I found this cutting in my late father's papers. Is this THE Brian Snape of Red Devils fame?

Yes, this is my grandfather (Brian Snape) and my grandmother, Ex- Chairman of Salford. Why do you ask? He was the only person to captain a Union team in a competitive league before and after WWII.

Thanks for replying. I don't know why my late father had the cutting. Maybe he knew him or something. Broad Oak lodge member? My dad had a car repair business in Worsley. Maybe he was a customer. Of course, I knew about his Salford connection but didn't realise the Broughton Park connection.

No problem, it’s a pleasure. I don’t know anything about Broad Oak Lodge - he wasn’t a mason. Perhaps it was the garage link?  I guess we will never know.
