Reply from Colly to the above picture, copied from Bob b's Bootle JOC thread.

great photo michael , few familiar faces there , i played for the odva in 1975 along with you and chris johnson also brin hore played in same league for ford villa , wondering why ged mears is on there as he was 2 or 3 years older than us i used to play football with him in derby park through late 60s and up to 1975 i remember him playing for england he should have been a top pro footballer , sadly ged passed away last month aged 60

after 15 games , 96 for, 98 against and only lost 5 games

Cheers Bob.

What I hope to do, is to go back and look at the match reports to see if any of the contributors were mentioned in dispatches.
Also be looking for Bootle Corpy. William Ross, Blessed Sac,Holy Ghost and any others.
Got a short report on a Netherton YC v Holy Ghost U21 match in 1971/72, that sounded like a battle. 6 booked, 1 sent off.
