1940s Fun Football on the Green Houghton Regis (2)

Sometime in the 1940s there was a fun football match on the Green - the adults v the local "nippers". The adult's team was:

Mr Bob Smith. Mr Fred Cook, Mr Foulkes, Mr Ted Todd, Mr Williams, My H Bandy (goalkeeper), Mr Arthur Wallace, Mr Ron Pemberton

Mr Perce Meacham, Mr Hamilton and Archie Wallace

The adult's team arrived in Mr Reg Green's horse-drawn cart, driven by Mr Albert Gadsden.

The opponents were local youngsters, but who were they?

A good time was evidently had by all.

In the background is the old Thomas Whitehead school building.
