My thanks to Les Lunt who has given me all the names of the football team: "The photo is taken in 1947. My brother Alan, (Alan Lunt who was a pal of Len Rossiter... both went to Liverpool Collegiate) is on the extreme right of the photo." The names are:

It is taken from a book of Congratulatory messages from all her estate workers and their families for her birthday and is seldom seen as the book is now becoming fragile.

14 - PCC of 1916:

There is a note on the back of this photograph -'Richard Leadbetter top row is Aunt Maggie's son, two sisters married two brothers. Aunt Maggie must have been a Leadbetter so I am making the assumption that these names were written by a Leadbetter too. (See more details below)
