This is one of a number of Daily Sketch pictures taken at St James Park during the 1933/34 season when City were challenging Brentford for the Divivion 3 (South) championship. The full page photographic spread appeared in the Dailly Sketch of Saturday March 18th 1933. I have a copy of an article that appeared in the Express and Echo relating to this that I can pass on to you so that you may be able to do further research and perhaps be able obtain copies of the of the other photographs.

Best wishes

Hi Barry, 

Many thanks for the info. 

If you would like share the article with us, that would be great. 

I am at SJP from 9am-5pm each Tuesday and Wednesday, and you would be more than welcome to pop in. 

Just ask for me in reception. 

Regards, 

Will.
