they got connor wrong should be conroy good team

Tommy That's definitely you on the left of the front row. Later for Warrington Rugby League Club

Would that be Barry Critchley???

I recognise Barry Critchley, captain, holding the ball. He was on Wigan's books from 1960 to 1962, making 5 appearances, scoring 1 try and 4 goals.

yes it would

Harold Heap 2nd from left front row next to TC

to Broady, I remember barry Critchley he used to be good friends with my brother John Walls

my brother kenneth smith is on the back row third from the left

The Captain is definitely Barrie Critchley. In 1956 he would have been aged 14yrs.

what a good rugby school. at st.thomas more i cannot think why three town team players were not on this great team they were bobby edwards, jackies brother also brian fitsimmons, john lannon, not to forget johnny meehan , who was captain all through st cuthberts and captain at thomas more for the 13s side and vice captain for the seven aside team. what a player johnny meehan was he played his heart out every game, so sad.

To anyone that remembers my brother John Walls. Sadly he passed away earlier this month. Sadly missed.

I signed for Wigan in 1958 to 1964

In response to Uncle Fester’s comment, the reason they didn’t play in that team is because they left school at Christmas, a brilliant team was split up owing to this.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Johnny Walls, a great school friend he will be sadly missed, fond memories
