Des Seabrook second player from right on the back row.
Cyril Hankey, my wife's cousin, back row far left.
John Lydon: kneeling (right).
Colin Nic far right back row in blue
I can't see Billy Lyon in the line-up. I'm sure he played for the first XV then!
From left to right:
Back row - Cyril hanky, Harold Bibby, ???, ???, Peter Bateman, Des Seabrook, Bill Huxley.
Middle row - Richie Richardson, Alec Hurst, John Murphy, David Jones (Capt), Jim Lloyd, ???, Les Boltpn.
Front - Geoff Taylor, John Lydon.
Sorry Dick but that isn't Colin Nicholson in blue , I served my time with him at at Standish Eng co.
No Billy Lyon at this time. He was still at Upholland GS.
Are we sure it is 67/68. The glory years were very near and not many of that team were in the Team that won the Lancs. Cup.
Is the lad in blue not the eventual first team touchjudge ?
Was that before the war 'Blue Boy'?
Next to Harold Bibby is Frank Sutton and next to him is Stuart Baxter
Missing name is Dave Fitton next to Les Bolton, is the touch judge not Jimmy Williams he liked to hang about with rugby players.
John Hilton in blue. First team touch judge for many years.
