The ones you didnt name either never played for the first team or didnt play many in the first team except for one who was Bill Shankly's first signing at Liverpool. He is sat between John Harris and Ronnie Simpson. You will know him

EDIT: Bob Socks just realised you missed out a player who my dad rated. Between Joe Shaw and Gerry Summers. His lifestyle was a problem at the clubs he played for is the clue

 

[Grecian2000]

Good to see the Scoogs dad there next to Cec.

A few more - Ridge, Shiels, Hamilton, Parkes (possibly next to Matthewson), Kemp (on front row?). Lots of sons, with Hoyland's son to follow.

[Silent Blade]

[Bob Socks]

[Dnblade]

No, He isnt in the photo. Dunno why

. Can't remember Jack Parkes playing for first team and if that's him and it looks like him he'd only be 16/17. He was still at school in 1958 when I played against him.

 

[Willie Carlin]

Is that Tony Wagstaffe left middle row Silent. ?

Played in 1 League Cup match and in 1 League match in the 1963-64 season. He is in the photo

No

 

[Dnblade]

Len Allchurch in front of Widdowson?

 

[snootyfenooty]

No, He isnt in the photo. Dunno why

I think its been mentioned on here before that Billy Russell could have been unavailable for stuff like photoshoots as he was only a part-time pro, combining his playing career with that of a schoolteacher.

 

[Silent Blade]

Len Allchurch in front of Widdowson?

No, signed for us in March 1961
