I remember as a kid about 14 going to Orell Pleasure with my boots around my neck looking for a game the Corpy were short and asked me if I wanted a game I was very fast and tricky the opposition tried to kick me into touch but couldn't catch me :) plus the Corpy lads protected me and threatened to knock their blocks off if they did catch me. That was my very first game in the JOC I can still smell the linoment in the changing rooms

Alan brian lived at the back of me :D :D :D
Jackie Gee was a class mate passed away now.
i worked for the corpy :roll:
and we had to work saterday mornings
but if you played for the team you got off :D :D :D
there where a few lads who played the names have gone but they where on the door at litherland town hall
so most times i got in for nothing
bobby bellew played he was a painter to
cant remember evens first name but remember him
Eddy is right there was not much skill factor and if you showed promise :D :D
a few kicks up the backside where common
but are footy boots for toe ending where good protection
Ken that linament was better than any spray as long as you where carefull going the loo :D :D :D
it was a lear ning curve to play on orrell pleasure
and i am glad to say i played there

Could well be Joe but i am not 100% certain, if it is Tommy i played alongside him for the Talbot, he was on West Brom's books when Johnny Giles was the manager. JJC.
