This was an outstanding year for Rawdon Littlemoor when they won both cups.

Back row left to right:- Mr Heavysides, Michael Waite, Edwin Broadbent, Michael Hughes, John Lawson, Robin Lock, Geoff Walker, Mr Harry Jones.

Front Row :- Francis Newton, Malcom Pritchard, Bruce Teale (capt.) Terry Brierley, Roger Jones.

My elder brother Bruce moved himself from centre half to centre forward to score a captains goal. I myself played in a few of the earlier games but eventually lost my place to John Lawson.

The father of one of the opposing teams players was so confident of victory that he had cup winners medals made then sadly for him had to give them to the Rawdon players after their victory.

Richard Hayes:

At the very back, fourth from left, Donald Micklethwaite.

Third row 10th from L, Rodney Gregory.Rodney went on to become a ladies hairdresser in Guiseley I think. His Dad had a gents hairdresser’s shop on New Road side opposite the new Littlemoor school.

Second row: From left. 5, Me! Richard Hayes, now living in Cyprus. 6, Michael Emsley. The family owned Emsley’s bakers shop opposite Rawdon Littlemoor.
Behind him is Rodney Whitham, 7, Gordon Longfellow. 8, Stephen ? 9, John Payne, who lived in the very last house on the right at the top of Green Lane.
10, Looks a bit like David Wilson. The family used to live in Harrogate Road in the right house of a pair of semis where a defunct petrol station was sited. Close to the huge bill board before you got to the Stone Trough pub. 12, Pat Ingleson. 14, Judith Merredith 15, Ronnie ? At very far right is Eileen Shannon, I think. Behind her far right I think is Pauline Widdop. I think her dad had a window cleaning business.

Front row: 5, left Anne Croft. The family were Crofts Hauliers in Yeadon.

There are many others I recognise but their names escape me. I do hope others will fill in the blanks. We all looked so happy. None of us knew what was in store for us back then. Happy days!
