Which Sandford sister was it Annie or Martha would be interested to find out more about your connection
 
My names Kieran Sandford, and I'm Teddy's grandson. I would love any information or photos any of you have on Teddy or Lily, would be much appreciated.
Hi.Just came across this thread.Teddy's sister violet was my nan.Do you remember her?
 
What an interesting thread. Although my connection to the Albion was much earlier my gt grandfather being the first club secretery. I now have an interest in the history of the club and it's players.

John these are lovely photo's.
Both my Dad and my son, had trials for The Baggies. My dad, was Harry Taylor, and he played for HANDSWORTH WEDNESDAY, and that is where he was spotted for a tr-out with them. Sadly the war interveened. My son Mark was playing for LUCAS FC and had a trial at Spring Road, under Roy Horobin, sadly he had the old tap on the shoulder, and that was that.But my dad often spoke of Teddy.
 
Hi, just come across this chat looking for old photos of the shops. My Nan was Ted’s sister Annie. My mum used to work in the shop with her and I have memories of being there when I was little and my Nan and uncle lived there until there was a fire.
 
My nan was teddy sandfords sister, I remember going in cafe when first started going up the Albion with my dad.
you had jones sweet shop as well, who were also relatives
My Nan was Annie, I also remember going to the old sweet shop, although sure the shop was closed by then but remember sitting in front of the fire in the back room. Did you ever visit Mrs Foster who lived off the main road down the side of the old ground?
