Blast
FROM THE
past
Old photos wanted
We want to see any
old photographs you
have of Elmore.
We are interested in any photo concerning
Elmore FC – players, group pictures,
action shots, ground views or photos of
the clubhouse/changing room etc.
Action photos of players from years ago
are very rare and so if you have any of
those, we would love to see them
The pictures must be photographs (or
good copies of photos). Newspaper
cuttings, although interesting to read, are
difficult to reproduce. We will look after
any photos given to us and once copied,
they will be returned to you.
The pictures can be from any era, but
preferably from the 1950s and 1960s. We
will publish some of the photos in the
programme throughout the season. And
if there are people in the photos you do
not know, maybe readers of the
programme will be able to identify them.

The photograph below, we believe was
taken taken circa 1968-1970. Can anyone
enlighten us what the players are
celebrating and in what year?
We believe the photograph shows an
Elmore side celebrating winning a sevena-side tournament held at Horsdon Park.
The people pictured are (from left to
right): Barry Kerslake, John Youlden, Geoff
(Zubie) Kerslake, Rod Stone, Kenny
Bennett, Ray Cottrell, Barry Hutchings and
Nicky Seatherton. All bar Barry Kerslake’s
brother (Geoff, known as Zubie) were
Elmore players.
A classy midfield player, Barry played for
Elmore for many years before moving to
Tiverton Town and Westexe Rovers. He
currently looks after the Under 11s at
Tiverton Town.
Barry will be the subject of our Blast from
the Past feature in our next programme for
the FA Vase Cup game at home to
Wadebridge next Saturday.
