Hi

My dad, David Giles, played for them late 50s and would like to get in touch with any others playing at that time such as Bernard and Norman Gilbert, who worked as cobblers for Paynes, can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi David, i have only just found this post, my Grandad was called Norman Gilbert and he played for many different football teams, he has some medals. Was the Bernard and Norman you are looking for brothers? If they were then I’m afraid it’s not my grandad but if by coincidence they had the same surname it could possibly be him, I’m unsure if my grandad worked for Paynes, he was always a builder that I knew of, I just had to comment just in case.
thank you
Julie
