Badger 2,412 Posted October 16, 2023 I like it that as far as I know, I only saw one of them play - it makes me feel young! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke63 545 Posted October 16, 2023 Unknown fact about Roy McCrohan. My fathers family knew him quite well and when my mum and dad got married he was invited. He came to the church service but had to leave the reception early as City were playing at home in the afternoon. He caught the bus to the game from what I can remember. How times have changed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 5,013 Posted October 16, 2023 I didn't start watching till 1968 so I don't recognise them. What is extraordinary is the number of people in suits. Are they directors? I hate to think of the reaction if Smith and Jones appeared in official team photos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Myra Hawtree 124 Posted October 16, 2023 Is second left on front row Ron Davies? Bit like him. Also one next to McCrohan does look like Whitehouse although I thought he was taller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C.I.D 310 Posted October 16, 2023 Is Jackie Bell(ex Newcastle,I think) on there ..............can't say I recognise him but we did have the half-back line of the 3 'B's(Burton,Butler and Bell) around then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
