Im an ex Barrow boys footy player.. and proud to say i was the first English captain to lift the European cup as i was captain of my junior school footy team. (really yea) we visited scotland for three days ... watched a match.. Played a match..(3-3 ) stayed at our opponents houses.. and then visited Celtics Ground a week after they won European cup and we were allowed to hold the european cup in their trophy room. Someone must have the pics! lol.. Cant be many to have held that cup eh!

Would that be South Newbarns junior school
I remember Joe Humphries was sports teacher and ran the school team We had a great team
It would have been 1959 i think Emlyn then went on to Risedale secondary school

Hi up and under.... no mate it was 1967 and Sacred Heart junior team. Obviously the best! Mr McClusky was our sports teacher who accompanied us. Great bloke. I know Gary stevens went to Risedale school. Seems to be the forgotton star born here. 60 odd england caps. Great attacking full back. Still with us.

I remember Mr McClusky having gone to the Sacred Heart up until 1965.We used to walk from school to the old park football pitch where the artificial pitches are now opposite the leisure centre and having to get changed in the hut there and after the game having to walk home in your muddy football gear as there were no washing facilities.
Those were the days

Question for ant:
I was in the Sacred Heart Football Team throughout my school years coached by 'Clucker' I left in 1971
I can't remember the team visiting Scotland so I assume it was a bit before my time. Can you name any players of that 1967 side?

And for the benefit of Villa fans who are curious to know about famous players from our town please see below a Barrow Grammar School 1974-75 Under-12 team photo below, featuring (front left) a very young Gary Stevens, who went on to fame with Everton, Rangers and England. It's easy to tell it's him!
