Bit of a long shot this, Charlie Sneddon played for Stanley between 1953 and 1962, his granddaughters would very much like any photos of him in action if anyone has any . Please pm me on here.

David Barnett May know what happened to Jeff's pics but, other than to left of the goal at the Clayton End, I don't know where to find David.

He is on this team photo form 60/61 season, I think.

Sounds very likely. He and Jeff did used to get to a lot of away games in Jeff's car.

Charlie was bald at a very young age. He must have been in his 20s when Galbraith bought him. A classy player

Good pic, but I would say it's more like 1956.

Way i see it in 59 Bert Scott left fer Wrexham in 55 John Ryden left fer spurs, both joined stanley 54/55 so its between 55 n 59.

Both those lads came down from Alloa n were great mates.

Hubby and i believe the picture was taken at start of 55-56 season. The reason for this is, Jimmy Mason, pictured, only played a handful of games before he lost is place to Jimmy Anders who signed in 56, and for some reason, and we could be wrong, we think that Anders played against Liverpool in Jan.56. Charlie had a bald patch when he signed for Stanley. he was about 23-24. He married a Accrington girl who lived close to Peel Park.

The Observer could be a good bet. Action pictures of Saturdays games taken by Garth Dawson used to be in the following Tuesdays Observer

Pretty certain the team is early 1956-57 season as Bob McNicol and Jimmy Mason only played a few games together during the start of that season. I have the same picture on a bubble gum card.

You could be right ossy kid. We were thinking of linking of Mason/
Anders rather than Mason/McNicol. We can't recall just when McNicol signed, but we are thinking Mason signed in55 but only played maybe a dozen games before he left. It was a long time ago and memories can get distorted.

There is pretty good footage and a quite lengthy interview with him on a "Accrington Stanley - Legend, Myth, Reality" Video I've had since the mid 90's.

Have also managed to transfer it to DVD if it's of any use, I could burn a few extra copies for anyone who wants one.
