Footballers names wanted from the 1960s please

Posted by Norman on 11/2/2025, 11:19 am

As you can see Ive got names for a few of the lads but need the others before it's too late.
I think 'E' is board regular John Shearer's late brother Alex but need to confirm it. I think 'H' is Stan Stevenson/Stephenson but need it confirmed. Also what Team are they?

D Is indeed John Diamond John was in my class at Clegwell great footballer sadly John died in January RIP.
E is l am pretty sure is not John Shearers brother Alick Alick played for Hebburn Prince Consort in 1959-60 l have a team photo and it makes me think Norman it is not Alick.
I,am sure John Shearer will put us right.

Tom, I was so sorry to read John Diamond had died. I remember him and his sisters and parents. He had a lovely kind and thoughtful wife , Molly.
