How many can you name ?

This is the 1974 official youth team 'photo . . . . how many do you recognise (I didn't get many, and I haven't got the answers)

 

Tim Gilbert, Gary Rowell, Kevin Arnott and Shaun Elliott...thats as much as I can do Also looks like Richie Pitt there as well

 

Is that Mick Docherty top left?

 

I think that’s Tim Gilbert

 

To think we could produce 5 first team regulars from that youth team from an area confined to Felling down to Seaham about a 10 mile radius? Now we can't even score never mind win a game.
Edit. I know Shaun Elliott is from Haydon Bridge, but you get what I mean

 

Seen them no Pitt
But don’t know the rest

 

What a great set of mullets

 

4 in from right bottom
Jimmy Hamilton

 

I only recognise Rowell being in my mid 30's it's a bit before my team, but what a cracking set of barnets!

 

Might that be Peter Stronarch on the left of the front row ?

 

I recognise some but can’t put a name

 

Was Trevor Swinburn/Swinbourne our reserve keeper around then?
Have vague memories of him looking like the keeper on the right of the two.

 

I don't recognise either of them as being him (or anybody that I might know)

Having said that, he did have hair like him on our right

 

Swiinburne was older than that group and had played for our first team as deputy for Monty before that picture was taken.

 

I know Trevor it’s not him

 

I recognise the usual Rowell, Arnott, Elliott and Gilbert. Someone mentioned Stronach bottom left and I think that may be right. Other names I can think of around that time would be Bobby Park, Hamilton, Tones, Coady(?), Henderson. But no idea of they're on that picture.

By a quirk of fate someone has just posted the first team squad on RTG of the 73/74 season and Stronach is on it and looks different to the one we thought was on here. Henderson and Hamilton are also on it and not on this one.

 

Could only recognise Tim Gilbert, Garry Rowell and Shaun Elliot, knew Kevin Arnott and Micky Henderson would be in that group but cant spot them unless its Hendo on the left end of front row. Topping photo and a very good youth team and some great memories.

 

They look older that the current side and it’s the youth team!!!

 

Keith Waugh is the goalie on the right.

 

Well all have the same hairstyle in the next few weeks
