    Talking of Bonzo, his Wikipedia page needs updating as the season stats are missing for his Charlton years.

    I think John Baber and Alan Fagan could be there. Both spent a fair amount of time with Margate after Charlton.

    Looks like Alex Mitchell, 4th from left front row, but I could be wrong.

    Frank Hill was sacked IIRC in the summer of 1965 so this dates the photo to before then, possibly the summer of 1964.

    Stewart Scullion is probably there too then. If I remember correctly he was transferred to Watford about 1965.

    Around the time of that photo 

    FA Youth Cup team v West Ham - February 1966




    Thanks for the above Shirty.
    One of the 4 names for CAFC I hadn't heard of was John Salmon: he didn't have a professional career and mainly played in the Essex league including being manager of a team in Brentwood called Herongate Athletic. Apparently he was/is a West Ham fan and the best player he stated he played against was Trevor Brooking which was this game.
    The West Ham goalkeeper on the team sheet ended up playing over 500 games for Reading despite being just 5’ 7” - remember him, perhaps due to his surname, from my early football supporting days.
    Didn't he spell it De'Ath or somesuch?

    No, he was very much Steve Death, pronounced in the context of, err, death (the act of being deceased).

    I thought I saw him doing his pre-match stretches once; looked like Death warmed up.

    If Ray Elliott is there Ray Keeley will be too. They joined Exeter together when Jock Basford took over as manager there. Cliff Myers was also in the cohort that joined Exeter so could also be in the photo.

    I don’t mean to be disrespectful, and I know there are lots of examples of people back in the 60s and 70s looking older than they were, but this is a youth team photo, right?

    I mean, really? He looks like a 40 year old who’s been working down the mines all his life!

    Well, quite. Good footballer.
    Still, looks older in this photo than when he was a senior player!
