De La Salle Teachers Training College team of 1975 (Manchester).
Photo: Jim Melling

Not Springfield ARLFC but some of the players went on to play for them. Jim Says: "The attached photo is of the De La Salle Teachers Training College team of 1975 (Manchester). The team played in the University League Division 1 and finished 3rd in that season. The team also won the Colleges cup and the Colleges league title in 1974. The team played Springfield ARLFC home and away in the 1975 season, lost away and won at home. There are 5 Wigan lads in the team, 3 of whom went on to join Springfield after they left College. Mick Fahey (Atherton), John Clough (Wigan) Dave Wigman (Hindley), Alan Pye (Bickershaw) and Jim Melling (Billinge) are the Wiganers, the latter three playing for Springfield from 1975 – 1981."
