Ealing Road School football team in 1952/53

Mike Hutchinson provided this super team photo.

I am the boy holding the ball. (I'm too embarrassed to tell you I was captain).

I can only remember a few of the boys but hopefully other readers may remember them.

Back Row - Vic Humphries - Brian Carter? - Terry Mayo - ? - ? - Gerald Parsons?

Middle Row - ? - Steven Pearce - Mike Hutchinson - ? - John Holloway.

Front Row - Willy Watson - ?.

I then played for the ABC (Acton, Brentford & Chiswick schools) alongside Alan Powell and Peter Gelson (later of Brentford FC fame). In September 1953 I met up with Alan Powell at Chiswick Grammar School. I understand he later played for the school Old Boys for many years.

I would love to hear from any one who recognised or knew any of us.

Notes
