kenton bar football team 1974-75
Here is a photo I found during more extensive research in a library... I remember the football team played for the 'Bagnall Cup' and played 'derbys' v St Cuthbert’s and also v Mountfield, North Fawdon, Wyndham, Montague and Snow Street (we and everyone else always thrashed Snow Street at least 12-0-their home pitch was at an angle of 45 degrees...) Note the' flag pennants' which were inspired by the Leeds United strip from the 1973-74 season on the socks of some of the kids in the front row...these had the numbers of the players on. the 10 first team players are all wearing the blue top with yellow hoop:the' subs' are wearing... whatever! It looks like they must have won the Bagnall cup that year! Anyone recognise themselves or any of the players?... (The tecka is Mr Brownlaw, a true gentleman...) PS:Photo not taken at Kenton bar school-note the basketball net-maybe taken at Kenton school?...) Kenton Bar Pyramid Appreciation Society
The step pyramid at Fawlee/Beal green is no more...I went to photograph it but it is gone, as is the slide that was there...only a small ripple on the green grass which marks the spot betrays its former existance... :(
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they demolished that one only and left the other two(Ryal and Hartburn)?...
there are four in the picture you dolt - I demand that you investigate all of them and take current pictures.
ReplyDeleteYes,yes obvously:I ommitted to allude to the one they murdered along with our beloved holy grail when the demolished them-the one at the shops. We already have a magnificant one of the one at Hartburn on the blog, and can I sugggest you use it as your screen saver and get a tattoo of it ...the master posted an arial view of the one at Ryal. As I say it would be pointless photographing the sites of Fawlee and the shops as there a just ripples in the sand that remain...how horrible and cruel, foolish and mannerless...
