Mud

I found this article 'Mix Up Estate stuck in the Mud'...Evening Chronicle 1971'''
it seems to refer to the field shown in the photo from the Kenton Bar facebook blog, from the silver jubilee party which indeed must have been grassed over as the residents requested in the 1971 article by 1977

Aside:recognise the woman at the back in the football photo, the 'manager'?...
clue:
Oy Oy.!...sweet please!...sweet please!

    I do note that the first paragraph mentions a "council leaflet" describing the estate - someone MUST have this leaflet. Get onto it GOM

    I see that Camel Toes were in fashion even in the 70's

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

Name the cup. Name the year.   I know one of them - far right hand side, Machiavellian smile, lizard eyes, domed stupid melon hair - Phil Leaver.  He once played for Newcastle United.
