1940 - West Hartlepool RFC
What we know about this image :
This photo is quite a mystery. Eleven players (some in shin pads) suggests a Soccer team, though the jerseys look like rugby kit. The location is the Gteyhound Stadium and you can see bomb damage on the left hand side. Our best guess is that this might be a set of players from West Rugby playing soccer as a wartime fundraiser. If anyone has further information please get in touch!
