Ken & bob I do remember dubboning my boots and the nails of the studs sticking through my boots. I used to go up to Orrel Pleasure with my boots as a kid trying to get a game for anyone who was short. I played for the Bootle Corpy in one game.

[kenswayken]

I played on Orrel often enough. If I remember correctly wellies were more appropriate than dub boned boots K

Eddie orrel pleasure muddle pitches oxo after the game. Front pitch for top teams

[Eddy Lloyd]

Bob it must have had the longest changing room pavilion in the UK.

[bob. b]

Oh yes Eddie walked into the middle you could go right or left all made of wood .. clean my boots in cold water in the toilets make sure you where not last blocked sinks take shorts and socks home to me mam to clean and she would say couldn't you stand up today playing football hand wash first to get mud off. Stuart road Bootle all made of wood as well.........wonder if bobhamo has a pictures of it....

[BOBHAMO]

Bob if only we could go back and take photos
orrell changeing rooms more like cow sheds
from a young kid in the fifties it was are day out
and later a few seasons in the joc for the corpy
but they where terrible pitchs as you know
i worked on both orrell and stuart road pavilions and bootle stadium
just the basics but thats all we needed
i try and get as many bootle photos as i can on anythink
so they wont be lost for ever

[EdMcDonald]

Me thinks that the photo was taken at Orrell Pleasure Fields at the top of Bailey Drive. Over Ford Station Bridge

A Very memorable photo Bob and some of the comments take you back , we had some great times up there at "The Pleasure" You could always get a game if some one had failed to turn up and before the game started You were told your name -That is the name of the player who didnt show up-in case the Ref asked You-One coach took me on for a game and told me -DONT do any fouls and for Gods sake dont get sent off.

I forgot to mention in my previous post -Check out the bike against the fence -Hes been there before-if it was going to get knocked off -You'd have to take the fence post too -Theres a great big chain round it.

[the duke]

Remember the times I used to go to the ponds by the allotments at the bottom and the 1st time I played there , it was for Liverpool Arms, I was 15, 1968 . Also the Giro getting built on it, right about one thing , changing room was big and you could walk up and down and get a game by asking around are you short of player, if so you where in, happy days.

[bob. b]

JTS and The duke there are some great pictures of some of the Bootle joc teams under Bootle joc. Regards bob maybe bobhamo can add this to it ??

Found them have a look on history
