Spot on Willy Wombat with your call.
The 2nd one along is Jimmy Brown, Harry Gregory had been long gone to Hereford in 1972.

This was I believe the front of a  souvenir brochure produced for the league cup final with Norwich.
A similar brochure was produced for the 1971 final with Spurs. My Dad had a shop in Boldmere at the time and organised a raffle with  a football signed by all the players. To enter the raffle you purchased the brochure with a raffle ticket stapled to it, in amongst my programme collection I must still have about 80 of those souvenir brochures all with a staple hole in the corner. Also have some photos, certainly one of the ball being presented  to the lucky winner. Hope i still have them, if so I will try and look those photos out and post them sometime.
We had a number of the players turn up for the event, it was a carpet and furniture shop and my Dad would have probably let them have some stuff at trade price. I have recollections of sitting in the little office over the shop afterwards with my mom and dad and probably 4 or 5 of the players drinking tea and them chatting about the upcoming final. Chico Hamilton, Bruce Rioch and John Dunn definetely amongst them.

"Slogger" was centre half at Villa when I started in 1966. Along with Hateley he was one of the more accomplished players in a struggling side. Son of a dutch paratrooper he made the trip across to small heath, from memory I think it was for £45,000. Knee injuries forced him to retire at 28. I believe he lived round Birmingham after his playing days finished.  He lost his battle with leukemia and died aged 45 in 1989. RIP.
