From Sid Grant History of Coalfields Soccer
Then the advent of a breakaway State League in 1943 saw Weston, like all other Coalfields clubs, out in the cold. Shakespeare, J. Kemp, J. Leddon, Alby Jenkins, Drinkwater and Paddocks did not return. Only "Sketa" Wilkinson and Ern Kemp remained. Local recruits included Humble, Ron Wilkinson, K. Bellamy, A. Maxwell, J. Atkinson, W. Langlands, A. Hindmarsh. Humble on 16 was the only double-figure scorer.
The future for the famous club was bleak to say the least. Like all champion clubs, time generally brings bad days, financial problems and relegation.
