I got this photo from EBay, it has a plain back save where someone in pencil has written "Gordon Hurst and Tommy Dawson read the headlines", and this is allegedly after their Cup Final celebrations and the 2 players are waiting for a bus with their suitcases.

Now, that's either great knowledge or amazing guesswork.

Firstly, this is Gordon Hurst and it's not him in the photo:

(Thank you, Mr Getty)

But I reckon it could be Chris Duffy reading the paper:



As regards Tommy Dawson (left), it's possible



So what are your thoughts? I took a flyer on this as either it's a fantastic and evocative photo of 1947 footballers, or it's a bit of guesswork and could be pretty far-fetched.
