Help me out with this one from the OM sad report on Shuk's dementia:

I reckon that is Dick Lucas, Geoff Bray, Roy Burton (hidden), John Fleming and Max Briggs with presumably Dave Roberts to the right.
But who's the hairy guy on the far left, and the tall one in the doorway??

Edit - could the latter be Rod Smithson?
Jimmy Light far left.
 
It is indeed Jimmy Light. Thanks. Who could ever forget his own goal at Burnden Park when he chipped the ball over Burtie from the half way line about five minutes into the match.
Wow, that would have been something to see! ?

I’d say it is John evanson but the player by the door isn’t max Briggs. Brian heron is a good shout though.

Definitely Jimmy Light. Then its Lucas, Bray, Burton(hidden) Heron, Briggs, McCulloch(in doorway) Roberts on right.

Would probably buy one of those ^ (now) retro trackie/ zip-up training tops , yellow with navy blue trim, should they ever become available

Yep you’re right, just googled him, great story on tinternet from an old schoolmate of his about his goal at old Trafford, I’d put it on here if I knew how.
 
Remember going to Old Trafford in a cup replay, Bray got our goal we lost 3-1
There side included Best and Charlton etc
I have a few newspaper clippings of that game, if I think about it next week will take them to work, scan them and see about posting them up.

Here's the goal, diving header. Not sure if that's Evo or Steve Aylott watching on but it's Wee Davey Sloan ducking out of the way. Probably Ken Skeen far right, might be Shuker.
Their front line was Best, Law, Charlton and Storey-Moore.
Ours was Sloan, Skeen, Cassidy and Bray. Happy Days.
