This photograph was given to me by Patrick Brennan , following repair , it had actually been in two pieces , and was expertly joined and made good . It was found following a house clearance in Leeds in a skip , and came to Patrick's possession via the finder - a friend , who thought that he might find it of interest ! He actually identified it , by recognition of the large trophy , and the knowledge of the club which won it that year , none other than South Shields Adelaide FC !!! By coincidence Patrick is the magazine editor of the Northumberland and Durham Family History Society , of which I am a member .
