County Players 1920-1945
Lancashire Schools' FA County representative players 1945-1920
This final (or first depending on which way you look at it) section of the roll of honour goes back to the very beginnings of Lancashire SFA.
This list also includes boys from districts in Lancashire selected for the English SFA side before the formation of Lancashire SFA in 1920. Also some players from Grammar SChools represented ESFA though did not take part in County competition. Both groups of players are marked with an asterisk.
Once again several players are referred to only by surname or surname with an initial. Anyone able to supply details can contact any member of the Council and the lists will be updated/amended.
The Second World War meant that there was no Inter-County football from 1939 to 1946 and after this period even then the immediate records are incomplete. There are indications of inter-school games played and of players after 1945 achieving international honours, but inevitably some players representing Lancashire will be omitted. The LSFA records for county selection stop at the 1938-9 season and begin again in the 1947-8 season. Research in local papers may fill in some of the gaps. If anyone has any records of county football in the period 1938-39 and the early 1940s, we would be grateful to hear from you.
