WE NOW know the names of all the Blackbirds’ team which carried off the Sunday League Under-11 Cup with a 2-0 victory over Marston Saints at the Manor Ground, Headington, in 1971.

As we recalled (Memory Lane, August 3), the team was run by Ken Harper, who was not only manager but drove the team bus, raised money, organised training and even washed the ball. He ran Blackbirds’ teams for more than 21 years.

The line-up was, back, from left: Martin Gherken, Malcolm Tucker, Kieran McKay, Michael Harwood, Ian Gibson, Grant Slattery.

Front: Tim Walker, Duncan Creighton, Alan Marshall, David Jacobs, Jimmy Hulbert, Mark Lismore.
