Derek, l worked with Mick and he use to keep loads of records on the teams in the JOC, believe me, he was fantastic on information on the JOC teams in them days, look back on my first post l mention PENTAGON and this all started from my big brother taking me to the games in the JOC when PENTAGON was a great team and some of the lads played for WINDHAM UTD . Got loads of information on this Ronnie Scott, Gerry Bridge, Brian Bromilow, Albie Bell, Micky German, Eddie Lloyd, John Kelly Henry Bradley Ray Mears ( Bootle Lad) and loads more great players.

Derek if l could meet up with you and look at that book it would be great to see it like l said he use to do them at home and at work more at work well that's another story mate

Billy Simmes was another great manager in the 60s from Bootle

I also played for him (MICK GOODWIN ) and my big brother alongside his son Steve Goodwin who was a great player great left foot, should have made it, in them days along with John Harris great left foot, Gerry Jones what a player and some more l could mention.

Well thanks, Eddie Ken and Dan.

I had happy days in the JOC and Crosby and Formby District League like so many others who played in them, leagues.

Lots of us came home from school and looked forward to going to YMCA, Bootle South, and Brunnie playing football remember them days in the street canal st. my brother Ronnie Scott Gerry Bridge Doug Hastings Brian Munrow Freddie Thomas and loads more John Kelly in the YMCA

Kept us fit as young lads and looking up to our the older players and we had a good social life when we got older having a pint talking about the next game. Loads will remember training and going for a pint after training talking about the next game.

Regards Bobby

Do you remember any good times

Loads of names coming back from Dans Articles

[Invicta]

Bob. We would usually have a pint after training in the Stand Park and maybe two pints after a match on a Saturday.
Then we’d go home, get changed , meet the girls and rendezvous back in the Stand to discuss the match and consume lots more ale whilst the girls chatted and drank Snowballs. Happy Days as you say. Ken

ps I was 49 years married yesterday to the same Snowball drinking girl I took to the Stand

[bob. b]

Love it Ken
Remember going to the Windham the Stanley with my brother after they training you can only have one shandy
Had many a pint in the Mons after the game and training.
Don't tell Henry or John Kelly
