E. Robinson, John Worswick, Harold Plimmer Kidd, Rev. Fr. Thomas Greenhous, Peter Dwyer.
Middle Row: F. Senior (Trainer), Teddy Felton, Jack Roberts, R. Talbot, E. Case (President of the Cheshire League), Lewis Caunce, Norman Robson, George Scott, Charlie Spencer (Manager).
Front Row: J. Rutter, Joseph Howarth (Chairman), Andrew Patterson, Norman Watson (Captain),Sid Tuffnell, Tom Heywood. Sam Armes.
