Title: Those were the days
Post by: Highlander on May 11, 2011, 12:04:37 PM: For members of a certain age, I thought it might be fun to see how many faces you can identify in this grainy photograph which was in last Saturday's Ross County v Cowdenbeath Programme.

I don't suppose you'll recognize many of the County players but how about the rest, particularly the following:

Front Row:
2nd from Left looking at the photograph
4th from Left looking at the photograph
6th from left looking at the photograph
8th from left looking at the photograph
10th from left looking at the photograph

Back Row:
2nd from right looking at the photograph

Post by: tinkerman on May 11, 2011, 12:24:58 PM: and what sport?

Post by: ColinT on May 11, 2011, 12:42:27 PM: I think can see Danny McGrain, Bobby Lennox, and Lou Macari in the front. Not sure about the other 2. Is that KD in the back row?

Post by: Highlander on May 11, 2011, 12:43:29 PM: Scunner - giving the year would be a big, big clue.

Tinkerman - I should have known you wouldn't recognise football when you saw it.

Post by: Scunner on May 11, 2011, 13:09:21 PM: I asked because I too saw Lou Macari in the front row, but the feel of the photo seemed a bit too old for it to be. I didn't want to look a fool :D

Post by: usedbustickets on May 11, 2011, 20:25:55 PM: Year might be difficult date to as it looks like the picture has been 'doctored' to me - different heads put on a actual bodies in the original shot.[^]

Even if I am right about the doctoring, the identity of the second player on the left, front row is, and you'll excuse the pun, is certainly doing my head in. And I think you are right about Macari, but I thought he only played for Celtic, and if that is Dave McKay front middle, I thought he was a Hearts man before heading south to that backwater of english football (aka White Hart Lane).

We'll at least I've put my head up over the parapeet

Post by: Highlander on May 11, 2011, 20:56:07 PM: I have no idea why you would think that the photograph had been doctored :o:-\. See Extract from programme.

The date was August 1970, ColinT was correct with all his suggestions as was Scunner with Lou Macari. Not Charlie Adams badger

Well if that's not been doctored then some of those boys didn't have much neck, but do have larger heads. 3 and 6 from the left on the front row are case in point. No ?? I'll get me glasses then..

Post by: Highlander on May 12, 2011, 08:26:29 AM: The clues are in the date, August and the location, Dingwall. They are haunched up against the cold. ;)

I guess that is the answer, August in Dingwall is practically mid winter for any of us enjoying more southern climes:D

Post by: Scunner on May 12, 2011, 11:53:50 AM: Yes and the tallest one in the back row is without doubt Ian Botham.

No it's not Troy Tempest, if you look more closely you'll sse that he is the villian from Thunderbirds called The Hood, but in this episode he is wearing a syrup:P

Lol BMO6 - actually he was one of the nicest men you could meet. Deaf and dumb but never had a problem communicating. Sadly no longer with us.

I only just noticed that most of the men in the stand appear to be wearing suits, collars and ties.
