Thanks Chris, it is same photo I have but mine is the tatty newspaper clip, what a great bunch of lads. The date on my newspaper clipping is 12th March 1987, I don't know that lads name either Chris, maybe someone can help.

Aye up Chris and Graham!. I don't recognise the lad either but the game was against Castle Hill at Hindley. Was the pitch up Borsdane Avenue way? Can't remember seeing this photo before. Good bunch of lads, great memories

Hi Jay, some good memories from the Scholes days, I was 29 on that photo, a few weeks before my 30th, I'll be double that in a few years. Many thanks to Chris Piper and Steve Platt for getting this photo on.

Chris, take a look at the photo under this sports section of Goose Green Labour club. (Not Goose Green United). I'm on that one, seventeen years old then. A lot of my mates are on the Wigan youth photos. I played mostly for Lamberhead (no photos), and St Judes. Jay was a great rival of mine at Bridgewater when I was at Lamberhead, both decent teams, remember them days Jay? There should be more of these old footie photos on here.

The text from the newspaper cutting read like this:

Division one side Scholes are this weeks featured club. They are currently lying half-way in the league table and are enjoying a fair season but are a little inconsistant. Secretary and manager is Bob Disley who occasionly comes out of retirement when the need arises. He is assisted by long serving Scholes player Ray Seddon. Home ground is St Catherines playing fields and HQ is the Flamingo public house. The playing staff includes the tough tackling Ray Davies, goalgetter Graham Coyle, Dave Holmes and the three Jordan brothers.

I think this photo is on Laithwaite Park, St Marks ave in background.

Had some good, tough games against Lamberhead, I remember breaking my nose in one of the games!! Just seen the Goose Green Labour Club photo Graham, are you sure its you and not David Soul!!!!!!!!!!!!

my oldest lad plays for scholes now, theyre doing quite well,near top of premier.I remember jay working on wholesale market at goose green when i worked on spud wagon,god thats about 100 years ago. Your right jay, think that is david soul, or his older brother.

Jay, Chris, so you don't think I look like Fernando Torres then? David Soul, we are going back now!

I seem to remember that guy being something to do with Bob Disley - think he was Bob's boss
