Brigg Blog has enjoyed some Christmas period reading - courtesy of Barnetby United Football Club historian Lee Fielden.
Lee takes a very keen interest in the history of his club and has loaned us SEVENTEEN glossy booklets produced to trace the development of football in the railway village.
They are packed with pictures, facts and figures, newspaper cuttings, league tables and other information about Barnetby United - still going strong today in the EC Surfacing Scunthorpe & District League, with two Saturday sides.
The first in the series - Football in Barnetby 1885-1914 - begins with a reproduction of "the first known report of football being played in Barnetby."
Brigg Ancholme 2nd XI won 1-0 on their visit to the village for this Saturday encounter.
The booklet Barnetby United FC 1956-76 includes a picture from the 1960-61 side that caught our eye, as we recognised a couple of the players.
Above we show part of the image with Mike Hartley - back row, extreme right - and Garry 'Gig' Smith, on the centre on the front row.
Gig banged in the goals for Brigg Amateurs FC later in the 1960s, and both he and Mike were good cricketers.
Other photobooks cover the years to the present day, and there are some about players who had made it into the Barnetby United Hall of Fame, including Graham Day, Jesse Dawson and Jimmy McPhee.
