Our Coach that season was Frank Rawcliffe and we featured a Nigerian full back, Experience Ottun, who we signed after he played under the experimental Holly Park lights when South hosted a Nigerian XI the previous season, Wednesday 28th September 1949. 

Thanks to George Cole, now of Lincolnshire formerly a Woolton Road ender, who spotted our error with Ted Davies - now corrected.

Happy also to mention Ted (also known as Ed) is now in his 80's and resident still in the South end in Hunts Cross and our best wishes go to our former player.

Christmas Dinner was hosted by South Director Mr J Wadsworth

It also featured a toast from R A (Arthur) Joynson who was an integral founder of our re-formed club in March 1935.  Also included is a "bumper toast" to long serving keeper Arthur Franks.

Pictured at Longton near Preston September 1957

Our first and probably oldest shot of a supporters club gathering. This was a trip to the Lancaster Town away game which we lost 4-2 and returned home via the Lights in Blackpool. Thanks to Chairman John Whittingham for supplying this cracking piece of memorabilia.
