Here are some early
photographs going back to 1939/1940. These people would have been born about
1922, so it is unlikely that any of them are still alive. These pictures
were kindly donated by Susan Crosland, daughter of John Crosland (RIP) who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross
during World War II and later went on to play for Blackpool F.C. Readers
have identified Gerry Quinlan (RIP), Pierce Barry (RIP) and Kevin Gribbon (RIP). Does anybody
know who the others are?
