Mike Beadsworth (pictured front row third right), says that this picture was most likely taken at the end of the 1952/53 season, while Cottingham FCwas playing in the Market Harborough and District Football League. He says that, several years later, Cottingham FC moved to the Kettering and District Football League before joining the semi-professional United Counties Football League in the 1970s.
