| Sion Methodist Church, Helmshore (Please click over to enlarge) |
Helmshore Methodists first football team was formed in 1955. It ran until 1959 once winning Division 3 of the Accrington and District Football league and reaching the semi-final of the league’s Townley Cup. In 1959 they amalgamated with Helmshore United.
In 1965 three
players from the original team together with several sons of the same, who were
playing for Haslingden Youth Club, got together and decided to reform. Leading
lights in this reformation were Joe Haworth, who served on the Committee of the
original team and Aquila Ashworth a devoted fan of local amateur football.
The
Accrington Combination in 1965/66 consisted of four divisions plus a Junior
Division, a total of 58 teams. The Methodists were put into Division 2 which
included Haslingden St James, Poplar United and Cambridge Street Methodists
whose team included prolific scorer Eddie Robinson and then Lancashire
cricketer David Lloyd who was also a fine footballer. The Meths. First
secretary was Joan Jenkinson, who was the only girl official in the
Combination. The battles with Cambridge Street were highlights of the season
but the best result they had was in the Colonel Bolton cup when drawn against a
powerful S S Stotts team including ex Blackburn Rovers player Eric Corbridge,
and against all the odds defeated them 3 -1.
The next
season they were to meet Stotts in the final of the same cup but were beaten
2-1 on St James’s Prinny Hill pitch in front of a large crowd, reminiscent of
the crowds who used to view the Haslingden Cup and Medals on neighbouring St
Mary’s. That same season they achieved promotion to Division 1 and had the
honour of being runners up in the Accrington League Sportsmanship cup. The
highlight of their one season in Division 1 was the defeat of Helmshore United
who were top of the league at the time. The team disbanded in 1978 by which
time all the original players had retired although Aquilla Ashworth who was
still involved asked Jack Pilling to play. He is still trying to recover from
the experience which however resulted in a 4 goals to nothing win.
Aquilla liked
to tag some players with nicknames. Examples were:-
Frank
Ashworth – Oddjob (After the James Bond character)
Alan
Isherwood – Clogger ( wholehearted tackling)
Brian Haworth – Little Ben (The youngest of 3
brothers) Bonanza.
Martin
Nuttall - Sidney (Martins Uncle Sidney was well known Chip Shop owner)

Haslingden Football Team
Jack Pilling writes shows my dad Billy Pilling with the winning team
and holding the cups in the middle row.
The presentation was to the winning team and held on Dark Lane.
I do not know what team or what competition they won.
I only know Bill Hanson to his left and I think next to him on the right is a man called Riley.
I would love to know a bit more about it but as it was in the 1940's it is very doubtful.
Team Unknown (see notes below)
The following names have been offered: Arthur Robinson and Stuart Collier (back row)
and Dave Dewhurst and Neil Shingles on (front row)
thanks to Peter Fisher for sharing
Information kindly supplied by Ian Heys on 1st March 2018:
I've been viewing your great site for years now and I find I may be able to help in identifying the "Unknown Team" currently last but one on your Sports, Football blog.
I believe the season is 1967/8 and the team is made up of most of the members of the former Cloughfold St. John's team that played in the Rossendale Youth League till around 1966/7 and having found they were becoming too old for that league may have changed their name.
Before I left the valley in 1967 I worked for a time at Loveclough Printworks and of the four players that wern't in the team when I left, three seem to have come from there:
Back Row L to R: Arthur Robinson (CPA),?, Tom Quinton, Harry Coley, Stuart Collier, Brian Parsonage (CPA)
Front Row L to R: Brian Turner, Geoff Quinn, Neil Shingles, Jim Mitchell, ? (possibly Dave Dewhurst and definately (CPA).
I played for this team in the previous season (in the same blue and yellow shirts). We won the league.
The team won the draw for the two cup final tickets awarded to the Rossendale Youth League because of their affiliation with the Football Association (FA).
Tom Quinton and I travelled by bus to the FA Cup Final at Wembley on 20th May 1967 and were part of the 100,000 mainly standing crowd - Tottenham Hotspur 2 - Chelsea 1
Thanks for the great site.
