I'll have a stab.
Back Row. Mike Yaxley, Terry Connor, Gary Howlett, Gerry Ryan, Giles Stille, Eric Young, don't know, don't know, Keiran O'Regan, Chris Ramsey, Glen Wilson.
Middle Row. George Aitken, Graham Pearce then I guess a load of youngsters that might include Glen Geard with the moustache.
Front Row. Don't know, Gordon Smith, Steve Foster, Jimmy Case, Tony Grealish, Jimmy Melia, Steve Gatting, Michael Robinson, Neil Smillie and then don't know the last two.

EDIT, second last could be Sammy Nelson although can't remember when he joined!

Nice symmetrical placement of the black players.

Would be interesting to see at what point clubs stopped doing that.

Could your second 'don't know' on the back row be Graham Pearce? And your second to last 'don't know' on the front is Sammy Nelson I reck. Don't recognise the middle goalie though.
