Back Row L to r Reg Tilt, ?, Chris Gillard, Frank May, Dave Tucker, ? John Gillard, Bill Webber, Seated ?, ? John Dodds, ? Mike Radford is the best so far.
Frank May was on Citys books but never progressed very far. He did however serve a number of top amateur teams (Not Sunday League!) A very capable keeper; sadly no longer with us.Frank May was the goalkeeper.
CB, this is the 1960-61 team. I played in 1961-62. Financial constraints meant that the club was reorganized in 61-62 and only ran a reserve team, headed by Reg Tilt. I obviously recognize a few of the well known names here but all these players had left in 61-62 with the exception of Johnnie Dodds. Sorry but I don't recognize any with question marks.Hi folks,
