Not forgetting Sammy Morgan, John Robson, Bobby McDonald, and you can just see Jimmy Brown poking his curly head into the picture.
I will also have a guess that it's Fred Pedley the physio just above Gidmans head.

Can't have been too many times when Ron and Giddy were next to one another and smiling at the same time!

My first time at Wembley and apologies for comments that already may have gone. Bobby McDonald was my man of the match, but that penalty from my hero Ray Graydon, what a keeper Kevin Keelan was

I think that photo is from the town hall celebrations on the Sunday midday and not inside Wembley. I didn't go into town as that was when the highlights were shown on itv and no such things as videos in those days so it was my only chance to watch the game. My mom and sisters went though.

It's John "Pop" Ward, who was the club's general factotum and lucky mascot.
