Hello!
Any ideas please as to the identity / location of this
Rovers 1st FOOTBALL TEAM ?
Players in bi-coloured strip. Team names:-
Simpson, Latheron, Chapman, Aitkenhead, Anthony / Walmsley, Smith, Bradshaw, R.Middleton, Sec. / Crompton, Captain, Cowell / Robinson
Message on reverse starts:
"This is the Photo of the Rovers 1st"
I've found the unusual surname LATHERON is most prolific in 1911 in: Cheshire, Durham, Lancashire, & Yorkshire
There is some kind of shield/badge above Aitkenhead's left shoulder.
With thanks~001uk

Google is a great tool to use ;)
It's Blackburn Rovers.
Here's Eddie Latheron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Latheron He was killed at Passchendaele

Here's Bob Crompton - no doubt at all it's the same person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Crompton

Thank you JenB: great result. I've had this image quite sometime and did try an internet search years ago. Perhaps when I wasn't quite so au fait with the "magic box". It's been sitting in my "To do" pile since, along with the other images I've been putting on recently. Perhaps I should double check a few before submitting then I won't be offside...

Latheron + footballer on Google gave an instant result ;)

What has happened to the team photo? It was beautifully clear before, now it is scarcely intelligible.
The same thing has happened to the photo on this thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=757224.msg6072406#msg6072406

How strange - they look as if they've had a halftone layer put on top of them - looks a bit like newspaper images. Same thing's happened to this one:

001uk perhaps you are doing this when a photo has been identified?
If you are - please don't! Other people might still want to look at it!
If you aren't doing it - I apologise :D

Why is this happening, I wonder?
