Apologies for the quality but an historic first action shot, age 13, with my first camera! (One step up from a Brownie 127, just point and click!) The "Shevi" end is all grass and no spectators. The supporting player is identifiable but who scored the goal?

Is it Jimmy Prescott with Smith the goalscorer?

Yes, it's Roy Smith with Jimmy Prescott following up. Sad to report but if I remember correctly Roy was killed a few years later in a tragic pit accident.

Yes, it is Jimmy Prescott. I should know hes my Grandad. Sadly he passed away on Valentines Day 2011. He is buried at Lowton St.Marys Church if you wish to see the grave.
