Grandfathers matches have a few special rules. A quick walk and side step are the qualities in demand, 'no running' the men all carried sticks to help them over the ground.
Shorts are worn over ordinary trousers, shirts as a rule outside the shorts.

Exactly 60 years ago last month, Lingdale Football Club won the Eskdale challenge Cup. They have had to wait that length of time to achieve the same honour. The name of the cup - and the club- have changed since the days on 1909. But it was still appropriate that the last surviving player of the Lingdale Swifts as they were known, should present the cup, then called the Whitby Hospital Cup to this years victorious side.
Mr John Smith, 80 of Lingdale, who played centre-half in the 1909 team, was on hand to do the honours at eh Bunch of Grapes, Scaling Dam this week. It cost 3d to go on the field and the game made £100.
Brotton County Modern School Former Pupils Club (BSFP) Team History
A fund raising game held on Monday, August 14th 1966 on the main field verses a George Hardwick's select eleven, including: Bob Hardisty of Bishop Auckland fame, Johnny Spuler, ex Bror star, Bobby Michell, Newcastle winger and FA Cup star, Eddie Connachan, onetime Boro goalie etc. in which Brotton pupil Phillip Wright of Lingdale scored the winning goal in a 1 v 0 game which paid for the team kit.
Brotton School Former Pupils (BSFP) football club was founded by Mr. Robin Gray the P.E. teacher circa 1964 allowing a strong school squad to carry beyond schoolboy cempetition by joingin the Middlesbrough Junior Football League as u/18's. The fine school pitch and gym facilities were our home from 1964 - 1972. Key figures running the club were Les Crossman, Malcolm Carver and Charlie Preston.
Losing a tough first game 10 v 0 to Boro Juniors the team held their own in the junior division before moving up into the men's Cleveland League and in 1967 the second season were victorious in three competitions sweeping the : Cleveland League title, Cleveland Challenge cup and League Trophy.
In 1968 the Clubs first team advanced into the Teesside League, spending four respectable seasonss, peaking in 1972 with a real possibility of a title finish. Sadly only fourth plaace was achieved and that team broke up shortly afterwards.
