Can't recall him (assuming it's a he??), we mainly got behind the sticks, about halfway up the terrace...............used to follow(escort) the away supporters to Midland Statioin afterwards, trying to avoid the Police horses of course.................

Can you pick anyone out in this old crowd photo? Taken at City Ground, could be cup winning year 1959, but think it is perhaps a few years later. The position of the shot was to the right of the old "Shippo's Ivor Thirst Score Board" on the side opposite the bench.

Bilboro-lad, re #11, Mrs Commo has just said the exact same thing before she read your post.

On the second row up, right hand side with the quiff and the light coloured jacket, I reckon that's my old mate Derek Shaw, went to BHGS with him and he lived on Wilford Hill and worked at the Guardian Royal Exchange in City House on Maid Marian Way.

If it is him, then the photo would probably have been around 1961 - 1962 just before we left school. (Of course, it could be a look alike.)
