A Real Toughie for the Old Duffers...

[nutty nigel 7,902]

I seriously need help with this. I think it''s 1972 and Ron Saunders (Obviously). Steve Grapes on our left?

[Baldyboy 1]

Is that 1971/72 or 1972/73?

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Paul Cheesely on our right maybe?

[cornish sam 1,040]

Is that Ron Saunders or Vladimir Putin about to go riding?

[Duncan Edwards 2,424]

Must be Saunders, I can''t see Trump "assuming the position"

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Paul Cheesely on our right maybe?[/quote]Looks more like Colin Suggett to me, nutty. And that is definitely Dave Beasant behind Saunders'' right arm...

Grapes, Hubbard, Hansbury, Steele, Briggs, Howard,  (Andy Rollings ?)

[Bill 1,788]

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Paul Cheesely on our right maybe?[/quote]I think it is actually Paul  ''Chez lee'',  not Rollings

[Hairy Canary 754]

Are we sure it''s not 1973 as that definitely looks like Suggett to me.

[quote user="Barnacle Bill"]Grapes, Hubbard, Hansbury, Steele, Briggs, Howard,  (Andy Rollings ?)[/quote]

It''s not Max Briggs.

[Guest]

I don''t think that is Howard second from right, I think it is Glen Self.

[Guest]

I think Grapes, Hubbard, Hansbury, not sure about blondie, don''t think it is Steele, Rollings, Self, Cheesely. 

[Guest]

But just maybe the one I thought was Rollings could be Steve Goodwin.

Too tall to be Trevor Howard

[nutty nigel 7,902]

We need YOTT! 

It''s not Briggs and Howard that''s for sure. I''ll go with Grapes, Hubbard, Hansbury, Steele, Self, Cheesely.

Could be Howard hidden.

And no I''m not certain, it''s a long time ago...

[PurpleCanary 6,386]

[quote user="Hairy Canary"]Are we sure it''s not 1973 as that definitely looks like Suggett to me.[/quote]It does look like Suggett, and the build is right for him. Cheesley was over six foot, and a strapping lad, from memory,  so I don''t think it is him:

The player hidden by Saunders''s left arm could be Trevor Howard.

[Dorset Canary 0]

Second and third right, Phil Boyer & Ted McDougal???

Thought they were both a year later though.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Andy Rollings!! I think that''s a good call pops.

Could be...

Grapes, Hubbard, Hansbury, Steele, Self, Cheesely.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

If it''s Hubbard then it''s not Suggett. I still think it''s 72 and Cheesely but not sure...

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Off to church now. I''ll ask..... 

[A][;)]

[Bill 1,788]

Having checked some long forgotten stuffI think number 5 and 6 (from the left) could be Messrs Kent and Fryer

[Molly Windley 76]

[Bill 1,788]

blimey, we didn''t half have some tall players back thenshame we didn''t have enough chairs though

[nutty nigel 7,902]

[quote user="Molly Windley"][/quote]

That''sd a great picture Molly. I''ve nicked it because it could be good to use at Still on the Ball. 

So could it be...

Grapes, Hubbard and Hansbury on our left and Kent, Jacobs and Cheesely on our right?

[Molly Windley 76]

It`s to my shame that I have absolutely no recollection of Jacobs or Kent even though I went to all the home games that season. Anyone remember them or anything about their careers?

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Paul Kent only played a couple of times for the first team and that was later when Bondy was manager.. Got injured and was one who went on to play for Unity Emeralds. But his debut, albeit as sub, was against Manchester United.  I don''t think Jacobs ever played for the first team. I can''t even ever remember seeing him play for the Ressies. I guess I must have done...

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Thanks Lakey that was a great read[Y]

[Year of the tiger 66]

Sorry a bit late to this. Have seen the photo before & struggled with the one under the arm.

As far as I can see it''s Grapes Hubbard Hansbury ?? Goodwin Jacobs Cheesley

Possibly ?? Could be Paul Fryer but I think it is more likely to be an A team lad who didn''t appear on the picture. I''ll keep racking my addled brain

[Ginja 43]

Not sure if this is helpful or not [;)] did a reverse image search and found an article claiming the date of the picture is August 10, 1972
