1st Team - LAL Cup & Division 2 Champions 1971 - 1972

Sadly we've not located a team photo for this Double Winning team, can you help ?

All that has been found is this (poor quality - sorry) newspaper cutting, which was part of a report about a charity type friendly game between Broughton and a Tommy Thompson All Star XI played at PNE's training ground, Willow Farm, sometime during the 1971-72 season. The picture includes most of the Double Winning squad in a match that saw Broughton win 4 - 1 against a team of ex-professionals.
