1921 - 1939 - West Hartlepool Technical / Secondary School Old Boys

A series of photos from the 20s & 30s when S.S.O.B. was prominent in junior club circles.

The club originated prior to the Great War as Technical Old Boys and reformed in 1921 as Technical Old Boys and in they amalgamated with West to become West and Tech in 1923. However, they reverted to SSOB and following the Second World War became the very successful Grammar School Old Boys Club.

In 1974 they moved onto the then Petrus Park ground in Elizabeth Way (now Hornby Park),, becoming SCRUFC, retaining the familiar Maroon & Gold colours.
