Bowerchalke CC Early 1970s

This is the most recent photograph we have come across so far. Again our Mum & Dad are the source. The photograph was originally published in The Salisbury Times / Journal (negative reference number 1633A).

Back-row: Tim Barter, Tony Izzard, Morris Lampert, Chris Downs, David Holmes, Brian Gulliver

Front-row: David Syrett, Peter Syrett, Dorien Petch, Reggie Clough, Paul Lee

If you look closely at this photograph you can see the fence around the outfield, discussed in previous posts on this blog!

There are a few players here who also played for Nomads CC in Salisbury (both Syretts, David Holmes, Brian Gulliver and Tony Izzard). Of course Gordon Lampert, another Bowerchalke CC player, also played for Nomads CC. Nomads CC played in Harnham.

It's also interesting to note that this picture includes a second person (David Syrett) who went on to play professional football, Terry Gulliver (Weymouth, Bournemouth & Boscombe and Cape Town City) being the other.

David Syrett played for Swindon Town, Mansfield Town, Walsall, Peterborough, Northampton, Salisbury and Brackley. We'll see if we can dig out some more on David. His brother Peter also played at Swindon Town. KeithG remembers the first ever football match his Dad took him to was Southampton Reserves versus Swindon Town Reserves at The Dell when David and Peter both played for Swindon. Amazing eh?
