Not seen this picture before. (Click on it to enlarge)
31 players and 22 others.
Off the top of my head I reckon I can name 25 players and 9 others.

I have no idea of the two either side of Hateley.
The three to the front left are Roberts, Baker, Rudge.

I think the one to the left of Hateley is Wilson Briggs.

Isn't Wilson Briggs with Gordon Lee and Charlie Aitken ?

It's 1965 and it's still the 2-3-5 WM formation.
Lew Chatterly and Slogger are two of the centre halves.

At the front of the extreme right hand group of 3 it is Johnny McLeod.
To Phil Woosnam's left (the right as we look at it) that is Lionel Martin.
Behind the McLeod trio the bald headed guy in the centre of that group is Manager Dick Taylor. With I think trainer Bill Baxter at his left shoulder.

I'm not getting the full picture then Nelson because I would know Dick Taylor and both Johnny McLeod and Lionel Martin.

John Gavin the other goalkeeper with Withers.
Tony Scott with Park and Inglis ?
Barry Stobart and Lionel Martin either side of Woosnam.
Johnny McLoed bottom right but I dont know who is either side of him.

The five directors on the right are Normansell, Smith, Heath, Lovesey and possibly Buckley ?
On the other side I recognise Dick Taylor, Bill Baxter and Johnny Dixon.
I don't think Alan Bennett is there, as I think he took over as Club Secretary from Fred Archer who is in the middle of the back left hand group.

What's the date for this, please? This is from my earliest times at the Villa. I remember Charlie Aitken living down the bottom of our road (Orchard Road) and Tony Hateley arguing with me about my football being one of the Villa's whilst they trained at Grange Road.

Just seen the 1965 date! I would have been 10 or 11.

That round neck kit is my favourite. Sadly they mostly look like sacks of spuds in it..

On another note I'd have bet a squillion quid on Scott not joining the club until we'd hit the second division in 67, but I'd have lost the lot!
