clifford Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I found this team photo taken on the training ground at sheddings Any ideas when and the players My granddad is on the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughyed34 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Jack Keith second in on top row?Winslade fifth from left back row I think,4th on the second row is Ganley. That's my best guesses lol, no idea on the year tbh. I'm sure more qualified people on here will be able to probs name the whole squad mate. Great pic that though,thanks for sharing it.

clifford Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Cheers R34, it was in a scrap book my mum did for my granddad when he was on his death bed When my mum died my uncle took it. My aunt gave it to me when he died and I ve never looked at it just knew that there was programmes and cuttings of Oldham in there Ill look at it again again soon but it was upsetting, yes rugby players have deep feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Players not officials. Top row, 1Jack Keith 2 Ken Jackson 3 Derek (Rocky) Turner 4 Charlie Winslade 6 John Etty? middle row, 2 Alan Davies 3 Bernard Ganley 4 Johnny Noone front row. 1 Frank Pitchford 2 Alan Kellett? Cannot help with the date, would be pleased to know who the rest of that team, incidentally the best we’ve ever had, were. Apologies if any are wrong, perhaps someone will put me right. the ‘photo brought back many happy memories, thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 No problem there might be more hidden gems when I look again. It has taken me 4 years to get to this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughyed34 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Incidently my mum bought me a copy from the chron of the Greatest Oldham side ever known. I've posted it below,hope Clifford doesnt mind me posting it (some players I'm sure are in both pics,might help with filling some gaps in). I was brought up with tales of some of these great players by my Gran and Grandad. Mam actually delivered eggs to Charlie Winslade's house and later nursed Alan Davies when he was in the Oldham Hospital for some reason. Even though I obvs never saw them play, the names live on in my mind. This history should never be forgotten. I still get goosebumps just looking at pics like these. Superb. Hope when the time is right you will find many more treasures Clifford. All the best pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 I'll will look, the club paid for a comic book for him to read in hospital and its very good No not at all I had stories of my dad sitting on Herman Hiltons hand when he was living in Blackpool when he finished playing. The stories of heard about the mess house, and Bernard Hanley telling Derek Turner to shut up when he missed a tackle against Wigan, they scored but Ganley kicked 6 or 8 goals to win the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neversaydie Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Thanks R34 allthe players I worshipped are on that picture, and you can match most of them to the. Previous picture.. What a team that was, there are a few references to past Roughyed greats on youtube, (rugby league 1950’s) sadly after they had left us to play elsewhere though.
