 1956 - 1958 Bill Barkess's Recollections  

 

Bill Barkess was a member of the team for several years in the 50's/'60s. He has supplied the following information  for the team of 1956 to 1958:
Jim Gregson,  Goalkeeper Over 6 feet tall, commanded his area and had a great pair of hands, very good at his job.

 
Stan Waters,  Right Winger. Stan was very fast and tricky olso a great striker of the ball. Defenders hated to play against him.

 
Bill Barkess,  Left half. 
The team regarded me as the hard man ,anyone who wanted sorted they gave him to me.
Blowing my own trumpet,I could play a bit and scored a lot of goals for a half back.
 
The Smiths There were also three brothers who played the season before I joined the club The Smiths.  Leo was left half. Paul was right winger who was at the club before Stan Waters arrived.  Jerry who was a strong centre half who was in the side before Alan Lax joined the club.It must be some sort of record three brothers playing in the same side? 

[Note: the three Mason brothers, Cliff, Eddie and Barry also played together for Seaham Wednesday in the '60s.] 

We used to hold our meetings in the Golden Lion next to the Theatre Royal on a Monday/ Tuesday evening where the selection committee, 
chaired by CUD Trainer,  picked the side. THEY WERE VERY LIVELY MEETINGS.
