Hilgay football team of 1959
Hilgay resident Valerie Gooding is hoping this picture, published in the Lynn News in 1959, will provide some happy memories for former players with the village football team.
A copy of the photograph was found among the belongings of her late husband Fred Gooding, a former team captain and secretary of Hilgay Football Club, who died a few months ago.
Mrs Gooding said: "After he finished playing he became a referee and always lived in the Ten Mile Bank and Hilgay area.
"The people in the picture are all friends of his from the village and a lot of them still live locally. Ralph Palmer (back right) was best man at our wedding."
Pictured above are: Back, from left, G. Veal, John Brown, Norman Cox, Gordon Smith, Fred Gooding and Ralph Palmer. Front, from left, Stan Coulson, Percy Clifton, Mick Clifton, George Barrett and Norman Whicker.
