Springfield Borough, an offshoot of Blackpool Borough.

Didn’t they have a player with one arm ?

Thanks Rogues ,
Were they at the time trying to make themselves into a Wigan area side or was it just temporary move ? I watched Leeds there but could not remember who the team were (i am guessing it was Challenge cup)

I think it was a temporary move, I’m sure they then moved on and morphed into Trafford Borough

Thanks Hatty

I remember watching the football team when they where in the 4th division and standing on the crumbling terraces and having a pie from the pie shop and bovril

Correct.


Springfield Borough moved there for a minimum 10 years but it didn't work out. This was on the BBC back in the day.

Kerry Gibson played for Runcorn Highfield and he had one arm. I think he was an Australian.
