Fab ,amazing something to be proud of. Thank you . I hope these type of films should be shown in schools to give teenagers confidence, to have a sense of belonging to have hope that makes you want to achieve .. 👍
U15 English champions. Fabulous team. 1971. Squad - Shields, Saunders, Bradford, Evans, Reid, Pimblett (Capt), Thomas, Walsh, Phillips, McClatchey, Tobin, - Subs. (Jones Gkeeper), Clarke (striker), Henderson. 5 in that squad were from PGS (Prescot). Only Reid (Bolton, Everton etc) and Pimblett (Aston Villa) - (the latter the youngest player and Capt & a great player) - became first team professionals in the English game though Pimblett soon moved to Australia. All great players. I played in the great PGS Side of 1971 which won the Huyton & District trophy, Merseyside Shield, S.W. Lancs trophy and Lancs trophy. We beat Reid's St Augustines 6 -0 in the 1st round & Phillip's St Aloyious 9-1 in the final of the Huyton & District trophy. McClatchey, Thomas, Clarke, Bradford and Jones all played for PGS. Great players too. great days. - Joe.
phil thompson and dennis mortimor from kirkby both lifted european cup. also terry mac. came from there , as good as peter reid was he would not have gotton into liverpools team. also how about south liverpool fc.
He certainly was! He taught physics. What a story he had to tell. He was a professional footballer, became a pilot during the second world war flying catalinas, afterwards continued his professional career and then became a teacher!
I'm Croatian but my family stayed in Huyton during the war (long story) I was v young but we never forgot the love & help & my parents kept contact with freinds for rest of their lives. My dad was taken to Goodison & returned a few times. I support Hajduk but also visited Goodison. I hope to return to Huyton next year - Two dogs I heard of btw 😂
How many years did your dad drive the coach from the Bow and Arrow. My mates and I would get a coach from the Bow to many of the Everton games. It was only coppers. But we always got to the ground in plenty of time, and getting back to the Bow pretty soon after the game was over. There were some great lads on that Coach. Georgie Edge. Kenny Hargreaves and many others from the Princess Drive area.
@@Tony-h7b4p Hi, not sure he drove the coach to the Everton games as he was a season ticket holder and drove as a second job. The name of the firm was Swannels. I remember he drove a fishing group from the pub.
Multiple attempts to contact Frank met with little success following an initial contact. He was indeed the standout player and we would have loved for him to get involved.
What a fantastic story that, and what an achievement

A great video and a reminder of great times. I’m sorry I couldn’t make the get together. Best wishes to all.
Emotional and excellent short story thanks to Mike Reid for letting me know when it was available to watch👍
Well known fact : Best players in Liverpool have ALWAYS come out of Huyton an ALWAYS will👌

Great one 💯🤝
That needs to be a play
2 dogs love it
That team pic, in the thumbnail, has pride of place on Peter Reid's social media profile.
Great times ❤ great memories ❤ great people 🙌🏻🌟🙌🏻
Huyton's always had boss footy players, most went down the wrong path though lol.
I think Eddie kilshaw was my teacher in st columbas on knowsley lane, in the early 80's.
He certainly was! He taught physics. What a story he had to tell. He was a professional footballer, became a pilot during the second world war flying catalinas, afterwards continued his professional career and then became a teacher!
Great subject for a book.
I was 7 years old when my dad took me to the first leg of the final, Huyton were far superior.
❤❤❤
Two Dogs is famous for many reasons.

My dad used to drive the coach picking them up at The Bow and Arrow pub. My twin and I would go on the coach. Happy days!

I forgot, but meant to ask is your name Paul Swannel?.
@@Tony-h7b4pno but the owner of the coach was Mr Swannel
Fantastic achievement 👍
Kirkby had boss players and boxers
But this is about Huyton and Prescot, not Kirkby.
and martial artists frank brennan being one.
Fantastic grew around king George 5th footy pitches.Great memories..
I think the game vs North Kent was played at Dartford FC on a Saturday evening.
Can anyone confirm.
Not a mention of the stand out player on the team no? Bad documentary this 🤦🏼♂️
THE EVERTON LEGEND....PETER REID!!...💙

What relation was he Paddy?
Nice looking kit though not in colour ,looks like red and black 👊
Derek Mc Clatchey.
