What Hebburn Team is this

Posted by Norman Dunn on January 7, 2021, 6:57 pm

This photo came to me years and years ago with no decade or team name other than its a Hebburn Team.
It looks like it's now or never to solve this one .

It looks like 1920s or early 1930s, is it worth looking at Durham F.A. site? Especially for cup and shield competitions of the time.

It's Hebburn Reyrolle's FC 1938-39 Tyneside League Champions.

Hello Norman (Dunn),

It's impressive how our shipping aficionado, Peter Cook, named the mystery football team like that.

The following pic (from your collection) shows Reyrolle AFC players and management along with their names:

If my ability at facial recognition can be trusted, then the numbers given to persons on the image above, tally with persons with corresponding numbers on the following images - in other words, the names and numbers shown on the following images are my guess work, as I think they look like persons on the image above:

Reyrolle-Football-Team-Management-1927-with-players

Reyrolle-Football-Team-Management-1927-with-numbers

The 1st pic is dated 1935-36. The last pic is dated 1938-39, yet, there is a full set of medals on both small shields in 1935-36, but 3 medals are missing in 1938-39 - is the chronology of the photographs correct?

Cheers,
Barry.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for helping. Thanks to Peter Cook for recognising its a Reyrolle team.

Well done all, great bit of detective work Peter and deduction work from Barry.

I have just got to say that the lads in that photo would put the fear of gods into the, so-called professional, pansies who kick around what today is little more than an inflated beach-ball.

Liverpool got beat at Sunderland not to long ago Mac with the help of a beach ball.
