Ditchling Road School

Sports Team photographs 1957-1959

By John Horn

Unfortunately not all the photographs had the time line noted on the back, but one football team was noted as the 1958/59 season.

If my memory serves me correctly the other football team photograph was taken at Dyke Road Park, maybe a season earlier by the difference of our appearance and hair style. The other team photographs were obviously taken in the school hall and out-door play area.

In the 58/59 football team the player holding the ball is John Moore, and back row far left looks very much like Neil Hargreaves. John Moore is again hogging the ball in the 57/58 team.

I've just recognised two members of the Track and Field team from 1957. The girl in the middle of the third row back is one of the identical Coles twins - either Carol or Susan. In the same row, second from the right is Colin Burtenshaw.

In the football team 1957/58 far left kneeling is Trevor Goble, siitting on the football Timothy Marsh. Football team 1958/59 back row 2nd left Trevor Goble, back row last right Timothy Marsh, middle row sitting down Jonathon? Track and field 1957 top right - Trevor Goble, third row left sitting Anne Spence. I had most of these photos in my drawer for years and years, and I had written all of the names on the reverse side when I was their age, as they were all in my class, but do you think I can find them? But I suppose it is a lifetime and thousands of miles away.

Yes of course. 1957 track and field, Michael Stringer third row back, extreme left. My sister fancied him.

In the 1957/58 football photo is that Brian Laycock, far left standing and Barry Furlong, far right in the front?
