The  Courier does not keep photos from the 1920's etc, was more or less hoping someone would have an odd photo from the time a relative once played with a local team, must be loads of photos kicking about its just finding them. The best source in the area is the Library Headquarters at Blackburn. But thanks all the same.

May I suggest a visit to the pie and bovril juniors website and asking the question on there. There are a lot of junior football fans on there and some may have older photos. It's worth a try Wldiamond.

Cheers for that, worth a try, but its Senior football photos I'm looking for, sadly a bit thin on the ground.

It still might be worth a punt to check out the Junior fans. I'm guessing that today's junior teams from these towns will have some form of link to their senior predecessors, however tenuous.  :-\

Always worth a try, Only Bo'ness have that slight connection with the old seniors.
