I knew Sid Hitchison, when he started a John Pit in the 50's as a young lad leaving school..

I was an admirer of the skills of the Parkside team, to my standard they were like doctors, however they and other mining teams were responsible for lifting the overall standard of first aid. I used to watch Brian Talbot in particular when he was captain, I learned a lot from him. I would be very interested to find out about any of these men.
Thank you, Rob Meston Westoe Colliery
