Oldest Morecambe Team Photo? (unless you know better!)

I don't know where this was unearthed but it's great to see. I don't expect anyone can put names to faces? From season 1920/21.

Is that a young Rod Taylor behind the goalie?

(I'm only asking)

Dimitar Berbatov playing in the sticks for us I see.

And Stew Drummond bottom row second from right.

Is JB Christie on this picture?

Oliver Hardy (of Laurel & Hardy for the youngsters) ....stood to the right of the second row.

And Swidz! between/behind last two, on the right side of the second row :lol:

Why so many directors??

Or did they just want a pic with all the crowd on this occasion?

Lovely pic though...

I'm no anthropologist but when you compare the older pictures of JB Christie to the team photo's there are a number of facial similarities to the chap over the left shoulder (right as you look at him) of the goalkeeper. I also not the round badge on the 1920 photo and later ones, could this be his "club president" badge. Maybe the chap with the triangular one is the club secretary. very traditional for sporting clubs to have such badges, like horse shows and town fayres. anyway just an idea.

Looks more like Tony Roberts to me! After all, surely he's old enough? :lol:

No. I think he's just passed his Cycling Proficiency Test.
