Name the players ?/Picture board

[whiteswan]

Sprake bending over.....me thinks anyway because if he stands up he'll be quite tall

[The Subhuman]

Seems a bit tall for Bates - Could be Yorath or Sprake. The mop in front of Madeley could be Giles or Bates.

Yorath was 5'10 according to a few places

[Gino 1959]

Wonder how easily names would spring to mind 10/20/30 years hence with a picture of the current lot?

When footballers had to catch a train to away matches

David Harvey , Giles , Jones and Terry hibbitt.

Indeed Paddy

Terry only made 60+ appearances in his eight years at ER

After leaving Leeds Hibbitt went onto play 350+ games for Newcastle & Birmingham over the rext ten years. Sadly Terry lost his life to cancer at the age of 47yo

Looking at the destination boards on the station I’d say they’d played in Manchester and we’re catching the 11.47 to Newcastle getting off at Leeds City. Any thoughts on the year?

Guessing 1971 or 1972 Rich

Dunno about that Rich, as there was no direct line from Skipton to Manchester in those days, not even sure if there is now...

All I remember is that I used to catch the train from Skipton every half term and end of term, and the direct train was to Leeds, and the indirect was to change at Shipley.

Great photos . I did a bit of research into the first picture and apparently it was taken in Sunny Hill Park , Hendon , on 5th May 1972 , the day before the cup final .

I’ve done a bit more research on the railway station photo and according to my train loving father he’s certain it’s Manchester Victoria and the line to Skipton closed in February 1970 so this would suggest the photo was from before that date. He added that Stalybridge was the first stop on the line to Leeds, York etc

[The Subhuman]

Yes, all well and good but what type of railway carriage is it?

The plot thickens.....

So that rules out Terry Cooper as he broke his leg in April 1972

There’s 14 players plus Revie and Cocker . Sprake certainly travelled down as part of the squad for the cup final so I think it’s probably him bending down .
