Does your club have a historical society?

I'm looking for information about the 1955/56 season. My grandad played for Shels that year and I'm looking to make something.

Pictures, newspaper cuttings, programs and the like would be helpful.

Anything really would be helpful

Contact the club themselves, should put you in the right direction? Landon is the only Shels "fanatic" on here and all he does is sit on a bus all day telling people how draws should be illegal

Sad to hear. A former hoop too and one of the few players to play domestically, the UK, Mainland Europe, the US and be capped Clap

RIP

A cut above the rest, he could have scored many, many more. He had so many close shaves, regularly clipping the crossbar. He was famous for his scissors kicks I believe and scored some great curlers
