Hi, I’ve been trying to contact your Dad for years. I’m his mate from ICI apprentice days. Kevin Brookes , if you email the team at pictures@stockton.gov.uk they will be able to forward my email address on to you.
Would love to catch up with him again.
Good afternoon Kevin, I have emailed over asking for your email to be forwarded on to myself. Thanks mate. Sure my dad will be please to hear from you 👍🏻

Peter Aldridge played for a few Northern League teams, he was the brother-in-law of another good local goalscorer Bob (Yuker) Purcifer. Kev Beesley is the brother of Colin who was at Sunderland.
A nice background picture of Swainby Road…
With the help of Paul Denham I can name all but two players. Back Row L-R, Peter Aldridge, ??, Peter Laverick, Chris Cooper, G Neil, N Fawden, Paul Denham, Don Aldridge.
Front L-R, Jock Mcglaughlan, ??, Keith Wright, Jeff Marr, Keith Aldridge, Kevin Beasley
Derek the one on the back row is Craig Higgins who is now involved with Stockton Town.
Couple of dodgy ‘taches… back row L-R are Peter Aldridge, Craig Higgins, Phil Laverick, Chris Cooper, Gary Neal, Nigel Fawdon, Paul Denham, Don (it’s the same team as last week except for…)Aldridge.
Front row L-R Tommy Mclaughlin, Dave Wilkinson, Keith Wright, Jeff Marr, Keith Aldridge, Kevin Beesley.
Don Aldridge was one of the good guys in local football, win or lose he always conducted himself properly, even shaking the referee’s hand after a game Jeff. Nigel Fawdon was one of Brian Fawdon’s ( the old Primrose Hill captain) twin sons.
Went on to be a referee, eh Jeff?
Mick Maroney of Templar Street, Cuthbert’s. Bede’s (you may remember your dad worked on my mam’s house after my dad died).
The lad with ball looks like Geoff Marr who went on to be a referee after he finished playing
