I know that many will have this programme and will have seen this feature, but I thought I'd scan and upload the pages for anyone that might be interested. The images were only acquired through a home scanner so it's not the best quality in the world (and the quality will probably be further reduced when I attach them to the thread) but they're easily readable when viewed in actual size.
Featured players include Tommy McQueen, Les Cocker, Jim Harrower, etc.

That's very interesting Shaker, I remember most of the players mentioned, There were also the likes of Willy Kelly, Hughie Ness who took up as an electrician after football, Harvey Mccready, got to know Harvey in later years, was a very good darter and mated about with big Jack Mcgregor who was landlord at the Palatine for a time. Am I right in thinking that Jimmy Harrower went on to be mine host at the Castle Hotel on Whalley Road, seem to remember going to his daughters 21st. There was also a lad called, I think it was Henderson actually got involved with Ossy Immanuel in the late sixties early seventies, he ran a business making pots and pans on I think its called Barnes Street near the Queens pub
