Football Awards ~ 1972

[Michael Alexander]

Ok! Old Timers, lets add the names to the folk...... This is the town football team from 1972.....

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

This ones for you Ricky.

[Ricky Barron (RIP)]

Too true Diana, I remember it vividly (some of the old timers can sort of remember, Michael), half of the team had passed out by the time this pic was taken! But I'll give you guys a chance before answering. I can name 6 or 7, but the guy 2nd from the right in the front row has got me stumped!

[Mike Voden (RIP)]

Hi Ricky,

Sylvia & Gilbert Kermis visited us yesterday and I know Gilbert was involved for many years with the football club, so asked him if he knew any of the team members. He thinks he is right with five of the team but not sure of the others. It will be interesting if his names are the same as yours. Maybe I should send you a PM, just to confer......

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Well I've got you Ricky. Isn't the guy next to you Robbie Shuster and Roy Fields front left. The guy on the far right....I know who he is but like hell can get his name.  I could cheat and get all the names from Stephen.

[Ricky Barron (RIP)]

Not so fast Diana, you're correct with Robbie and "Uncle Roy", and the fellow on the far right is Derek Moore (husband of the "foxy" Molly), an Engineer I believe, who moved on to one of the mines in Botswana and eventually became the General Manager. But the guy 2nd from the right in the front row......I don't mind if you cheat....ask Stephen!!
Mike V - no problem, let's see what you've got... get hold of me at info@perfectpartners.org.za

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Derek Moore, yes thats who I had in mind. Will get Stephen to look at the other fellow to-morrow.

[Richard Opperman]

Right...Ricky, Robbie, Derek Moore (saw at Fories Cape Town 3 months ago) Roy Fields and other side of cup Kenny Aiken (passed away this year)
