Back row

Are the 3 on the right on a lower bench than those on he left?

They must be because Paul Jones was as tall as a giraffe.

Also, shouldn't Charlie Wright be on there?

Pic would have been pre-season 70/71

Wright signed 71, apparently

Used to live on our estate in Little Lever in the 1960's. Duxbury Avenue to be exact. Didnt realise he was still at the club in 1970. Me and a few mates used to sneak up to his front window and stare at him watching telly.

To be fair he always did his best. 100%. He just wasn't very good.

Ah, reet. Cheers.

Does anyone remember a guy called Alan Parkinson? He was in the youth team /reserve side that spawned Jones, Whatmore, Reid etc.

He reckons to have been about at that time

Vaguely. Did he play in same team as Pete Olinyk?

I still can't believe that Laville cost us £2.5m?

The only link I can find says £500k - http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0,,1 ... 55,00.html

Did we pay more?

In terms of disappointment I would throw Robbie Elliott in there. A couple of Toon fans I knew were outraged when they sold him to us as they were expecting great things from him. Breaking his leg on his home debut robbed us of the player we should have had but Colin Todd called him his biggest disappointment in his time as manager.

Here's another source that agrees with you Milord. http://www.footballtransfers.co.uk/prof ... ille/6553/
Note also the rumours below up to 1.2 million.

Strange things happen in transfers, like selling Per Frandsen to Blackburn for 2m and buying him back the following year for 1m.

He did, Zulu. Parky was a Right Back who broke his leg badly and never really recovered. I used to work with him. Great guy, although you couldn't get the ball off the little c*nt in five-a-side.

That'll be him

He tells folk he's an ex-player but I can never find anything to support his claim

Late 60s he would've been playing, I guess

Oh, so now you're quite happy with the Bourne Identity?

I'm really sorry but if it wasn't me then it'd have only been someone else!
