A FAMILY'S footballing history is illustrated in this picture of a Middlewich team which no longer exists.

The team is Middlewich Athletic FC and the photograph was brought in to the Guardian by former player and manager Dave Twite.

Dave said his dad Phil is on the picture, as well as his uncle Tom Duffy.

"I'm not sure what year it is," he said.

"My dad's on it and my uncle, and I know one or two other faces.

"It may have been taken in the 1950s.

"My dad played and managed them and all my uncles played with them.

"Athletic merged with Middlewich Town a few years ago – it was Middlewich Town Youth FC and we merged under the banner of Middlewich Town in the late 90s."

Other players Dave recognises on the picture include Dave Smith and Kenny Cookson.

Dave, who has also managed Winsford United, is considering getting a team together to resurrect the Middlewich Athletic name.

"It's an idea I'm toying with," he said.
