Description: | This silver trophy was presented annually to the winners of the Newcastle and Gateshead Senior League between 1947 and 1972. This football league was formed in 1947, after men returning from the war were looking for a way to pass time. It disbanded in 1972 due to declining numbers. The donor, Albert Turnbull, worked for Northern General Transport and joined its team in 1952. He played for the next 20 years. In 1971 he appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest serving member of an amateur soccer league, with 724 appearances. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East sport leisure | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
