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.

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.

Oh no. I did not know that existed.
