I've just remembered they weren't Park Drive they were these monstrosities. Our assistant manager well he was one of the kids sons he was a 60 year old Scottish geezer unsurprisingly called Jock. Here's a good link to smoking the only ones I don't remember or smoked where Albany.

Thank your lucky stars they weren’t those Paddy fags, Major.

Every puff on one of those equals roughly a year off yer life

My old man smoked Irish fags called Sweet Afton far far worse than Major.

Yeah, Players Weights were lethal. They didn't have a filter, but they were my mum's choice until she succumbed to the Big C.

I think that's the longest I've ever seen Chopper's hair, perhaps he was trying to keep up with the young 'uns! 

 

Fat lot of good that session did. 

v Oxford 1975

Can anybody name the players please?

 Big Doug  certainly wasn't scared of Wimbledon or John Fashanu !

My guess would be Garner and Maybank.

Hudson outside his family home Upcerne rd, a young Tommy Langley and Arsenal away 1970.

Don't know if anyone can blow this up to get a clearer picture but it's been said that might be Matthew Harding bottom left. Palace 91-92.

Maybe Finnieston and Maybank. Haven't got a clue who the Stockport players are though!

Cheers bluehaze, been trying to work out our players.

 Loos like Old Trafford 1970 v Leeds, FA Cup Final Replay.

Arsenal try and get into the West Stand 87 pretty obvious who's who.

I thought it was Kenny Swain going for the ball, Bill Garner between the arm and leg of the other guy and Teddy Maybank.

Arsenal in the bottom half of the table there yet they won the double next season.

Only 14,000 odd at Sunderland v Spurs. Just shy of the record attendance at Upton Park, no doubt bolstered by Cockney Reds.

Talking of Cockney Reds, I see Banana Bobs got a book out. Very well known bloke Wimbledon/ Sutton way.

He said to me once “ I wouldn’t mind be called Bob the Wog if I was actually black”
