We only played 2 seasons in the early 60s then the Sunday Alliance 1960-67
Erdington Libs were in the Sunday Alliance and were based at the Golden Cross, Short heath Rd.
Some of the members were Kenny Chappel, Peter chappel, Trevor Chappel, David Arnold, Barry Toomer, John Hewitt, Dave sheppard, Ian Littlehales and Brian Liddington.
I lived on the corner of Streetly Rd and Short Heath Rd fpr 12 years, and before that round the corner in Streetly Rd for 8, so the Golden was the nearest pub, and my 'home ground' was Perry Common Rec. I remember the Erdington Libs, but none of the names ring any bells.
I played for Witton Rangers, It must have been around 1952/3 before I went in the army. I think it was in the early days of Festival League.The only names I can remember were Bernard Gilbert, Norman............the manager/player. We didn'y win anything.Did anyone play in this league. If so who did you play for?. Jean.
Thanks John. Great photo's Bob. Did Johny play for Lion Rangers at any time Jim?. Jean.
There was a Gordon Ritchie, Tommy Mehan, Mervin Smith and will try to remember some more later. Lovely display of medals Pauly.Jean.Lion Rangers were a good team around 1962 I think. I remember them turning up at Perry Common Rec one Sunday in a new strip. Dark green shirts black shorts and burgundy socks. They looked very impressive. I knew a couple of the players but I can't remember their names now.
