Nostalgia: Birstall footballers meet their idol
Young footballers from Birstall were in for a treat when their team was congratulated by Leeds United midfielder John Sheridan as they received their end-of-season trophies.
Their efforts were rewarded during a celebration at St Patrick’s Club, Birstall, in 1984.
Howden Clough Junior Football Club had six teams ranging from under-nines to under-14s playing the Garforth and Heavy Woollen Leagues.
All under-nine team players received a certificate for playing for the club, while the older plays received a medal.
