Here are a few team pictures relating to football in Hastings and St. Leonards over the first half of the last century. They are as follows:

ROCK-A-NORE 1910-11

ST. LEONARDS AMATEUR'S 1912-13

ST. LEONARDS 1924-25

HASTINGS & ST. LEONARDS 1948

HASTINGS UNITED 1949

I am sure some of you will find them of interest.

There is of course the original of the final picture, framed and in the Boardroom which I presented to the club in the memory of the late Barry Hilton, a Hastings Supporter

Brilliant pictures- these old teams give the impression of being really good sides, especially the 1949 team group.
Some amazing hats in the pictures.

I have always been intrigued as to whether the laws of the game prohibit hats. Clearly goalkeepers are allowed to wear them. Players can also wear hair long and pile it up on top of their heads. You may recall Jason Lee of Nottingham Forest in 2007 with a hair style that resembled a pineapple giving him extra inches in height ( as would hats or indeed hats on top of long hair)
Might this be a way forward to aerial supremacy next season
