Margaret, can you remember what the match was all about, and which club or pub did you work in?

Albert Johnson is 4th from the left on the back row. Albert was president there for many years I worked with him at Stones and Parkside

Quite likely Joan, my dad was a member there until he died a couple of years ago

3rd from left on the front row looks like Margaret Lowe, the 2nd from the right on the very back rowlooks like Bob Kelly.

Thanks for your help guys, a recognized a few faces but couldn't put names to them. Goose Green Labour Club used to be my dads second home (according to mum), was nice to see him taking part in helping others
