These two shots are of Long Field High School's first football team, one taken in 1982 and the other last week.
It was a reunion of the team which, in the 1984-85 season, did the double, winning the North Leicestershire Musson Cup and the league.
Dean Williams discovered the trophies when he was clearing his loft and decided to hold a reunion, with many of the players not having seen or spoken to each other since they left school.
Dean said: "It was amazing as we were using old nicknames and it was as if we had seen each other only yesterday,not 25 years ago, it was just brilliant.
"I just want to thank everyone for coming along, the current Year 8s for giving us a cricket lesson and Richard Bailey for hosting the event."
The group was treated to a tour of the school, which has just received a £5m injection for new building and sports hall, before enjoying lunch.
They were then beaten in a tight game of cricket by the current Year 8 team.
And it is now hoped all 144 pupils from the class of 1985 can come together again for a 25 year reunion.
For more details on the reunion check the Melton Times.
