Yeah, I knew them all, especially Gordon Ashworth. He use to be friendly with Stan Drinkwater. Mick Pettifer must have lived near to you, he, his dad and hios mum all worked there during the 60's.
Same with the Drinkwaters. Stan, Alan, and Frank (played for Enfield) were all there at during the 60's. I last saw Stan about 18 months ago in Accy.
Were you related to Tommy Gilmartin (he had a gammy leg due to having Polio as a kid)? I worked next to him for nearly 4 years, he was a grand bloke and was a committee member at the "Bottom Club".
Another lad who was there at the same time, was Fred Gorton. I use to play football with him on Saturday afternoons in the Accy Combination. Happy days!!
