The Right hand side photo is Teddy Cheetham and the other could be his great friend Tommy Horrocks.

Also a golfer and cricketer and a lovely man as well!

Hello chaps, I am Judith Horrocks, youngest of Tommy's 4 children, e-mailing from Cape Town South Africa where I now live! Sorry to disappoint you but the one on the left is NOT my dad! Similar shape face but definately not him!

The player on the left is Cecil Kelly. He made 19 appearances and was on Wigan books from 1952 to 1953. He joined from Rochdale Hornets.
