I'd go for Hoyland for number 5.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

1. David White

 

[Revolution]

2 is GlennCockerill I think.

5 can't beHoyland as he played for Bury as well.

 

[Revolution]

4 is Bob Hatton

 

[Revolution]

1 is Paul Beesley

 

[Geordie Blade]

David White is incorrect for #1. Revolution got it right (Paul Beesley)
I'm going to have to ask for more details on #5 - Tommy or Jamie?
#2 (Glenn Cockerill) and #4 (Bob Hatton) are correct!

Tommy

2 is GlennCockerill I think.

5 can't beHoyland as he played for Bury as well.

He played for Burnley too. He's now Radio Lancashire's football pundit, a less wearing version of Sir Keith.

I also seem to recall that he was in the Stade de France for the game on the night of the Paris bombings. Not that you asked.....
