St Francis School - footballers, 1957

Recollections

Andrew Gilligan

West Edinburgh

Thank you to Andrew Gilligan for sending me the photo of his large class at St Francis' School above, and a photo of his football team at St Francis' School, also taken in 1957, together with the names of the pupils in these two photos.

I'm very impressed that Andrew has been able to remember so many of the pupils' names after almost 60 years!

The Photo

"I've had an interesting time reading the recollections of Niddrie where I grew up. I attended St Francis School from 1950 to 1957. Here is of my class, taken in 1957.

These are the pupils in this photo are (left to right). It would be interesting to know where everyone else in the photo is now, and what they are doing these days. I would assume that they are all retired by now."
