Any board members in this team photo?

Post by cadoganman »

This is a photo of a successful Saltcoats United under 18 team from about 1968. They won the the local under 18 league and league cup that year. The team was started by Tommy Brady of Saltcoats and Tommy Lafferty of Stevenston both sadly passed. Reuben Glen was the cold sponge man. There are I believe 10 Saltcoats, 4 Stevenston and 1 Ardrossan man in the picture. I'll post the ones I can remember after the weekend, meanwhile have a guess.

Since posting this picture I've since been informed that Pat died a few years ago. For as long as I can remember before I left saltcoats I always new him to stay in the flats at Quay St. Saltcoats. Good footballer.

Think it must be the same Pat Houston, just spoke to my sister who said he died a few years ago. He was a neighbour of ours, took me to my first Scotland game when I was a wean. Didn't know he had passed away.
