Pre-season in those days. I was there and thrilled.The town (Rauma) where that match was played is located 30 miles south from my hometown (Pori) and naturally i was shouting for R`s! Here`s few picture from there if anyone wants to
Here’s two more pictures which i could not put in the first time. Was that player ,who is lie down in the bottom picture, Gordon Hill?
Great shout, Igor. Who’s gonna help me name the team? Back row (L-R): Gillard, Currie, Goddard, Pape, Hucker, Fereday(?), Wicks, Roeder, #5, Hazell(?) Front row (L-R): Hill(?), Burke, Stewart, McCreery, #11 I’m ashamed to say that a combination of time and the quality of the picture has me stumped for now. Others will be much faster.
Which # do you have as Fereday? I talked myself out of that being Big Bob as another picture has the same player wearing the #9, which confused me.
McCreedy#10 and Hill #11 Fereday is not in the picture Dean Neal is between Hucker and Wicks and Dean Wilkins is second from the righ (back row)
I thought it might have been Fereday between Hucker and Wicks. Or kneeling at the right. But Igor says no. I’m sure it’s Bob though.
Front row left to right: Waddock, Burke, Stewart, McCreedy, Hill Back row left to right: Gillard, Currie, Goddard, Pape, Hucker, Neal, Wicks, Roeder, Wilkins, Hazell
I see, Jackie Pallo was one of the most famous TV wrestlers in the 60s, his unusual name may have Finnish origins... Says it all that you would have any of those players in today's team without exception...
