Rest in Peace Mick Walker

Let's embed the image here for anybody who can't see it....




Paul Hooks made his first team debut about 3 years before Mick Walker joined the club I think, so it wouldn't make a great deal of sense for him to be there, but having said that - if it is McCulloch, he didn't play for Mick .

No ifs no buts that is John Balfour McCulloch

Comparing with old pics, I think it's safe to say Hooks is among them. The same shape of smile.

So that leaves two unidentified. I'm really not convinced that's Davies in the dark blue pullover, and who is the guy on the extreme right?

Definitely Darren Davis. Would never have recognised him, but if you do a Google Images search for Darren Davis Notts County, you'll find an image from his LinkedIn profile - he's now a Sales Manager. Good shout on Paul Hooks as well, again I'd never have recognised him.

Just leaves the mystery man on the right...absolutely no idea whatsover on this one.

The way he is standing off to one side at more of an angle, as opposed to lining up properly with the rest of them, suggests he might not have been a player but a member of the current staff.

Good point. Les Bradd slightly offset to the left too, and obviously on the current staff, so could be that they were bookending the ex-players who attended.

Elsewhere online, people are saying the guy on the right is called Steve Towle.

Mick Leonard, meanwhile, posted this on Facebook:

“I've just heard that the football club charged Mick Walker's wife Hillary 500 pounds for use of the suite for his wake. If this is indeed true the commercial department and anyone from the club who was involved with this should be ashamed of yourselves. Total disgrace.”

I would be astonished if this was true. It does occur to me that Mick Leonard had some bad blood with the club a few years ago, so maybe he's ready to believe the worst before checking the facts, bearing in mind there's a completely different regime now.

Mick's family will not have been forced to use the suite so whatever the arrangements were would have been mutually agreed beforehand and it is none of our business.
