Must be the Coach driver - they all wore uniforms in those days.dicktracey said:more importantly who is the bloke in the white uniform holding an egg or golf ball ?
Reckon he's holding a boiled egg, with Jimmy holding some of our Doris's packed lunch boxes. She doubled up as a nuitrionist in the '50s.1 -

Not sure we have enough strength in depth either.1 -
And all got the same colour boots.1

Yes, that's Jock .... James Campbell ... born in East Kilbride and died in Cambridge.soapboxsam said:Dave Rudd said:Getty Images lists 'James Walls' as second from the left in the back row.

And thanks to you Dave, I now know Jock Campbell is sitting in the front row two from the left as we look at the picture.
Might see if I can find his grave.
Now there's a morbid hobby.1 -

Is that a youthful Charlie Hall in the middle of the back row?Dave Rudd said:Getty Images lists 'James Walls' as second from the left in the back row.

I knew it would come to this ... three weeks of 'is that XXX?' and 'who is that next to XXX?'
I'll get the ballrolling:
Jack Shreeve is three along from Jimmy Trotter (who is on the extreme left of the middle row)
And that may be Benny Fenton on the far right of the back row.
I have others, but I won't spoil the fun.2 -

One secretary of the FA standing next to his brother, a future Palace manager next to him.
A Squib far left front row next to Campbell, A Jewish South African who changed his name to avoid Anti-semitism and ended up sounding Irish two to the left of Sam and a shoplifter next to him while there is a relation of our current shirt sponsors middle row 4th left.0 -
