The bloke in the Pig shirt just thinks they are all chasing him.

Character building TT,what about the pitch at Woodhouse rec,I can remember watching Woodhouse Ashberry playing on that,the players used to get changed round the back of the George and walk down,then playing on it many timesin the Sunday league

That was just behind where I lived just off Station road.A longer walk to get to it than the yards covered in a game!

Our favoured pitch was the one across from the Brunswick which was at least flat but had more ruts than a ploughed field. There's a school on it now. Mother still lives on Goathland Road.

Are you sure that's not a photo of the most of this forum users doing their school crosscountry in the 1900's.....


Runs thataway>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Cheeky git, 1900’s!!

Most on this forum weren’t doing their school cross country running till the 1920’s at the very earliest...well apart from Rod maybe. Rumour has it that he jogged daily with Lord Kitchener and was the brains behind the famous recruitment poster.

Brunswick was our school pitch when I was at Woodhouse County,top half was a smashing pitch,bottom half just a quagmire there was a pond at the side of the pitch can you remember that?

Left to right: Hockey, Ford, Ken Wood, no idea, Barlow, Flynn?, Salmons, could be one or two who had that sort of silly haircut - possibly John Hope, no idea about the “owls shirt”, Colquhoun, Speight, Powell, Badger, can’t see the last two clear enough to have a guess.

I think the bloke in't white shirt at the front is Alan Ogden,i remember him startin at Anfield in 1972,we played just Warboys up front and got battered 5-0.UTCB

I certainly do, always used the top goals as that half was much better. Used for school sports days as well. I was at Woodhouse West, just above the Brunswick with Anderson's shop opposite.

What years were you there? i would be early 60's going to City GS in 1964
