Yes David keep it coming it may encourage others to post historic Schools football details, and my reasons are a bit selfish, as I captained both South Birmingham Schools and the 1st Warwickshire County team 15's and Under.

Tom thats a great link, Thanks. I wish we could find more detail, but the list of all schools trophy winners is excellent. I wish they had listed the loseing teams and the score.

Jean Yes he does look like Kenny Everitt!! Lenny Cox middle top actually played base guitar for the Brum Group "The King Bee's" and played at most of the clubs in Brum mid 60's to mid 70's. But unfortunately tragically, I believe Barrie Tustin died in a car crash with 3 other young boy's...

What a great achievement Alan, you must have been very proud of your teams. Have you got the photos to post? It so sad to hear that they no longer play for the Villa Cup at Villa Park.

We will always remember those that gave their own day for our tomorrow, God bless them all.
