This week’s Golden Oldie is of Bombala second class taken in 1959. Do you recognise anyone? Please let us know if you do.
Last week’s Golden Oldie was recognised by Graeme Payton who recalls his young charges with fondness after seeing the team photo as Bombala Times’ Golden Oldie last week.
The Delegate Hotel publican is the coach pictured and he knew the names of his U8s players, having no trouble recalling them all “about 34 years” on.
The youngsters pictured are (back, from left) John Jeffreys, Ben Peden, Trent Tonissen, Will Jeffreys, (front) Peter Stephenson, Ryan Clear, Jordan Cameron, Luke Payton and Jay Nichol.
Mr Payton thought, given the ages of some of the men he still knows and that it was likely his Delegate under 8s, he estimated the photo as being taken in 1984.
