Is this Spondon Ameteurs F.C.? Back row 2nd from RHS is called Gill and I think later his younger brother Gilly also played for the team and went on to play for Derby County. It was about the time the team played on one of George Dexter's fields on Dale Road next to the Reservoir and is now the developement including Woods Road. I remember we young lads emulated the elder Gill by shouting "Come on Kiddo". Is that John Cameron (middle row)3rd from RHS who lived in Brunswood Close with his family? I guess it was after the War - late 1940's or early 1950's
