Re E319
some of the facebook comments:
Jay Whitaker: Grandad back row second left, lost him last year love this pic cheers whoever put it up!! Becky ‘Doore’ Pollhammer.
Rachel O’Connor: Some of the Guiseley names are Mick Stocks, John Whitaker and John France. Among the D P and E faces I recognise are George Fordham, Roger Wilkinson, Jonny Hunt, Jim Inman, Nipper Pullan, Ronnie Daykin, Dave Sturgeon. I will check them out with my cousin who is in the picture. These Wharfedale Challenge Cup clashes between Guiseley and D P and E were immense battles.
Tommy Broadwell: Back row second on the left Eddie Glaister Guiseley AFC goal keeper.
Hilary Arundale: Front row 2nd from left is Alan Devanney.
Graham Braithwaite: I think I’m right in saying that it was somewhere around this time that Guiseley won the Wharfedale Cup 9 years in succession, and the Wharedale FA ‘suggested’ they might like to give someone else a chance to win it by dropping out for a little while or playing the reserve team in it instead. I seem to remember Guiseley beating Burley Trojans 10-0 in the semi-final, and that must have hastened the ‘suggestion’ somewhat!
Louise Ginog-Rowling: My great uncle John (Whitaker) is knelt on the far right just behind the front row. Jay Whitaker, you have a reet look of him.
Rachel O’Connor: Alan Knowles also on D P and E team.
Rick Hartley: Dawson Payne Elliot.
Rachel O’Connor: Trying to put it in some sort of order: Back row, left to right – unknown, Eddie Glaister, unknown, Jim Inman, John ‘Nipper’ Pullan, unknown, Dave Sturgeon?, John France, unknown
Middle, left to right – George Fordham, Jonny Hunt, Roger Wilkinson, Ronnie Daykin, unknown, Alan Knowles.
Front, left to right – Unknown, Alan Devanney, unknown, Colin Farrell?, Mick Stocks, unknown, John Whitaker. Guiseley won the final making it 3 years in a row and they went on to stretch that to 8 years in a row. The referee for the 1963 final was T Crombie.
Louise Ginog-Rowling: Jay sorry I didn’t recognize your grandad, well I didn’t look at all the other ppl really once I saw John. Do you think grandad Eric will be on this pic too? I can barely remember what he looked like?
Louise Ginog-Rowling I haven’t seen uncle John for a while. He had a stroke a few years ago and ended up in a wheelchair, as far as I know he’s still with us.
Graham Braithwaite: Are Mick Stocks and John Whitaker still alive? And didn’t John Mahoney play for DP&E around this time?
Re J487
Jeannie Cutlan: My grandfather, Ned Brayshaw, was a founder member of Guiseley AFC. He maintained a close relationship with the club right up until his death in 1966.
Andy Elx Brown: Thomas Harvey, Cam Butterfield, Si Wintle, Adam Bridson, Rob Jennings. Looks like an early to mid 70’s side to me. I remember watching them during the 70’s when Leeds were away.
Rachel O’Connor: John Hall is second from left on back row. First left is former Guiseley captain Phil Barlow and the G K in the middle of the back row is Neil McGeechan. On the far right of the back row is the well-known local cricketer Marsden Claughton. I remember a game once being held up while they searched for his contact lenses. I know someone who will know all the names but they are on holiday at the moment.
Re E344
Rick Hartley: Circa 1980, Terry Rocket front row 2nd in from right.
Stephen Walker: Didn’t Terry Rocket play for Baildon athletic on a Sunday?
Rick Hartley: Yeah, I think he may have pal hard man from memory right or left back.
Rachel O’Connor: Terry started out with the junior team I used to run back in the late 1960s Burley Rovers along with his brother Bob and the likes of Keith Urquhart, Ray Hawksby, John Dibb etc.
Mark Firth: Bob Lawson back row far right.
Debbie Staveley: Joe McPhee will know them all he played with them at the same time I remember the manager was a lecturer at Carnegie and the lad at the back middle had a little girl called Heidi!!
Tricia Richardson: Back far right is Bob Lawson.
Dave Fell: Back row 6 from left looks like Steve Ross.
