Many will bemoan the loss of the North Lancashire and District Football League, with Lancaster Guardian Football Historian, Terry Ainsworth, amongst them.
"The demise of the North Lancashire and District Football League is a terrible loss to players like me whose whole life focused on football every Saturday, training Tuesday and Thursday," said Terry.
“A very sad day for me and a host of friends who literally played many sports but football was the backbone of our lives.”
Terry has kindly shared with us a selection of pictures from his vast collection of teams who played in the North Lancashire and District Football League through the years.
