It looks like Jim Sullivan on the far left which would date the picture at 1951-52. At that time Jim Sullivan was the Wigan coach.

Would this photo have been taken in the early 1950s, David?
The T. Egan seated on the middle row looks very much like my old mate Tom Egan, who used to work on the door at the Empress/Casino in later years.
Mick, we think it may have been in the early 50's

Don't think that's Jim Sullivan' he dose'nt look big enough, but he dose have a look of him. Could this team be Shamrock Rovers?
David, Jim Sullivan played for Wigan with Grandad as far as I know.
