Who wears short shorts?

The answer, in this case, is a 1970s football team. They are probably late 1970s and could be early 1980s.

Here they are.

Football team, probably of the late 1970s. Presumed to be a Lavington team - can you help us to identify them?

Sadly, we know nothing about the team. Peggy Gye, our museum founder, donated the photo but it is only captioned, ‘coloured photo of football team with cup’. Coming from Peggy, we assume it is a local team.

Here’s hoping somebody out there can tell us more about this team which seems to feature a number of players with Kevin Keegan like hair-dos.

If you can tell us more then do get in touch. If not then just enjoy (or laugh at) the way fashion was a generation ago.

    The museum curator has just received this information about the players:

    I have just found this photo on your website and am sure that on the back row, fourth from the right is Michael Arnold. I’m not as sure that on the back row, second from the left could be Russell Young. As far as I can remember, they were both from the Tilshead area.

    Thank you, Peter
