[Albion] Old Squad Photo from 1982/83. Could you help identify the players?

Thanks!

 

[Is it PotG?]

[LamieRobertson]

Ps...i’d Like to know who’s having a crafty fag at the back on the right

I was just typing that third from left at the front was Mickey "Does You Mrs Know You're Here?" Thomas, perhaps the biggest back to front ever to stain this great club. Younger readers need to conjure up a Ryan Harley / Leon Best hybrid with the mustache of a child molester and a thumb print on the forehead that could only have been administered by an angry ladyboy.

The middle row is:-

George Aitken, John Collins (Coach), Neil McNab, Andy Ritchie, Sammy Nelson, Graham Moseley, Unknown goalkeeper, Perry Digweed, Steve Foster, Gordon Smith, Tony Grealish, Mike Yaxley (Physio) and Brian Eastick (Assistant Coach).

I'll work on the top row, but [MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] will be able to assist.

Is Glen Geard in there?

 

[TomandJerry]

Don't know about anyone else but the chap on the top right looks like his arse is on fire!

Thanks AZ. Hope you are keeping well. Have you seen this image before?

Annoyingly, only the top right portion of it, in the Argus in an article about Brian Eastick! So I'm absolutely delighted you posted it!

Do you have a similar one from the 1981-82 season with the full squad? Again, I've only seen a poor quality version that was in the Argus a while back.

A cup tied Terry Connor?

OMG!! Is that the South Stand on fire again?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Chris Ramsey, Gary Howlett, Giles Stille and Graham Pearce (I think) are in the back row.

Oh no. I did not know that existed.

That must be a photo pre season of 82/83 as Bailey left in late 82 I thought.
