County Players 1945-1959
Lancashire Schools FA County Representative Players 1959-1945
This section of the roll of honour for county players goes back from 1959 to the re-establishment of schools' football after the Second World War in 1945. To represent Lancashire in those days was a tremendous achievement as the area stretched from Barrow in the west through to Manchester and its surrounding towns (Salford, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Middleton, Bolton, Wigan etc) down to Liverpool and its belt of towns (Kirby, Knowsley, St Helens, Ormskirk, Southport etc) as well as the heartland of what is now the "new" Lancashire (Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, Nelson and Colne, the Ribble and Rossendale Valley towns) and many smaller rural areas, some now absorbed into larger associations in Lancashire and other counties.. At one time there were over 50 associations with players available for selection for Lancashire. THe History of LSFA (see separate item) charts the changes through the years.
Some players have only initials and/or surname. However, if anyone can recall details I will be happy to amend.
