This was the best team ever to come out of ABRAM,
Won every thing in font of them 1950-51
The league, the LYTHGOE Cup & The WIGAN CUP,
There is only two of these lads alive today,
Bob Jones the goalkeeper & Walt Taylor 3rd player from the end on the right,back row.
The photograph is taken on Holy Familys football field as that was Maypoles home ground, the old Holy Familys school is in the back ground

Bob Jones is still good for a gallon of Bitter on a Sunday afternoon. A gentleman personified.

Isn't that Fred Elliott from Spring View in the suit next to the captain. If I remember rightly, Fred was the Training Officer at Maypole.
