WHAT A CRACKING PHOTO,IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES,SOME OF THEM WERE IN SPRINGFIELD BOYS CLUB.
I'm in complete agreement with you Don on this one. Brilliant to see a photo of Pop Kennedy and Mr Larkin. Don't know any of the players (I was only 3 in 1947)but remember the Springfield Boys Club well.
Allan, I take it that you're the A.Bolton in the photo.
[b]It was "Conk" Kennedy when I was there, but I did a bunk & went to Gidlow in '49. That team would be about my brothers age, Bill Silcock was in the same class, I also remember Philbin, & Mr larkin of course...Nice chap he was. Conk warmed my hands a time or two with his cane, it was like goin' to jail, gettin' to his office. Is the A Bolton from Woodhouse Lane, near the dogtrack?[/b]
No Art.The one who lived near Woodhouse lane dog track was Bernard Moxham.
ALL THE FACES BRING BACK GOOD MEMORIES,W SILCOCK A BOLTON K DOONEY T CULLEN & MORE MOST FROM THE SPRINGFIELD AREA OR,BEECH HILL.& SPRINGFIELD BOYS CLUB.GOOD OLD DAYS.
Its good to see my old classmates. I was with them all through my schooldays.
