lake district canary 4,531 Posted April 12, 2020 I've got three of them later on. Guessing there were three I don't know of in the early sixties, Kennon, maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted April 12, 2020 Ah, mp got them. I was missing Vasper and Barnard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,024 Posted April 12, 2020 As I was born in 1962 the only two I knew were Hansbury and Baker. My abiding memory of Baker (unfortunately) will always be that 6-0 defeat at Man City in the FA Cup. A bad day all round, a police horse trod on my foot, we conceded 6 and of course Kevin Reeves and John Bond had just moved to Man City....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I can see there were no rules attached to the question. To be honest, which I was, anybody can look these things up and make out they didn't.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted April 13, 2020 I was in NZ in 1980 when we played the National side. A few expats at the game and I chatted to some of the players before the game and again at Auckland airport the next morning as they were flying off somewhere and I was flying back to Wellington. The NZ crowd were desperate to see Martin Peters and he was flying in from Oz and they didn't know if he would make it in time. Luckily he did. Funny thing, Newmarket Park in Auckland was the NZ home ground and a few days later thee main stand collapsed after torrential weather and was never used for football again.

nutty nigel 7,535 Posted April 13, 2020 Duncan Forbes certainly was a great bloke who always had time for us fans. He was chuffed to bits that my son was also called Duncan and used to say "hello little Dunc this is big Dunc"Â I never did tell him I ran Martin Peter by Mrs nutty first... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted April 14, 2020 First left sitting down is a tricky one. Looks very much like someone I saw score a goal in Scotland in the long-forgotten Texaco Trophy but the chronology with some of the other players isn't right. And I think the player on Keelan's left is not Black but someone else, now sadly dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He must have been very young and starting out in the first team when that pic was taken. The goal was away at St Johnstone. And now having peeped I know the identity of the player between Howard and Stringer. Not easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
