In answer to your question anon,all four were selected to represent Durham County juniors. With games against Durham County Grammar schools, Westmorland, Northumberland and West Riding. Jimmy Murray left winger, turned fullbacks inside out. Trevor Cockeril inside forward, had everything and scored goals for fun. David Hawke centre forward,exciting player.,,and myself, don’t know how much it cost my father, I didn’t ask. Mr J Ison was manager, and Mr W Pigg was team attendant. A good effort I thought for the ex- schoolboy’s in only it’s second year.
You are right Terry about Brian Walker because it is the Stockton Junior F.A.team that play in the Durham Inter-Association Cup which is mentioned in the other Stockton Juniors photo. Fishburn Juniors were always a hard team to beat up there & the area has produced some top players like Gordon Jones & Colin Cooper to name a few. Who were the four Stockton Ex-Schoolboys who played in the county trial & did any make the county team?
I don’t think Brian Walker ever played for the ex-schoolboy’s but he did play for the Stockton Junior FA v North Riding. A team selected from the Stockton & distict junior league. He played for Fishburn Juniors, at left back. He also played in the North v South Durham junior trial match at Chester-le-Street, Saturday 6th October 1956. Four lads from the ex-schoolboy’s took part in that trial. Considering the number of junior teams in Durham at that time I think it was a true reflection of the strength of youth football on Teesside.
IN THE BOTTOM PHOTO THE PLAYER ON THE RIGHT OF THE BACK-ROW IS A YOUNG GEORGE GASCOIGNE, A THORNABY LAD WHO LATER PLAYED FOR SOUTH BANK JUNIORS & HEAD WRIGHTSON.
Is Brian Walker of Fishburn in any of the photos of the Stockton Ex-Schoolboys teams along with his ex-teammates Trevor Cockerell & Terry Garbutt? He is mentioned elsewhere on the site.

Hi Terry Garbutt, I think you are correct in your statement about the Stockton Ancients teams, nice to hear from you after all the years when we were at Stockton AFC. Where are you in Australia and what is your e-mail address
