Peel Park old team pics

[Stanleymad]

Just been given permission to share these pics on here, by my good friend from the ASfc exhibition Dave Cocker, (son of the late Les Cocker). Thought it would be fab to put in here on trip down memory lane, and besides I'm a nipper so relying on fellow supporter past peel Parker's.

There's two pictures from the 1950's of ASfc team at Peel Park before travelling to an away match. Can you name the players in the photos?

From memory, which is now starting to play tricks, we think we have the back row in the group worked out.
One, but maybe three in the front row.
Two out of three in the first photo

What's most amazing is that the sun is shining in the 'team' photo!
Should be able to pinpoint the exact day from that.

Here is as far as we can get from memory:-

Team Photo
Back left to right
George Stewart, Jimmy Harrower, Bob McNichol, Armour Ashe(behind McNichol), Willie McInnis, Charlie Sneddon
Front row
Only 2,Jim Mulkerrin(second left,) Les Cocker (far right)

Small photo:-
Les Cocker, Harold Bodle,( we think) Armour Ashe

[ossy kid]

Small photo is, Les Cocker, Harold Bodle and Armour Ash.
The large photo left to right are- George Stewart, ? ,Jimmie Harrower,Jimmie Mulkerin, Bob McNichol,Armour Ash, ? ,Willie McInnes,Eddie Hunter,Charlie Sneddon, Les Cocker.
The two question marks could be, first, wearing the hat, Norrie McReady and the second in the middle of the photo either Willie Miller or Jimmie Anders. Year 1955/6 or 56/7

I think we could agree with you on Eddie Hunter next to Jimmy Anders but not sure on McCredie with the hat on

Just got home from me Hols....
Yes the chap front left with the hat is very likely to be Norrie McCredie.
I lived on the estate at Within Grove as a boy when the Scottish influx of players signed on by Walter Galbraith were all found houses there. I went to school with Norrie McCredie junior and knocked about with most of the players kids...happy days...

Just looked again and it stikes me how similar James Beatty's hair style is to the players of the fifties !

Pleased you like the pics, have quite a few old original Press Pics I have only scanned recently, on team photo I still remember Stewart, Ashe & Sneddon, reckon photo is 1956/57 and I would have been age 5 or so! started watching football early, will send rest via Mel to post up pics as I dont know how to do it!
