This may well be the last of the stories on Chorlton Albion who were one of our amateur football teams in the 1920s.
I was first drawn to them by my friend Ann whose dad played for them and in searching its history I came across a lost football world.
Now I say lost but there will be those who indignantly write to me with details of all our local teams pointing out that in a club house somewhere in the township are the records of the games they played, the team lists and plenty of photographs.
I hope so if only to advance our knowledge.
But in the mean time here are the teams, courtesy of John R. Howard*
