I am sat in middle with ball at my feet, Ken Prescott is on my right.
Cyril Kennedy is the goal keeper & John Fairclough is on back row 2nd from left.
Others are Peter Foster, George Wilcox, Frank Martland & Brian Pitcher.
Can anyone help with the rest?
Freddie Lathom is the man on the far right wearing glasses and a mac.
I know some of there faces but cant put names onto them.
Front row on the right,could that be Graham Pearson?
Goalkeeper is Alf Ricketts not Cyril Kennedy. Cyril Hankey is on Alf's right. Tommy Wilkins is first on left, Back Row.
This is the full team.

We didn`t have a Manager, just a couple of volunteers/offiials who did all the chores including picking/selecting the team, first aid/cold sponge and taking photos etc.
