Ian Pethick Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Found this absolute gem while killing the many lockdown hours. In John Dent, Ron Swiggs, Tony Hughes, Dave Pook, Roy Carter and Paul Horrocks I have identified several players who had notable careers with South Western and Western League clubs, but does anybody have the full line up? Would I also be correct in saying that the Alan Krac featured is Shane's Dad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bray Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Liked the hair styles and the flairs, reminded me of the time when I had hair. Seriously though you need to speak to someone at Torpoint Athletic, I can recall Phil Cardew telling me about the time the Dockyard Apprentices went to Wembley.

David Bray Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Can anyone shed any light on just who played for the so called China Clay Aprentices X1. Would have thought the majority were registered for either Nanpean, Foxhole or St.Dennis, as a load of good players in the early 70's worked at Drinnick.

Dave Deacon Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 It was certainly intended but somehow never really materialised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
