FOOTBALL TEAM Rovers 1st LATHERON surname UK IDENTITY help, please
« on: Saturday 08 October 16 15:30 BST (UK) »
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

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...

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
