Wigan Album

any help with names etc ronnie passed away dates names req

Front row 2nd left
Peter Coghlin my wifes uncle

Sorry
Peter Coghlin 2nd right knelt down

In jerseys. mid row 1st left Frank Gaskell,mid row 2nd rt Norman Whitter,Ft row 2nd left Les Taylor. Kneeling front left in coat I think is Charlie Mitchell.

I think this is more like 1952/3. Player on left of back row is Brian Lea.

cant be 52/53 that would have made ronnie myers 25 he was married then and he did not play then in 1947 he was 19 it all fits i think

Two more players on there, I think, are Ronnie Melling on the back row and Jack Lowe kneeling front rt. I would say it is 49/50.

could be not sure ken will ask his daughter for mopre details

Back row, first from left (wearing light coloured mac) is my dad Bert Jolley who mum thinks was managing the team at the time. He passed away in 2007.

This is definitely the 1947 -1948 Shamrock Rovers winning team. My dad, Bill Dumican, is 4th from the right in the back row. He attended a reunion a while back and the local paper did an article on all the fellas

Player names are:
Back Row L to R - Jack Connor, Bert Jolly, Jimmy Lyons, Bert Frost, Teddy Wynn, Mr Cyril Aldred, Ronnie Melling, Billy Dumican, Joe Kelhoe, George Edwards & Kevin Aldred
Centre Row - Charlie Mitchell, Frank Gaskell, Ronnie Myers, John Faulkner, Pat Moran, Norman Witter & John Worthington
Front Row - Garry MacDonald, Les Taylor, Jack Smith and John Lowe
