CAN you help piece the jigsaw of a Southport resident’s quest to find out more about his father’s footballing days?
William Sephton, 83, of Freckleton Street, has two football badges dating back to the year he was born, in 1924. There is another one from 1923.
He remembers that his father, Bob Sephton, was a keen sportsman and played both football and cricket regularly.
Mr Sephton said: “I don’t know what the badges are for, clearly they are for football but I would really like to know more. Were they won in a competition? By looking at them they were from when he played Irish teams. But he has no Irish roots.
“My dad played for St Paul’s Church of England and he lived by St Luke’s Street on Hart Street.”
Mr Sephton’s wife, Margaret, 75, said: “We would dearly love to know the background of the badges. We have tried finding out but haven’t found anything.”
