hobbinfootju   10 #1 Posted May 13, 2014 Anyone remember a football team called Colley Young Socialists from the 60s / 70s they played in the park on Remington Road Parson Cross. I played for them and so did my brother I would be interested to see if anyone remembers the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Sorrycolley   10 #2 Posted December 30, 2017 Yes, I remember that team well and the two brothers too  The older brother was a very canny player, I’d bet money on the fact that he went on to play at a higher level as he was class...  The younger brother was a bit of a fop really and held himself in high esteem, that his feet didn’t live up to.  I hope that isn’t you or my memories will be getting off to a bad start...but I’m gambling on the fact that the younger lad wasn’t that sharp, and you can obviously drive one of these new computers  Kev, or Keith Jackson was a classy goal scoring centre forward and could convert some of the quality crosses coming in from the older brother..those two were the backbone of the team  What were your names? I seem to recall that you had an odd surname but it won’t come to me and I’ve been trying to remember for days  Would be great to catch up some more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hobbinfootju   10 #4 Posted March 21, 2018 Hello Laurdys  How do I get to see the photograph thanks for the reply  ---------- Post added 01-04-2018 at 16:24 ----------  Hello Just thought I would reply mainly to SORRYCOLLY. I little unfair on me, me being Stewart Crapper Harry Crapper was my oldest brother. When I played for colley y s I was only 16 years old and I was playing against mature men I think I held my own when I played for Colley. I don't know who you are so I cant give and credence to your unkind remarks against me. Well I went on to be on Wednesdays books train with the youth team for Sheff Wed for 2 years. Unfortunely I wasn't good enough and I had one eye on the ladies and the other on a beer glass. I played until I was 55 years old in the local leagues to a decent level but I had to have a hip operation so the end of my football days. Do you remember these Colley players.  []ALF HOWFORD, PETE HERRIN, DAVE BRIGGS, BRIAN SHARPE, LIAM GRAYSON, WAM/ WAGSTAFFE, BRIAN FLETCHER, GEORGE GLAVES, []That's about all I can remember at kid might fill in some gaps.  Stewart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
