Tony Jones, school archivist, has found this photo of Mr Craddock with a junior cricket team. Otherwise there we have no information about the year or the team. If you can cast light on any of the team members, or suggest a likely date we would be most grateful. All discussion welcome! You can see Craddock's obituary by looking up his profile on this site.

Alec Parley writes: This is the Under 14's of 1957. My memory amazes me in that I can provide all the names (I think). From the back row left to right: Vic Dodds, Roger Rufey, ? Powell, Alec Parley, Michael Stewart, R. Cordier. seated: Alan Cook, Ian Cooke, Peter Barker, ? Berkeley, Bob Wright in front: Phil Harkne(tt?) Kevin Clemens

Astounding eh! All the way from Toronto and the memory lingers on. Mind you I can't remember what I did yesterday. The brilliant Ian Cooke left after the 5th form and starred at football for Wimbledon. I believe that he scored against Arsenal in the cup and was by far their best player before they entered the league.

Michael Stewart writes: You may by now have heard from others and have a complete picture, but in case not, the missing first names from Alec Parley's information are as follows: ADRIAN Powell (3rd from left in back row), ROGER Cordier (6th in back row) and RAY Berkeley (4th in front row).

Discuss:
Who are they all, and when was the photo taken. All ideas welcome
