Pete’s Picture Palace

Just a bit of fun.....

I know who this is - but do you, in the early stages of his career? Have a guess. Someone may know straight away, you are a knowledgeable lot. But let's see.

One of you guys sold him to me so please don't say anything!

i thought it was Lee Sharpe-had a look about him to me, do not think Torquay ever played in stripes though Sherlock

You're about 25 years out and too far West!

Yes i know this is a guy from the 1970's but as i say he had a look of Lee Sharpe at the end of his career-anyway at least i made an effort.

Huddersfield Town player who also played for Yorkshire CCC?

At this point i will not make any more predictions as they are as good as my score forecasting-ask Sharrow-he says i am hapless and he is not wrong! Laughing

Thank you Leslie, as you say, at least you made the effort. No cricketing connection as far as I'm aware.

No guesses from me sadly Pete.
His face has a familiar look about it, but I'm stumped tbh.

(I'm notoriously terrible with faces at the best of times, my own boyhood heroes could walk past me in the street and I wouldn't recognise them)

Regarding the team though, I thought Stoke initially - but then thought your answer about "too far West" to Leslie was a bit of a clue.
So I'm thinking Southampton?

No, Wiggy, but that's all I can say. Thanks for your reply.

I had this photo for 3/4 days, no name on back, and even though I knew which team it was, it didn't dawn on me that it was this particular player and then the seller confirmed it was him.

Probably a stupid guess but is it Malcolm Allison

How about Tony Hateley?

(although the striped shirt means its prob not)

Neither Big Mal nor Big Tony I'm afraid - although this guy was also "Big".

A slim Ron Saunders?
