    Cory Gibbs lurking in there perhaps? Can't rule him out, I don't know what he looks like.

    I think that the player in the dark shirt standing behind the gaffer is Dai Astley.

    That was pretty easy

    No one was called Kieth, Steve or Paul in the old days.

    Those are 60s and 70s names

    Then, like now, men were called George, Fred, Bert, Harry, Joe or Badon
    Back Row: Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble & Grubb

    Think back row, 4th from the right is Wilson Lennox. Will check when I get home this evening.

    I also thought that might be Mr Lennox. I always remembered what he looked like cos he had really sticky-out ears! Mid you, a few of them in the pic do so we could be wrong!

    I think the player sat on the 'floor' on Norman Smith's side (our left) is Jack Horton.

    Back row second from the left - Jack Pugsley.
  • Paddy PowellPaddy Powell
    Dark shirt behind Norman Smith - Fred Whitlow

    Henry was right about the names.
  • Paddy PowellPaddy Powell
    Front row second from the right (dark shirt) is John Rankin (I've just seen the other photo and he's sat in the same place..).

    I think that's John Pitcairn sat next to him on the end, but I'm not 100% sure on that one. If it is him it helps date the picture as I don't think he joined until 1930(?).

    2nd row, 3rd from the Left is Spongfoot Spencer
  • MrLargoMrLargo
    Back row, fourth from the right is definitely Wilson Lennox. Got another picture of him here, playing against Man City, that might be of interest.
  • MrLargoMrLargo
    Wilson third from left here. Not sure who any of the others are.
  • MrLargoMrLargo
    This one's not in the best condition. Newspaper picture of Wilson scoring against Cardiff, I presume with the East Teraace looking on.
  • ricky_ottoricky_otto
    Front row, sitting on the end on the left. Looks like the bird one of my mates pulled last night.
  • Henry IrvingHenry Irving
    So guess where we found this picture?

    It looks like the same photo other than the two insets and the background changed but we now have the names.

    It was in the Museum storeroom

    Thanks to @jamesking93 and @charltonnick for finding it

    We're still no nearer to finding out the away shirt colours. Away programmes don't say, give it as red and while even when playing another team that plays in red or in one case blue shirts and white shorts

    Wilson Lennox's daughter is my mum's cousin. She doesn't know her that well but there's about twenty cousins that meet up for lunch once or twice a year. My mum told her her sons are Charlton supportersso she sent us the pictures with a Christmas card.

    Happy to scan them for you if you want them for the museum.

    Would love some scans, please @MrLargo

    If there is anything else in the family we'd love to have scans or photos of them too.

    No problem. On holiday at the moment, will sort out as soon as I'm back.

    I'll get my mum to find out if she's got anything else.
