Hi Stuart - it's Ian Cross; I remember 'cos he shares the same birthday as me. You're right about the other two names.

Harold (Harry), My Brother-in-law who now works at Rose Bridge put me onto this! Great times, note me and James Sudworth use to wash our laces. Names if you can't remember Albert Aspinall (Dab-Dab), Ian Cross (Crossy - Married to Chris), Stephen Bennett (Big Ben), Mr Shenton (Great Teacher), Ian Packingham (Packy), yourself!, Johnny Bamber, Vincent Radcliffe (Vinny - same birthday as me! I think?), James Sudworth (Spud), Paul Kyte, 'ME' (the handsome one! Stopped play footy at 51!), Phillip Dumican and Paul Magrath. Where was Johnny Taylor? I seem to have lost this photo, but I do remember it, thanks for the memories. I will keep a link to this site, all the best to all of you guys, Vic

if my memory is still with me i think the reason john taylor could have been missing is he broke his collar bone playing rugby for the 2nd year team, or he ws just not good enough yo get into the football team.
