Re: Saltcoats Victoria
Thanks for that PT I never saw that before, I know he was in Colchester for a few years I use to carry around
his photo on one of these little cards that boys collect, but last time I saw Charlie he took it back he did not have one.
Charlie turned 80 last month and keeping well as can be expected.. Lovely Big Brother...

Re: Saltcoats Victoria
Hi Sarah,even though he is named in this photo I wouldn't have picked him out . I remember the black curly hair . When he left Winton Tommy Morgan moved from left half to centre half .

Mike/Sarah,
Could he be in one of these photographs then, maybe the third one down?

Re: Saltcoats Victoria
I came across the photo that Mike was referring to in the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald of 2 September 1949. The caption gives the name of everyone in the photo and shows that Mike's recollection was very close.mike mccann wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2010 9:12 am hi Sarah

the players wearing the plain shirts are the first team , so starting at the back here they are left to right :-
Sam Pllu , ( later went to Winton Rovers ) , McGeachie and Ross .
Next row:- O'Rourke (hugh} , Frank Quinn , " Seagull" McKenna , Harry Leckie and Tommy Cairns .
Front row :- Joe Kirk ( captain ) , Gill and Stewart .
The person beside Sam Pllu is " Sparrow " Alexander , and beside Ross is Willie Walton .
Beside Joe Kirk is Eddie Quinn .
Don't recognise the other players . I suppose some of the civvies would be commitee members etc .
Re nicknames , in the fifties , Winton had a great wee centre forward called McEwan and of course his nickname was " Screwtap " !
I have a pic of Winton in the ealrly fifties which I Will dig out an post .
Re: Saltcoats Victoria
O'rourke his first name is Hugh as he is my dad.
