Wonder what happened
Players who played for the first team that season and weren't in that match that I haven't ruled out included Keith Masefield , Frank Pimblett, Bobby McDonald & John Overton.

Keith Masefield, that is a name I had totally forgotten. Thought he was going to be a real good player

My Nan didn't have photo frames of uncle so and so or cousin this or that. She had Brian Little. Andy Gray was there too, later. Quality. Posey Close by the reservoir.
I remember it well!

I may be mixed up here, but am I right in remembering coming back from FA Cup game midweek on a freezing night at Notts County after winning 6-0 to be told sir Ron had left the club. I was back there ten days later and we lost 1-0 if I recall correctly.

Is it Mike Pejic next to Andy Gray?

The more I think about it, I am sure I remember it during the Villa v Blues game of the Championship season - the camera panned to Withe on the bench suspended sure Ron had his blanket on.

When Geddis scored a couple then.

He left the following month.

I thought it was John Overton but he was playing for the reserves at Albion that day (presumably 3.00 ko) so it looks like it is Frank Pimblett, who wasn't in action.
