IN the first of what will be a series of retro Face in the Crowd features, here is a shot from Knowsley Road in the 1950s.

The image of smiling, scarf-wearing supporters illustrates the broad appeal of rugby league in its halcyon days.

Note the straw piled up against the wall, an old-school method of protecting the pitch from the frost in the depth of winter.

Get in touch if you or any of your family members are on the photograph.

We will have another vintage one for you tomorrow.
