I think the lad in the middle row was David Collier, he had a younger brother called John Collier, they moved to Hindley. I think John Bytheway was a fireman, someone told me he passed away a few years ago.
I remember Don Davis very well. I didn't live in Platt Bridge but my Grandma Ellen Crompton lived at 435 Liverpool Rd. opposite Farrimonds shop. Don lived off Eatock St. and we used to play football at the back of my Gran's house along with Billy Dwyer and two lads called Jones who lived on the corner of Eatock St. and Liverpool Rd. I think Don had an older sister Betty who was a conductress on LUT buses.
What a blast from the past
Played against these lads then and later when they went across road to Moss Lane, also some of these lads came to play for us after they left school at Holy Family youth club,Keep these photo's coming John this is what ww is all about

Hello Lyndon,
It was Kenneth Jones that lived on corner of Eatock Street, he moved away when his parents split up. I Would like to know where he is and how the world has treated him as I think about him often, as youself also.
The last time I saw you, you said you was at Dover Lock Abram, I don't know whether that has changed.
Anyhow, as they say, Who am I..? See if you can guess!
If you can't Email me. Cheerio.
