APART FROM JOHN AND TERENCE THE REST OF THE LADS CAME FROM HINDLEY, IN THE 70S THEY FORMED HINDLEY TOWN, I THINK KEITH AND RONNIE ARE STILL INVOLVED

My dad (Mick Hannan) is bottom left. He claims to have scored two goals that day...can anybody verify this? :)

Hiya Sheldon,its Liams mum.Typical of your dad to claim 2 goals!

The lad on back row left is my brother Billy Cowburn.
dont know whether Mick Hannan scored two that day,all I can say is that Mick wasnt fast but he was tricky.

I used to play for Highfield, but we also played for a team in the Warrington league some from Highfield and some from what was APB Keith Dootson and Jimmy Ball were amongst some of the APB lads who used to play.Everywhere we played we were hated for coming from Wigan. I did play a season at APB in the early 70's greetings to you all,if anyone is in contact with Keith I would appreciate it if you pass on my E-mail adress to him.If you look up Highfield FC site you will see a press cutting of our cup win in Warrington in 1970 Cheers Dick.

Did Dennis take out their goalkeeper in this match, i believe this was the usual tactic.

I went out with Rob Rotheram in 1967, it was nice to see a photograph of him.
