My Grandad, Harold Bevan, back row far left. The picture says Wesley Hall AFC. It must have been Wesley Hall in Bootle,he lived in Clydesdale, 2 Breeze Hill. I wonder if anyone can recognise anyone else, I doubt it as it's such a long time ago.
Would be interesting to know were Wesley hall was in Bootle maybe Bobhamo will have something on this :D :D

This is not a typical Bootle JOC post but as it relates to football, an existing member of the site and an ex JOC goalie, I thought it might be of interest.

I am often still asked what was my greatest save during my football career and the attached Certificate shows what it was almost fifty years ago, 8th April, 1969, I was in the early stages of my pro refereeing career officiating in an amateur match in Audenshaw..

One of the goalies dived and struck his head on the goalpost and became unconscious and stopped breathing. All the team had was their typical football First Aid kit of Iodine, rubbing lotion, bandages, sticking plaster and a few oranges. Just like Orrel Pleasure on a Saturday afternoon..

The youth was dying and I was the only one with First Aid training.

I administered mouth to mouth and after a while he started breathing shallowly. He was taken away by ambulance and the game went on. He eventually made a full recovery.

The incident drew national newspaper headlines as no referee had ever saved the life of a player before.

Then about 20 years old, Alan Wray, must be around 70 now and, except for some media photos, I have never seen him since

It was my greatest save.

Jim Dolce Liverpool cup thanks Jim
That's great, Thank you
In April 1969, 50 years ago this year our team Christ Church FC won the Liverpool Cup in a final played at the old Bootle Stadium.
I'm trying to get the remaining 12 members of the team together, as near as I can to that date.
Sad that I am I still have the medal that was presented that day. see attached
Image christ church 1968/9

Christ Church team during the 68/69 season. I played full back, and am the tall guy 2nd from the right in the back row. Tough league back then Godfrey Dennis
Hi Bobby - left to right, back row as follows:
Dave Kelly (Mgr) Ian Perry, Steve Grindley, Philly Gill, Me, Jim Dolce.
Front Row:
Roy McCann, Mick Vasey, Alan Buckley, Will McGee, Kenny Kones & Martin Taylor.

The team won the Liverpool Cup in May 1969 at Bootle Stadium, referee Jack (or John) Crilly. Losing finalists I think was St Gerard’s or maybe St Mary’s.

Well well Jack Crilly would stand no messing on the pitch in them days :D :D :D Thank you again Godfrey
