More than 70 players wore the well known shirts of the Old Boys during the
lifespan of the club and it takes some organisation to run two prominent
teams in so many competitions for so many years.
This is perhaps one of the key elements of the clubs success. Success
on the pitch was matched and supported by efficiency and enthusiasm off
it. Here, we look at some of the unsung heroes....

Groundsman...
Of course, in those days, "Church Street" was a
wonderful swathe of springy, emerald turf. It included five pitches of
varying sizes and two cricket squares. On the southern edge, there were
concrete changing rooms and a brick toilet block.
The best pitch was located adjacent to those changing
rooms and close to the Church Street roadway. For some years, the Old Boys
commanded sole weekend use of those facilities and the facilites were kept
in excellent condition by a character so many people will remember. John
Wraight pays tribute....

One thing I would like to mention relates to the groundsman
at Church Street - Mr. Munday. He was there for years and always
had a perfect pitch for us week after week.
