Top Row, 2nd right is my old school teacher Walter "Knocker" Norris, Top Row 1st right is Gerry Helme. I think the Bottom Row, 1st right is Les "Cowboy" Jones who used to be a neighbour of my parents, but not sure. I haven`t a clue of the venue, it might be Wilderspool before it was developed?

Also just noticed Top Row in the Middle is Dave Cotton Snr.

Top row middle Dave Cotton?

It's hard to believe that these people were only in their 20s. They mostly look like 50 year olds.

I'll take a flyer on the stadium and say Maine Road.

Walter Norris ,good teacher & good schoolboys coach for the town.

Is that Bevan ,front far right ?

2nd right on the front row is, I think H. (Harry?) Jones. To the right of him does look like Bevan, with hair and teeth at that young age. Front row 2nd from left is George Taylor, that much I do know
