Thanks for the compliments re other old photos! Here's a harder one for you!
Springfield Park, when it was all shale with no terracing in the Lancs Combination days. Only had a poor camera, but who is the inside forward scoring the goal?

it looks like our ex scottish international and player manager allan brown,he left latics to manage luton town.
i may have got mixed up as the latics played in the cheshire league when i first watched them.
