There’s a bald bloke in that picture who is a dead ringer for me but I wasn’t bald in 1971, so it can’t be can it?

 

[Silent Blade]

Is that Quentin Tarantino behind Trevor Francis?

Can see Austin Powers in top right corner

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I remember that day well, I was 37 days old and just had my first pint in the Cricketers.

 

[Foxy]

Can't spot me, which is strange given that I was exactly -13 to the very day.

Can you spot a bloke with a twinkle in his eye?

 

[Trafford]

Makes you realise how today’s players are genuine sportsmen compared to the players back then

No but I recognise Francis and Roger Hind two Birmingham players coming out the tunnel

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Have you got one of the kop end of John St? A very young SEB would probably be on the fence at the front.

I was almost twice as old as you then. I'm not any more!

Blimey, Trevor Francis only looks about 16, probably because he was

How times change, there isn't the remotest chance that a player as good as he was could stay with his first (unfashionable) club for 8 seasons these days, he'd be gone inside a year (c.f. Brooks D.)

Proof that Buddy Holly didnt die in a plane crash...

He's there just above the chap in the dark glasses and the old fella in the greeny flat cap and coat!

Yes he was. He scored 4 against Bolton two months before the photo was taken.

Guy Gibson there in his flying jacket and smoking his pipe just to the right of Tarantino!

[GrayBlade]

Great memories!

I’d moved onto the Kop by the time this picture was taken but from first starting going regularly with my Dad up to my mid teens, I always stood at the front of John street to the right of players tunnel. I stood on the railings plenty of times as well more or less where those kids are standing and then when my own lads were old enough I moved black into the terrace and they did the same thing. Happy daze.
