Forres Football Team
« on: Tuesday 15 July 14 15:32 BST (UK) »
Hi there
I'm trying to identify the team in the photo and the cup/competition in which they competed. It may be a school team or youth club.

Any help would be much appreciated

The player in the middle with arms crossed looks like George Dickie, who played for Forres Mechanics in the 1920s and 1930s. He made his debut in 1922 age 16 (and there is a photo of him in the club's centenary history).

If it is him, and as this is not the senior team, I guess it must be Forres Academy from around 1921.

Incidentally, there is a Wikipedia page about him but, like so many Wikipedia pages it is wildly inaccurate as it confuses him with his brother James.
