I think you might be a little way out on the date [1963].most of the players mentioned were still at school then,and were playing for Ossie Rovers,run by Fred Hindle & Tom Proctor.
Surf Utd was run by Eric Moore.and started later.

I used to go over White Ash to watch Stan Bullcock, Irving Cookson and a small lad (Jackie something) They played for Ossie Rovers and I think it was in the early 60's. I know they were all still at Rhyddings school though.
I can also remember a good footballer from Accy called Derek Charlesworth but can't remember the name of the team

I saw Stan 3 years ago at a wedding and I also saw Irving but he doesn't go on too well (after a terrible fall at work I believe) unfortunately he didn't remember me.
The Jacky guy lived on White Ash lane I think.
I love all this reminiscing!!

John I remember a guy called Jacky Eastwood, who did go along with the Surf Utd gang, but I don't know if he played in the Boys League.

I played with a good team callled All Whites, which included Jimmy Howarth, George Clark, Ronnie Webster, Derek Connor, and Mick Gibson In later years we had a very good side called Blackstone, which was based from the top of Ossie and included Billy Baron, Roy Whttle, and some of the above lads. but I can't remember many.

All in all, the Boys League was superb, and I remember that Ormerod St, had a very good side which was mainly Accy Gram' School pupils, and run by Horace Frear.

These were good football players when I was at Holy Family, Jim Alexander, David Bradshaw, Kieth Fenwick, Sean Howarth, Rodger Livsey, Brian Metcalf. Terry Neville put a lot of time in with them, Sean Howarth was a very good gymnast as well.

Anyone remember the old primary school league teams like, Peel Park, St Pauls, St. Bartholomews, All Saints, and more? Regards all Old Saintonian. P.S. The friday afternoon ritual of shirt distribution to team members priceless. I was always last and managed to get the most damaged shirt, mum was invariably sewing the thing up all Friday evening.

Hi Jaysay, the boy on the front row, second from the right looks very much like that Jackie (can't remember surname) that I mentioned in an earlier thread who used to play for Ossie Rovers.
Also didn't Steven Done live over West End ( not skeining row but the last but one on the right on Thwaites rd going towards Blackburn rd (I'm useless in giving directions!!) I do know he married a girl called Carol Moores.
