Know them all, and know what the photo was all about!!

Presentation to the legenary Haggis of around 2k ( which was a massive sum in those days) at the end of his testimonial year. Cheque was drawn on Barclays Silver St Bury and had to be pre-ordered. In the photo are Tony Durkin (then Sports Editor of the Accy Observer, the Club Secretary ( I forget his name, some young lad) Tony Noonan, MD of Willowbridge Transport and Vice Chairman of the Club and Haggis.

Anything else required!!!

Cheers TM for this, good days!!

PS Gave the answer without opening the photo. I wrote this reply from memory not realising that the Barclays Bank address was so clear, honest!! Remenber walking thro Bury with the cheque, it was massive, felt a right idiot!! ( some might say I'm still one now)

In the Shurm era there was a small clubhouse, two small stands, the moat was around the pitch and no wall!!
Step 7 of the non league pyramid and we were proud!!

I was just thinking that was over 25 years ago !!!! :eek: Help I've just realised I'm an old git. :D

The thing you've missed, is the good man looking after the pitch in that era; a top fella, Shurm senior. As said previously, proud to have known him!!:)

i'm guessing at either

Attachment 14186 or Attachment 14187

the one that TM posted was originally designed and ordered by Mr T in the early eighties. THe first version had a gold/brass plated back to it. It was redone the following year with a silver/chrome/tin back to it.

according to Southern Red a few months ago

You're right Macca. The one I have is from the early 80s.
