The hair suggests 1970s. Names? Year?

Hello Chris

Good to hear from you albeit in such sad circumstances.

The rugby ball is marked 1973/74 which would concur with the hairstyles.

I left in 1972 so cannot help with names.

All the best Andy Miller

Hello Andy,

Well spotted.

I hope your foot has recovered from when we last met at the Mid A reunion and that you are back to enthusiastic marching!

All the best

Chris

Middle row, numbers 2 and 3 are Andy Quest and Derek Cuff, I think.

The highest boy at the back, Julian Pinhay came to mind but could be wrong

(tallest boy, who appears to be in top row, is actually standing on left in the second row)

Top: Nick Elliot, Buster Howes, Julian Pinhay, Rory Farquhar-Thomson
Next: Martin Stroud, Andy Quest, Derek Cuff, Mark Lindsay-Bayley, Nick McInerny
Next: Ian Harris, Gerard Hall, ?, Paul Minchin, Steve Hall
Front: ?, Richard Pearey, ?, Andrew Bing

Year on the ball is correct 1973-74 season

Bottom left is Jeremy Dallyn, I think.

Could the faceless lad in the second row be John Cullen? That's my theory anyway.

Well done SPOON BALL. Your memory and brain seems to be still in good working order. I doubt you played against him though ! Part 2: I have just found out SPOONBILL ( AKA in real life Ben SWEENY) died last year. Farewell my anon friend, I enjoyed our comunications ! See you in the next life Marra, but hopefully in the same house.
