West End Football Club – 1944/45

I think this photograph might be from the West End Football club? My dad Barry Dumble is the lad with the cup next to the lad with the ball. Indicated on the ball is the year 1944-1945.

  1. I must correct myself. This is the West End Minors’ team of that season.
    Back row: Ken Holligan, A Outhwaite, Reg Furphy, Rex Hazelton, John Gill, C Clements, A Ridge.
    Front Row: Harry Emmerson – team manager, Jack Thomas, Barry Dumble, Matt Wells (Secretary), B Lee (Chairman), T Wells (trainer), Ron Snowden, Brian Booth, K Wilkinson (committee).
    In the past there was another photo on the archive of West End Junior and Minor teams plus the 3 young lady supporters. It was taken on the same day I believe. I have a copy with all the names on. If the past one has not turned up I will send mine in if desired.
