Arthur Cooper Gallery - Sport

Hi all I've added 'Arthur Cooper - Coventry sports' as a gallery now. There's about 700 assets in there, covering running, football, rugby, boxing and a few others. Post copied from topic Arthur Cooper Gallery (for metadata) on 1st Nov 2022 4:52 pm

This has to be Steve “Kalamazoo” Mokone in action at Highfield Road

Roy Dwight, Terry Bly, George Curtis - 1962-63 season

Billy Myerscough, Ronnie Farmer, Nelson Stiffle - 1960-61 season

I think this is Bob Wesson, who passed away recently. But this certainly is.

Not early 1950s, this is 1963.

On the mat is Ralph Robins (BTH (Rugby) BC). His opponent is Wally Barnes (Ward End Park BC, Birmingham). Press photo prior to Warwickshire CBA Singles Championship Final, July 1952 at Avenue (Coventry) BC, Gaveston Road. Barnes beat Robins 21-15. This is the “other” photo with Wally Barnes on the mat.

City’s new forward line for the 1962-63 season. Willie Humphries, Hubert Barr, Terry Bly, Jimmy Whitehouse, Bobby Laverick.

The first end of a match between Warwickshire CBA and Leicestershire CBA at Three Spires BC, Morningside, Coventry. Judging by the scoreboards, this is the start of the second end of the same match.

Bernard Tennant and Bert Lacey, Coventry “Bees”, 1948.

Caption refers to Ronnie Rees, but omits the names of George Hudson and Bob Wesson

Good game, good game! Bruce Forsyth.

Bob Fletcher, Coventry “Bees”, 1948.

Not sure if this is sport - Fillongley Agricultural Society prizes, Annual Show 1948.

John Stephens? No, it’s Nelson Stiffle.
