Right to left : cec coldwell, Steve Charles, Stewart Houston, king Keith holding the trophy, bobby hatton, Paul garner, Colin Morris, John McPhail, is it Henderson on the extreme left and I'm going for mike trusson behind Keith,s arm, not sure who has his head bowed.

UTB.

Stewart Houston holding the trophy?


Er, with Keith Edwards arm .....

Er, with Keith Edwards arm .....

My mistake it looked like Keith but on second view its Houston !

 

[JJ Sefton]

I, for one, would love the club to sell a replica of that jacket.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Walthy, no idea if you know, but I seem to think that John McPhail is the second left on the back row. If you do recognise him, any idea whose nipple he's twiddling with his right hand?

.......must say, seeing Colin Morris reminds me of what a great player he was for us. A superb practitioner of the art of wing-play and leaving defenders behind him.

Can't be 100% sure either way tbf

Training tops made by HOBOTT (House of Barrington). They must be long gone by now, right?

 

[vorpal blade]

Is Tony Kenworthy the man who is looking down being hugged by MacPhail ?

Is Tony Kenworthy the man who is looking down being hugged by MacPhail ?

I'd say it was TK too.
It's not Mick Henderson on the far left, but another crowd favourite , Paul Richardson. Perhaps one of those hidden could be Jeff King?

 

[Escafeld]

I do believe it's Jeff King whose face is obscured by Houston's arm

Jeff King is behind Keith's arm. Paul Richardson is extreme left but the others you have named are correct. Henderson joined us in the following season. Am now trying to work out the ones whose faces arent showing

 

[Silent Blade]

Proof that it was King's face was hidden by Houston's arm. John Matthews (far right) always seems to be miserable!

 

[Silent Blade]

The photo was taken at the home friendly against Everton

So he bloody should be, the coward ...

Which led to Givens' penalty - That can best be described as a fucking back pass !!

Big time Long gone. They were dissolved in the 80s . Tony Barrington was the owner ,his son David went to school with me and ended up in the same type of business hobnobbing with the likes of Daniel Sugar ,however its all gone tits up again for him and he is now in Chokey serving a very lenient 18 months for his fraudulent dealings with JJB sports.

 

[pommpey]

Stewart Houston holding the trophy?


Er, with Keith Edwards arm .....

Nah. Edwards is holding the trophy aloft.

Houston is gripping Keith's testicles and penis in a hand hold described in Kettleborough's book as 'vice like'. (page 172)

but at the time we wouldn't have been seen dead in it or anything less than a Fila Borg top (or a replica by C&A (popularised by myself), the Slazenger version), an Ellesse or SergioTacchini (John McEnroe).

The Cerrutti 1881 (Jimmy Connors) would have been as acceptable in retrospect - I didn't like them then - but I can't remember seeing any at football games.....correct me if I'm wrong?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Thinking about who was there that season, Waugh Conroy and Casey.

 

[Sean Thornton]

And Steve Neville

 

[coaxingstar71]

John McAlle and John Ryan.

 

[silverfox]

Happy days!

 

[Silent Blade]

John McAlle and John Ryan.

They left before the season ended

Give Scav a bell if anyone knows he will.

Wasn't sure about Ryan but thought we only signed McAlle at the start of that season? Had he left again before it ended?

In January 1982 McAlle moved to Derby and Ryan to Man City

 

[Silent Blade]

The team for the Everton friendly (we paraded the Div 4 trophy before the game) were Waugh, Charles, Garner, Matthews, MacPhail, Kenworthy, Morris, Trusson, Edwards, Hatton, King. Subs were Brazil, Neville and Richardson. Neville scored for us in the 1-1 draw. My guess is that Brazil is the one whose head was bowed in the photo

I think that season we also had Ray McHale, Alan Young, Mick Henderson and Terry Cunt.
