YouthTeam_zpshw4bacmv.jpgD

 

This is our Youth Team in 1967, possibly one of our best in terms of players coming through. All except one ,McCauley, went on to play in at least one first team match and Blair Robins, and Hoolickin (Steve) had pretty good careers with League clubs over a long period of time.  Fitton played over 300 matches for Mossley too. The group was a mixture of local lads and several "raided" from Irish junior teams as part of the influx under Jimmy McIlroy. In a way not too dissimlar from the manner in which some clubs nowadays sign lots of youngsters from overseas or at least a good distance away.

Back Row: B McCauley, G Schofield, J Fitton, I Robins, R Smith, S Hoolickin, B Aitken

Front Row: R Blair,J Makin, A Doyle, N Quinn, M Nolan
