Most of this side played in the Hancock Trophy Final in 1981 when we lost to Shevvy Plough n Harrow, 2-3 ( aet ). The match was played on a bone dry pitch in blustery wind at Ashton Town one friday night. Keeper,Alan Baybutt was out injured , so here's a teaser:
.... Who replaced him in goal for the final and also scored one of The Swan's two goals? And for a bonus point who got the other goal?

you're right pal, it was pooley who played in goal andscored the pen . It was a lad - not in the picture- named Leo? who got the other... a teacher mate of dave braithwaite's i recall.

Bill -it was Leo Conley who now forms part of great quiz team as " white Swan B" every Thursday with associates Berry , Braithwaite and Walls ! 3 defenders and a forward who says we did not have brains !
