Guest alantoft Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) It's a pity the quality of the pic is so poor. I remember most of the players that played that season but a I'm struggling to recognise them from the pic. Even my hero Ron Springett is not on the pic. The side of 1960/1961 was the best Wednesday side I have ever seen. I know we finished runners up to Spurs in most seasons we would have enough points to have won the championship. If someone out there has a better team photo of the 1960/1961 side could they please post it??. Edited May 30, 2011 by alantoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alantoft Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Google helped me find this one - Bit on the small side but better quality. Thanks for the great pic. Great to see Springett & Swan on the pic. I think the pic is from the is from the previous season 1959/60 because Norman Curtis and Redfern Froggatt are on the pic and both finished at the end of that season.

Guest GrahamHydeFanClub Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 always thought brian hill died of a heart attack but saw somewhere a few weeks ago that said he committed suicide .anybody know . Wikipediea says he commited suicide but in the book 'The Wednesday Boys' it says he was found dead as a result of an enlarged heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggatt didn't play for Wednesday in the 60/61 season. His final game was on the 30th April 1960 which was the 59/60 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 froggat didnt retire till 1962 and played in the reserves that season so it could be him , i know its not a good pic but just dont look like fantham to me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmciverslovechild Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It's definitely not Froggatt or Fantham. Just wondered if it might be Billy Griffin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It's definitely not Froggatt or Fantham. Just wondered if it might be Billy Griffin? no he's 3 from the right front row ..........both me and alantoft agree on that one . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmciverslovechild Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 no he's 3 from the right front row ..........both me and alantoft agree on that one . . Ah yes.....should have read the other posts. Back then you generally had the forwards plus the captain on the front row though Keith Ellis, probably cos he was such a big bugger, always seemed to be at the back. I notice there's no Swanny but Ralph O'Donnell (RIP) is so my guess is that the photo was taken when Swanny was out injured and ROD deputised; sort of mid season. We had a guy called Bobby Lodge played a few games round then so could be him? Just guessing really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
