Strangely enough, just a year later, he wasn't needed.

Peter King, Ian Gibson, Don Murray, Brian Clarke, Gary Bell....hmmmm!
Got them Masky - I can also see Bobby Woodruff and Nigel Rees.
I seem to remember Mr Shankly commented on Mrs Toshack's blue coat, saying he would get her a red one, or something like that
All these years have passed and yet I'm still angry about selling Toshack when we did. He and Clarkie were scoring for fun and we were looking so good for promotion to the top flight. Why on earth didn't we wait until the end of the season? It often makes we wonder how the club's future would have been different had he stayed until we were promothed.

Who's the portly gent, back row, far right?
I played for Tongwynlais against Steve Derrett in Cardiff and District in mid 80's. I think he played for Bristol Street Motors. Can't remember the result. We must have won.
We have another 50th anniversary coming up on the 10th March 2021, one that none of us will ever forget

I think it’s John Parsons, the prolific Cardiff striker, at a lower level! Didn’t make much progress at senior level, son of Harry Parsons! My workmate was there that night!

I can recall seeing Parsons play only once. We beat Charlton 6.1 in 1971. He scored when a clearance rebounded in off his ar$e. Right place, right time.
He scored 6 times in 15 appearances from 1968 to 1973. Then went to Bournemouth, 1 goal in 8 appearances, before moving to Newport where he did much better. 23 goals in 60 appearances.

Was going to say a rather inflated Ronnie Bird who was left out of the starting 11 for Nigel Rees, but he may not have been around when that photo was taken.
I think that's big Jim Eadie far left at the back and is that Dave Carver sitting to Big Don's left side?
David Francis Carver (born 16 April 1944) is an English former professional footballer. During his career, he made over 300 appearances in the Football League most notably for Cardiff City where he made over 200 appearances and was part of the side that won the Welsh Cup on four occasions between 1968 and 1971. Carver began his career at his hometown club Rotherham United and after establishing himself in the squad he was signed by Jimmy Scoular, then manager of Cardiff City for a fee of £11,000 in January 1966. He made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Bury and eventually formed a strong full back partnership alongside Gary Bell. His only league goal for the club came on 17 October 1970 during a 2–2 draw with Leicester City. After spending six years at Cardiff he was loaned out for a short period at Swansea City before being allowed to leave and join Hereford United in 1973, where he spent one year before finishing his playing career at Doncaster Rovers.
