Is it Alun Evans signed from Liverpool in 1972?

Good effort but think Evans was bigger?

Are you thinking of Alan Evans? Alun was from a Wolves then pool and was quite small.

No, was excited by Alun’s signing but he never fulfilled his potential, possibly as a result of a vicious assault inflicted on him in a Wolverhampton nightclub. And we still ain’t got the guy last but one on the right. Think there’s only me and thee playing this game, mate.

GP&U I think I have tracked down the blond lad....I think it is John Griffiths who I believe only played 1 senior game for us, but if anyone knows different please let us know.

I think that’s a great shout, pal. Now, who’s last but one on the right?

Wow 63 - that's a damned good bit of work. I reckon you are bang on - joined in Nov 68 and left in May 70. Born in Oldbury.

Another top notch spot that 63 - very impressed.

Got to dig out my old programmes and cheat to get this one - so many memories flooding back though - just spine tingling.

Great isn’t it? Think me, thee, Villa63, Villa67, TH and all the other regulars should book our spots in an Old Codgers Home together. I’ll order the rugs for our laps......

At least we will be able to look back with some pride and many proud and fond memories. Let's hope the younger ones of today have the same when they reach our ages!

Is it not Mick Wright the full back?

Could be '63 - he would have been around 23 when that picture was taken, just looks a bit young to me, shorter hair. So I will throw in Doug George

Well saidRemembering the late Villa player and manager Vic Crowe who sadly died on this day (21st Jan) 10 years ago.
He was a thoroughly decent man.
