And worn at a rakish angle. When we used to go to football together (at another place) he always wore a fur hat. Kept it for years but it got thrown out unfortunately.
I don't know if you know who those players are Henry, but I've spent a bit of time looking and I reckon it's as follows:
B1 ?? B2 Bert Tann B3 Jack Shreeve B4 Sam Bartram B5 Henry Mordey B6 Don Welsh B7 Jimmy Trotter F1 Monty Wilkinson F2 George Robinson F3 George Tadman F4 Jimmy Seed F5 Les Boulter F6 Sailor Brown F7 John Oakes
That being the case it's the same team that played away to Villa on 3rd December 1938. I haven't checked thoroughly, but it seems doubtful that we'd have fielded exactly the same XI on another date. That wasn't the team for the away game of the famous run of cup matches and Villa were a division below us for the two previous seasons. Assuming it is that game, this squad was famous for conceding what was at the time the fastest ever league goal; timed at 9.6 seconds.
Wow @milo where did those come from and can the museum borrow them?
I’ve got the original plans for the proposed West Stand. My dad was given them back in the nineties, he knew the architects. They’ve been in a box in my house for nearly twenty years.
They’re a bit battered but I’m fine to donate them to the museum. You’ll have to give them back in the very unlikely event that one of my brothers asks me for them because I suppose they’re not just mine to give, I’m not sure how I ended up with them after my dad died.
I’ll try to post some of the other pictures up here.

"You never see Jacko doing these runs, have his legs gone?"
"So you have Four defenders, two halfbacks, three inside forwards and a centre forward. I call it the 4-2-3-1 formation. I tell you, it's the future"
Just a few of the photos donated by Monty Wilkinson's son. Monty is far left, front row.

Nice hat @JamesSeed and Jimmy Trotter

How do I get them to the museum?
