can someone put names to the pictures please?

Please go through their names. I played with curley , been racking my brain is it wilding, Simpson .just don't recognize the back row . would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

the one and only curly marsden, 1st left, front row.

Back row l to r Mr Wilding, Jimmy Dawber, Roy Huxley.
Front row, l to r Alan 'Curly' Marsden, Alan Wilding and Terry Wignall.I WAS leaving it for somebody to have a guess at.

Back row in the middle looks like Trevor Syner, worked with Curly, Trevor & Terry at Douglas Mill.

Thanks Roy

Ian, it does a bit yes, but it isn't, as stated, it is Jimmy Dawber. Are you sure you 'worked' with Terry,? lol.

Roy, maybe I should have put I worked at Douglas Mill & Terry was there :-)... r.i.p

I'm sure Alan had a brother ,can anyone help ? I have fond memories of kickabouts with Alan and his dad in the backs of collingwood st, anotherlad with us ,I got Barry in my mind can you help. Thanks.

Correct billg.

The "Curly" referred to, looks very much like John Marsden a prominent amateur player in the late 70,s and could have been his brother

ABH, Curly was John's brother.

billg, could it have been Barry Dawber?

That's what was running thru my mind ? Was it Barry dawber or was it Barry wilding. I now believe we all had fun kicking ball about in backs of collingwood st.

deffo not alan marsden from langdale he wasn't even born in 1959

All Standishers these lads Betty, sorry no Ashtonians or Brynners on here.

That sure is Jimmy Dawber top row, in the middle.. my Grandad! He's just showing me the photocopied picture now :D merry Christmas guys!
