Clayhanger Villa: what do you know?

Since it’s Saturday, I thought I’d share this great football team lineup pictures from reader Jean Houghton, featuring her dad, Jack Hinks.

Jean thinks the images might be of Clayhanger Villa – obviously both I and Jean welcome any input on this from readers, also dates and other team member names would be great if possible.

In the past, we’ve had great success with teams as diverse as Walsall Wood FC, Brownhills Albion, Brownhills United, Brownhills Town and even Wernicks FC! Let’s see what we can find out here.

Hi BrownhillsBob,

I have attached two old photos that belonged to my Dad. They are both of football teams and it looks likely that they are for the same team.

I can remember my Dad saying he played for Clayhanger Villa so that is a possibility.

I was born in Coppice Side Brownhills and later moved to Clayhanger where I lived until I got married in 1971. I know a little about the photos as follows :-

Photo One
My Dad ( Jack Hinks ) is bottom right of the picture.

Photo Two
Top Row :- 2nd left Ron Sault, 3rd left Bertie Willetts and the goalkeeper could be Gerry Toddington. My Dad is far right wearing the raincoat.

I have a few other photos that might be of interest to you.

Regards
Jean Houghton

Please, if you remember the team or have anything at all to add, do comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.

Thanks of course to Jean for an excellent contribution.
