Bloke of Wood, bottom right, boy did he love himself, notice his hair there? not one bit out of place, it stayed like that throughout the game, LOL.
I notice Raymond Woodward there too, 3rd from left at the bottom, I worked with Raymond at Pimbletts farm, he died far too young
Keith Derbyshire was my brother he died in August 1973, Ashton Town had a memorial match for him. He loved his footy, fishing and supported Wigan Rugby. Lovely to see this photo!!!!
Keith Derbyshire was my dad.He died when i was 7 years old.I am delighted to find this photograph and would love to see anymore if anyone has any.He looked so handsome and is greatly missed. I would of loved it if he could have met his grankids.
Isn't that Kenny Taberner on the front row. One of the best I ever played alongside
