“In both cases the goalkeeper is my father, Percy Basham, who always said that he played for Town Street.\u00a0 The earlier picture, with the trees in the background was taken in 1930 or 31, the ball is clearly labelled ‘TSFC 1930-31 – dad said he was 16.\u00a0 Town Street won two shields that season: the Ouse Valley League shield and the Brandon Knock out shield.\u00a0 Brandon Recreational were less successful, playing in the Bury & District league division 2 and ending the season in mid table.\u00a0 This may have been in the field down Small Fen Lane where the Town Street team played for some time before moving to the field opposite the Crown.\u00a0 He said he was 25 in the second picture, which would mean it was around 1939.\u00a0Town Street, played their matches on a field opposite the Crown Public House, in fact it has been said they often took a swift drink to fortify themselves before a match!”<\/p>\n

1922-23 Brandon Rec<\/strong><\/span> (Recreation)<\/strong>, back in the day when managers and coaches wore suit, tie, hats and a rosette.\u00a0 Despite the glum facial expressions on many of the players, this photo looks like it was taken to celebrate the team winning a cup or championship title.<\/p>\n
