Colin Harvey attempts a shot at home to WBA -
Home player and England international right back Tommy Wright -
The very underrated John Hurst, a great dual centre half with Labby as a former forward could break out of deence and score many times - they raved about John Stones this guy was easily better than him -
Colin Harvey & Fred Pickering who sadly died this year -

Looks like the awarding of the penalty which resulted in our goal. Foul on David Johnson. Big Joe, going through a lean spell, hit it straight at the keeper but Henry knocked in the rebound. That was one of the games played on a midweek afternoon, due to power cuts; they'd knocked us out of the cup the previous Saturday.

A good side were the Rovers. England players Ronnie Clayton and Bryan Douglas with the future Toffee legend Vernon. And Pick coming in the following season to blast some bazookas at opposition goals in the topflight. And very successfully to boot
Alan Ball was one of Bryan Douglas heroes modelled himself on - I met Bryan him in the early 1980's up in Clitheroe market with a sign on his DIY stall ex Blackburn rovers international on Clitheroe Market when I lived up there - sad compared what the film stars wages they hand out now ......A good side were the Rovers.

My older brother stated we tried to sign him he was brilliant -along with Vernon ......
