The sign says David Ford

Sliding tackle from Sting

And a fine early example of product placement with the Mitre

Never noticed the resemblance to Sting. Thanks for your help.

Any ideas who the United player is in the background? I'd have guessed Tom Heffernan but looks taller than I remember him.

My guess would be Jeff Eckhardt

Still not convinced but it's a better guess than mine.

What’s the United connection? Jim Smith was a Wednesday fan?

Best strike partnership ever at The Lane? Certainly the best I've seen. Better than Deane and Agana? I reckon so........

Christ. I must be getting old. I instantly recognised Birchenall, but couldn't get the other bloke. Having seen your comment I now realise it's Mick Jones. How can you forget so easily.

Glad it’s not only me. Mick Jones looks more like Michael Tonge to me in that photo.

Dont think Revie wanted Birchenall?

I do know what Revie did want though and he wouldn’t have enjoyed it.

I know it's about 'what ifs', but we also bought Currie that season. If we hadn't sold Jones and Birch, we could have had numbers 7 to 11 of Woody, Birch, Jones, Currie and Reece. Fuckin ' ell. We'd have won the League the year after!
