I used to drink with a fella who’s uncle (Beaumont summat,,,,,,) played for the reds, and ran greyhound’s. I can’t remember the full story, but he was from Crigglestone…. He was at Man U. But never made it.

Not sure Jules but Frank Beaumont played for us in the early sixties & he was a local lad , could it be him you are thinking about ?

It could well be Beaumont Asquith ? Born in Painthorpe/Crigglestone area , Frank Beaumont was a favourite of mine Shads , we had some good forwards around that Era , Ken Oliver, Frank Bartlett to name a few ,

Frank was still playing for Woolley Colliery when I started there as a young un. He was a good bloke. I seem to recall a player called Oliver, it might have been Ken but Harry Hough, Malcolm Lang, John Stainsby and Colin Grainger (played for England) were at the club in those days.

All were nice guys.

Later on when I was a veteran I remember playing against Franks son, Mark?, and had a chat with him about his Dad.

Good days them, Id have them back in a flash.

Some good memories there Roma & I would throw in Billy Houghton who would be playing alongside Tindall , Oliver ,Beaumont & Bartlett also as I type another from that era has come into my noggin & that was Ron Smylie if I have spelt his name right. Happy days !!

I think Malc Lang had the post office at Cudworth. I seem to recall him been dropped off there after away trips. I remember Stainsby at The Boatmans but I didnt know his son.

Beaumont Asquith it would be. As his relation was called Asquith. I should have twigged. I was drinking in the Lord Nelson at the time
