Burton Latimer Celtic F.C. 1922-23

A few familiar faces on this team photograph – Herbert Chester, goalie; next a Cockayne?
1st in the middle row Fred Scott? With the ball – Eddie Knighton?

From a fixture list on the Chronical & Echo football page, Burton Latimer Celtic were to play in the
East Northants Medal Competition in 1923 against Ringstead United Res. or Wolllaston St. George.

The Northampton Mercury later reported on 9 November that the game was played against
Wollason St. George who won 3-1. The Burton goal being scored by Chester – so perhaps
Herbert Chester wasn’t the regular goalie or one of the unknowns is a Chester?

Any help gratefully received
