Hello, Just seen this.
Back row centre (small face appearing just under the windscreen wipers) is me. Looks like you got my name wrong...It's Lawrence Foster (don't know where you got Laurence Wilson from). I played for St. Cuthbert's school along with Joe Lydon and Gerry Ainscough at the time. It would be lovely if you could correct the record.
Cyril Smith was a brutal headmaster at St Elizabeth’s, Aspull, he took delight in brutalising children with his canes. Despicable man
