Old Albion Squad Photos - please me help name the players!

[Goldstone Rapper]

This is a bit before my time, so will appreciate help on this....

Also, any idea about the season?

(The original Squad Photos thread is in Other Stuff at the moment,
Old Squad Photos - Page 8
so I thought I'd start a new one).

Front row, 3rd left.....Peter Crouch?

 

[The Large One]

I could name a few, but I just want to say I LOVE THAT PICTURE. Great quality considering it's over 40 years old.

I think Alex Dawson being in it dates it to 1969-70.

While you're there, any possible chance you can supply me with a high res version of that photo of Steve Foster getting head treatment by Mike Yaxley against Wolves that you once posted on NSC? Thanks, if you can!

Brian Powney, John and Kit Napier, Howard Wilkinson, Alex Dawson, Eddie Spearitt, for starters

Unlikely. It came from an archive which I no longer have access to.

That squad...

Powney, Gall, Bell, Napier (J), Gilliver(?), Turner (?) Wilkinson, Sidebottom
Henderson, Unknown, Unknown, Lawton, Dawson, Napier (C), Spearitt

 

[Sir Norman Gull]

Alan Gilliver next to John Napier.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Is 3rd from left Willie Bell?

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

About 1969/70 I reckon

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

That's the Spearitt, Eddie.

 

[The Large One]

How many of that lot are still going?

I know Nobby Lawton is no longer with us. I hope all the others are fine and dandy.

Edit: I see Geoff Sidebottom died three and a half years ago.

 

[cunningplan]

Mostly been said
Brian powney, norman gall, willie bell, john napier, ?, dave turner, howard Wilkinson, geoff Sidebottom
Stewart Henderson, bobby smith, ?, nobby Lawton, alex dawson, kit napier, eddie spearitt

1967-68

 

[cunningplan]

... oh that's it

Gilliver in the back row, Dave Armstrong in the front (where I put ?)

Alex Dawson started playing for the Albion in 1968-69 so it's either that season or the one after...

 

[cunningplan]

... mmh - maybe 68-69, rather than 9-70.....

Brighton & Hove Albion 1969 Football Picture

I think that settles it!

But, flicking through Tim Carder's book, if Alan Gilliver is in it would mean it's 1969-70...
