I need to find some information about Worsbrough Bridge FC for a presentation at Uni. Anyone got any ideas where I could find information on club history,players etc? Cheers!
The Barnsley FA may be able to help.They have records. There is also a small book in the library which is the Barnsley FA Centenary book. There are lists in it of who won the various cups from the late 1800's.
Hi,dont know where you are,but if you are close to the RED LION,you might find some info there,they have been around for a long time W/Bridge......
Can't remember the new name but it isn't The Red Lion anymore. Spent quite a bit of my misspent youth in the old Red Lion.
Now thats what i call INFORMATION. well done Sir, i raise my can to you i played against the bridge for Rockingham ,many years ago we Lost 4 2...stil hurts..the b***888
that's good... just before that period (sixies) they were in the the Sheffield and Hallamshire League. Not sure when they started but I suspect it is a long time ago. Get Spartacus to talk to his workmate, Doug Wright, who played for them and is a member of the Wright family that did everything for the Brig at that time. Fred Wright was also a councillor and maybe mayor. Great club....... Up The Reds... Up the Brig
well done mick..you know back when i was a lad,you had no need to go to oakwell,,,,,Bidweel Rovers,v Worsboro bridhe,or Worsboro dale st thomas,Hoyland law, great games i would never have missed,shipcroft united ,Jump home Guard,,,,,,,those were the days.....
Jump Home Guard Now I've never heard of them before now. But I would love to be associated with a team called 'Jump Home Guard'.. (don't panic chaps)
Cheers for that mate! Been searching all over the Net for information with no such luck! http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZgarsbfcQQhtZ-1
matchday programmes contain a potted history , cup wins etc. Why not go to a match and speak to one of the backroom people. your best bet would be the Wright family, been involved for decades.
RE: Jump Home Guard Oh My Oh my Mick,get thee sen off darn to Jump,first they were Jump Home guard..then they changed to Jump united They were the Manu,Arsenal,Liverpool,all into one, Shipcroft United,well thier First team were playing Hoyland Common athletic,the second team were playing at Rockingham,there was snow on the ground, i was going to watch the first team,and had to pas Rocking ham pitch on the way......some one saw me,Rockingham were a man short,so i played for Rockingham,in the snow in my Bloody Shoes....played for Blackerhill Rovers against Jump in the Beckett cup,we were in the Nelson League ,jump were cup winners and Champs, they beat us with a struggle 2-1.but the Jump crowd i thought they were going to kill us,Football,ill talk about footy all day.....Come on Birdwell Rovers..........
RE: Shipcroft United there was another good team from Wombwell MINERS UNITED, Birdwell Rovers who atthat time were very good beat them 7 2 .and the supporters were actully crying,and dare not go back home...True i tell you, i think Birdwell won both cups that year.........at one time PILLEY had a very Good team,,,saw some right games with them,,,,in the 1940,syou never knew who who you were playing against,might have been Stam matthews,,,or some one like ,pro footballers in the Army....eee by gum..
