Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

I have just checked the caption on the photo I posted and it says 1956/7 team.

I don't know where I got the 60/61 from.

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Anyone aware of this site ?

Some pretty useful information on here, not sure how accurate it all is though. Most of the players names have links to them too.

very interesting site smobile, well found.;)

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Mason didn't really lose his place - it could be argued that he never had one! He played 4 games in the 55-56 season and 11 games in 56-57 (but 5 of those were as makeshift centre-half). Jimmy Anders signed in January 1957 a full year after the Liverpool game

Ossy Kid has it right, the picture is from the 56-57 season - The Tranmere game at home on the 12th September

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

doesn't include competitive cup matches - only league matches. And some of those are wrong as well. Ian Craney is listed as having played 98 league games (inc sub appearances) when he made 100, but the FL had listed two Ian Craneys (one spelt wrong) playing one season and one of them played two of the others games! When this list was compiled it must have been whilst the error was still there - but only a fan compiling a proper list would have spotted it :rolleyes:

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Like i said, memories get distorted. Can you refresh our memories and tell us the player/players who played on the left wing from 55 until Jimmy Anders signed in 1957, apart from Mason. Who was the left winger at Liverpool?.

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

I was at Liverpool for the cup game and the team was McInnes, Ashe, Mcreadie, Sneddon, Harrower, Hunter, Cocker, Wright, Stewart, Dick, Scott. I could be wrong on Cocker and Scott they may have switched wings? Other left wingers at that time were, Norrie McReadie, Henderson and a good friend of mine Willie Millar but Bert Scott played most games on the left wing prior to Jimmy Anders.

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Course if anyone has a program from that game I could be corrected.

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

I have a programme from that game (from eBay, I'm not that ancient!).

Will dig it out this weekend.

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Can't remember a winger named Henderson. Was he from Scotland

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Years ago I was delivering solvents to Rolls Royce at Hillingdon near Glasgow.
The chief security officer came to me after seeing Accrington on the tanker and told me he used to be the goalkeeper at Stanley. It turned out he was McQueen.
We had a good chat about the town and I pretended I knew a bit about Stanley.
The load wasn't due until the day after but McQueen arranged for me to unload that day so I could get back home, all because of our connections to Accrington.

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Can anyone remember the home game against Hull City when Raich Carter played for them or the 3rd round cup game against Portsmouth with Englands Jimmy Dickinson playing.

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

Remember the cup game very vaguely,wi Pompey, seem to think we crabbed a draw at Peel Park n lost the replay.? never seen as many away fans in me life walking up Burnley Rd,:eek: mind Pompey were a top side back then.:)

Re: Charlie Sneddon
 

There was also local interest that day. Tom Berry who was born in Clayton, was a regular in that Hull side. Also in later years, Niel Franklin played for Hull against Stanley at Peel Park after he came back from South America.

Thanks for all your input folks, Smobile is kindly going to bring a dvd up when he next ventures North, I have advised the family of this and also of Macca's advice to try Garth Dawson. Please keep posting if anything further turns up.
