This week we’re looking back at football and cricket teams from the 1970s and 1980s that we have uncovered in our archive.
Many players would play football in the winter and cricket in the summer – especially village teams.
There’s village and town teams from across the Corby, Kettering, Rushden and Wellingborough areas.
Hopefully there are players that you recognise, and see if you can spot the local winner of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
