You have spent 30 years standing virtually right in front of the answer!

In season 1968/69 Tony Hackett played in goal for all but one of the Halesowen Town games. In the mid 1960s Tony Cottrill scored 73 goals and formed a formidable partnership with Eddie Bell

Yep, but no points as it was just a guess based on naming old people. Top left on the back row.



For a bonus point, Les Prosser and Harry Rudge are the only two Yeltzmen to have what?

Bit harsh to not part with your billion points as well. There are a lot of old people.

And if it is stands as the answer have we ever had anyone play for us named Shed?πŸ˜†

The remaining game in 68/69 saw Shaun Barrett's Dad in goal

Close enough. Only two Yeltzmen to have parts of the ground named after them.

Harry Rudge Stand, obvs.
And Prosser's Bonk - the big bump that used to be about 30 yards out from the Stourbr*dge Road end goal on the right, Les used to dribble the ball onto the top of it, in one of his famous marauding runs, before clattering it into the top corner.

I suspect that he may not have been quite as prolific as nostalgia-stained memory suggests and probably only ever scored that goal at Gresley, but, you know.

Also, Westy will probably want the bit of concreting he did on the steps to have eponymous status, as he claims that it's the best laid bit of cement in the West Midlands, but, no.

Look at that Barnet!

Ken Ferrick also played for us in 1982/3 but I don’t remember him.

I neglected to say which one, but how many short, fat full backs have we had. He just happens to have a mop of hair then.
The ploughman he's a bonnie lad,
His mind is ever true, jo,
His garters knit below his knee,
His bonnet it is blue, jo.
Then up wi' him my ploughman lad,
And hey my merry ploughman!
Of a' the trades that I do ken,
Commend me to the ploughman.

This gives relatively new folk the idea that our pitch was more like Clent!
Actually, thinking about it......
