I cannot believe how few names I can put to the faces. I recognise Barry Cross (Capt) to Mr Tait's right, Alan Clark (me - Vice Capt to Mr Tait's left) and Eric Winstanley to my left. Not to be too picky but I think this is the spring/summer of 1967 as I graduated from Manchester Uni in 1970 so must have started in October 1967! I've lived in Scotland these past 33 years but still love my cricket (non playing variety). Now semi retired and head down to Chester-le-Street a few times a year for a day's County Cricket at Durham. Happy to hear from anyone else who can name the team.

Thanks to other commentators we are just about there with the full team. Barry Wignall is a name that I recognise - football team perhaps? Its not David Lowe as I see David from time to time and he was more academic than sporty. Alan

Just wondered if Barry Wignell is the same guy I used to work with at Shell Mex and BP in Manchester. Please drop me a line at roy_havery@yahoo.co.uk if thats correct I would love to hear from you again.
