Just doing a little research on a football trophy of my dads, and trying to find more info re. the engraving. It says 'JOC league winners 1959'. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Is he Scottish? Jock League... Did he play for Celtic? Is he Japanese? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Olympic_Committee Was he in the military at that time? Joint Operation Command? Doing a Google image search on Joc Cup is not pleasant. Did find this that might be relevant... Especially if he's a scouser. https://playupliverpool.com/tag/bootle-joc-league/ Junior organization of Clubs.
He was a scouser, and he would have been back in Liverpool after his national service in Korea. I found that website but there isn't a great deal of info on it, but 'junior organisation of clubs' is defo what it stands for.
Anyone get snow then Love the media hysteria over about 2cm of the stuff and a bit of ice ... ridonkulous
No. It rained here and is a little cooler than normal. Interestingly, we had a small % chance of snow predicted here too. / Never snows in December though.
https://playupliverpool.com/tag/bootle-joc-league/ Also found this in Wikipedia Bootle FC - The possible resurrection of a Bootle team became a distinct probability in August 1947 when local councillors identified the popularity and talent on show in the ‘Bootle JOC’ league and knew the town was big enough to be put back on the football map with its own team again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootle_F.C.
I looked out and had a bit of snow this morning so right but it was not major at all like it was reported. I think it's coming over next days. happy birthday saint...
We had quite a bit last night but not enough to effect anything. Didn't stop the ****s driving at 20mph this morning though!
always a twat isn't there. I mean ok it was frozen under the snow on the car but it was dry enough so mostly it was condensation type frost that froze then it snowed overnight
About 4" in Shrewsbury/Telford, schools closed early, typical teachers any excuse to bugger off home.
Snow? Look at my wee champion! She's done six weeks of physio and hydrotherapy....and gone from them showing me xrays of two dysplasia destroyed back hips and talking about double hip replacements to ......this....
