cathrine,thank you for this photo it brings back lovely memories of my school days i am the one holding the ball,who are you? are you related to someone in the photo
my husband billy is sat behind you
erwick,you have named the front row correctly are you eric winstanley ?
I knew if I waited long enough this photo would appear, as I don't have this, plus any of my Form photo's, thanks Catherine, 1st left back row is John Evans, I'm the 'keeper 2nd right back row. 1st right middle row is Leonard Pilling (I think)
I left in 1951 & Arthur Huges looks just the same in that photo.
I've waited donkey's years to see this line-up again; it's got to be the side that demolished our school (Up Holland Sec.) team 8-1 in the final of the 1962-63 Lythgoe Cup Final at Springfield Park.
One of the Ashton Sec. lads - 'stocky' with bushy hair and pins like oak saplings,scored about four goals in that final and since then I've neither seen or heard anything about him - until now!
He's almost certainly the lad on the extreme left of the middle row.
Anyone know his name please?
Like Kenny Roby and John Picton, I was in my 3rd Year whilst playing for the Seniors and also vividly recall Geoff Frodsham giving his usual immaculate display in the Final.
In subsequent years I played either with or against Geoff, Kenny, John Picton, Kevin Atherton and Keith Fairhurst - all of 'em smashing players.
philip i remember you well the name you are looking for is philip davies regards keith
