Thank you to Ron Goldie, now living in Peine, Germany, for allowing me to reproduce this photograph, taken by his father of St Mary's school football team. Ron wrote: St Mary's School - Football team "I was the goalkeeper, until we were beaten 21-0 one day. I'm the original 'hide under the bed goalkeeper', whose mother tried to entice me out with a chocky bicky and saying: 'Never mind son, most goalkeepers get beat 21-0 at some time in their career.' Needless to say, I didn't follow a career in football." Ron Goldie, Peine, Germany: 4+5 August, 2009. |

Thank you to George T Smith who added: St Mary's School - Football team "The team is both better looking and better clad than most of that and earlier eras. Clearly the photo was taken after a match and before the bath" George T Smith, Naomi, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada: August 6, 2009 |
