NOSTALGIA: Rolling back the years at Glossop FC

Our thanks to readers who got in touch following our photograph of a Glossop Football Club team from more than 50 years ago.

Particular thanks to Frank Wood who named the manager, the trainer/coach and all the players pictured. 

Frank said the shot was taken in the 1969-70 season when Glossop played in the Manchester Premier Division and not the North West Counties League as we said. 

Of course, it was before the club changed its name to Glossop North End. 

Frank came up with the following names:

Back row (left to right) George Allman (manager), Neville Taylor, Ray Adie, Mike Harold, Eddie Holland, Ken Scruton, Keith Coates (trainer/coach) and George Sweeney. 

Front row (left to right) Adrian Williams, Malcolm Abbot, Jim Bardsley, Terry Wright, Jimmy Rollands and Ronnie Williamson.
