My name is Bob South. Waverley Grammar School. I have some memory of meeting up with you ? or whoever a long time afterwards and I have no idea why but perhaps at Billesley Common but that does seem a little bizarre. What's your full name, I'll know it if you're whom I'm thinking about. I nearly get the name but it slips away again but it will stick one day soon

Hi There Johnny, I played for Yardley Wood occasionally and for The Dog for years. This photo was just before I joined them I think, spotted Ronnie Ward (3rd from Left on back row), Johnny Bayliss with white shirt in back row, might be Trevor Williams in the middle of the back row and could be Alan Baker just peeking his head over he front row. Bert just just on the right. Al Hughes
