THIS week’s first delve into The Bolton News picture archives has unearthed this photo of Atherton Town from February 1996. The little information with the picture just names manager Harold Crilly and his assistant Geoff Mannion as being on the photograph. Do you recognise any of the players or are you in the line-up? Do you know how the side fared that season? Email david.pye@nqnw.co.uk with any memories.

THE second archive photograph selected for this week’s sporting nostalgia section features Farmers Arms and was taken in April 1996. There is no other information with the picture. Can you help out with any details? Do you remember that team or do you recognise any faces in the line-up? Email david.pye@nqnw.co.uk with any memories.
