Great stuff Dan,
I'd be interested in anything you could find on FORD ATHLETIC which was based in Cooksons.
Figure late 50s/ early 60s.
There is a photo on here somewhere, they were a good side, sometime run by my Dad.
Thanks
Ken

Thanks Dan,
I remember many of those Ford Athletic names and the Cup win.
The J. Edwards ( Secretary ) was my Dad , he actually , managed, coached, organised, ran on with the cold sponge and provided Oxo at half time, meanwhile Mum washed the kit in the Dolly Tub.
The death of Billy Hodges devastated the team, he was an outstanding player and very popular man.

Found this photo on the entertainments page of the Bootle Times, November 26 1954.
Chadburns were very late entrants in Division 1 for the 1954/55 season.
Other players involved; Harold Westhead (GK). Donald Courtney. Tommy Done.
They only played this one season in the JOC, during this period.
Final Table 1954/55.
