THIS was the Silsden team which won the Keighley and District FA Cup at Lawkholme in April, 1965, beating Keighley Central – the previous year’s winners – by 3-1 in a game “marred at times by a strong wind”.

The photograph has been supplied by Mr Philip Snell, of Holden Lane, Silsden, who stands third from the left. He names his team-mates as John Newton, Tom Tillotson, Tommy Anderson, Ernie Moorhouse and Chris Stevenson at the back, and Kenny Heaton, Danny McGowan, Billy Arnold (captain), Dave Palamountain and Ray Wilson at the front.

The man of the match was Dave Palamountain, who scored two of the Silsden goals.
