One for the over 60's - any ideas ?

Going on the nose it doesn't look like Madden or Jackson.

Even in those days we were short of a bob or two and couldn't even afford the same shirts and socks for everyone XD

It could still be Jackson, thaimillerfan. We won't know for sure unless someone who was there can name him for certain. I'm looking into that. Those that are alive still are pushing 80 now.

Thanks for putting up the picture I was talking about, mikemiller. I particularly like it because it shows the old Main Stand retaining wall painted in the wide vertical red and white stripes as I remember it. I used to stand in Kids Corner behind the boundary wall on the left hand side of the shot.

I was wondering about that, too, CAM! At first I thought it was first team squad in shirts with all white sleeves; reserves the rest. But then first team players like Madden, Perry and several others are wrong. The socks seem to be another mixture altogether looking at the front row! Judging by other pictures Ive looked at, and from memory, the official strip that year was the one with the narrow white cuff to the shirt sleeves and a red stripe at the side of the shorts.
