Think I've got the correct Bobby Boardman. By my reckoning born 1936.

Prolific scorer for Cyprus and Winifred Sports in the late 1950's.

1954/55. 57 goals for Cyprus.



1955/56. 64 goals for Cyprus.



1956/57. 27 goals for Winifred Sports



1957/58. 30 goals for Winifred Sports.



1958/59 Division 1 Champions and Everton Cup winner with Winifred Sports beating Bensons 3 - 2 in the final.





The teams.




1959/60 Harwood Cup Winner with Winifred Sports, scoring 2 goals in the final against Alexandra.




Still one of the best headlines I've seen.

Bootle Times October 25 1957.
