Yes, he is on the far right of the front row. The photo must have been taken while the club was waiting for the results of his medical test!
I think Whittle played all the games in the pre season tour in 1976.
Today's one game wonder

Didnt know that. Will check Complete records when I get home. Always thought that he came to us for a very short time. The other pre-season 1976-77 photo had Dearden, Edwards, Goulding, Speight and Faulkner but were not in the one I have just posted. The one I have just posted was probably the second one taken because it included Chico Hamilton who signed for us that summer

He did - 3 games in Belgium and Holland. He signed for Orient after we released him.

Quick quiz. Who was the player who had a similar experience in 1989 - played all our pre season tour games and then not signed.

I was at that Notts County friendly and during the warm up I was asking Blades fans who this "new face" is. No one knew!

Ahh, the great Baxter himself, no not the scouse one.

He had a shot that hit the crossbar at Cambridge in May 1979 when we were fighting to equalise

Strangest game ever for me that one. Baxter was awful, Monty scored, Brown gave a glimpse of where his career would end up with an awful sending off and at the end I did my ankle ligamints falling over the wooden seats climbing over them to get out.
Had an impromptu cricket game on the outfield of Burnley CC before hand that was the highlight of the day.
Remember us all saying before hand that he (Warnock) should have played Fettis who had more experience of English football, but that Baxter had played champions league so must be something special. He certainly proved to be.

Pigeon chest! Terrible right back

Behind the white railings
Saw the photo on "Photographer Leicester" and thought: who? Don't remember the name, and can't see him in the "who's who?"(which does mention trialists we never signed like Louie Donowa and Dominic Iorfa).

Carl Muggleton. Bit of a keeper fetish lately Darren. I'll have to get some pics of Fettis, Johns, Richardson etc. to keep up

Strange thing is, he played up front at Elm Park.
Hottest day of the year on an open away end. Lots of sunburnt blades that day. He nearly scored if I remember rightly.

He might have scored the third if Dane hadn't got to the ball first.
He ran around a lot and touched the ball once, I think - trapped a throw in on his thigh and kicked it over his head, to great acclaim.
The game against them at Elm Park in August - the first game of the following season - was even hotter. We lost that one 1-0 having stuffed them in April.

It was indeed Muggleton who came on late in the 3-0 win at Reading on 27/4/96. Someone outfield got injured and he was the last sub left of the 3 allowed then, so he went up front.
He was on loan from Leicester and it was his second loan spell at the Lane; he was also with us in 93-4 but never played.

One time academy star Lewis Killeen. I think in a Crawley shirt there, not sure where he is now

Well done that man. That's a Drolysden shirt and I think he is now at Congleton Town. Not quite sure if this is him as well
