THIS week we are harking back to the 1950s and two pictures brought into The Bolton News office by reader George Smedley.

The first photograph is of George and his team-mates in the YMCA boys' side of 1955.

The line-up is, back, from left, Kenny Gaskell, Charlie Cooper, Cyril Wallwork, Geoff Lane, Graham Bailey, George Bell; front, Jimmy Nichol, Albert Ramsden, Dave Kaufman, George, Brian Swift, Michael Howe and Charles Cooper, who went on to play for Wanderers.

Also in the squad, but not pictured, was another future Wanderer, Ray Forrest.

Did you play for – or against – the YMCA side?

Or do you recognise anyone in the line-up?

Email david.pye@nqnw.co.uk with your memories.

The second picture submitted by George is of the Richard Hough works team and was taken in 1957.

George is pictured fifth from the left on the back row alongside, from left, Jimmy McCarthy, Ken Gaskell, Hugh McConnie and Derek Haslam.

Did you play in the team, or can you fill in the missing names?
