Photo of Kop 1970

whitham scored 2 goals so he was playing .....sissons hadnt signed(1-8-70) when this match was played(25-4-70).i'm not sure its smith either but he played the last 12 games of that season at left back so he could be playing in the same team as wilcockson   

Other than the fact that the picture looks nothing like Smith.

that is exactly the view i had (from lower lep) when i first started going as a wee boy !

Is the cameraman on the pitch!! I spose they had zoom lenses even in the dark ages.

Did the man in the scoreboard hut have an S, a pile of H's and a T? 

Looking it up, the team is given as

Grummitt, Wilcockson, Megson, Eustace, Ellis, Craig, Sinclair, Young, Warboys, Whitham, Coleman and Mobley came on as a sub.

Scorers: Whitham (15,85) and Warboys (88)

There looks about 10k on the Kop there.

I reckon the player on the left is Alan Warboys

iirc i Was at QPR when wilcockson scored a screamer and we lost 8-2

megson, eustace and mobley  must have been guesting then as they wer,nt at the club then.......

flip me! They were on the tax fiddle then aswel!

Bet there's 50k in the ground by looks of crowd?

Apparently,the player on the left is Don Megson.

the difficult guy to identify, I think is Megson.

Probably guesting (left in march '70) as he did play a lot of games at the same time as Gerry.

i wouldnt go that high but it was a testamonial and if they can fiddle the figures it gives more to the player (young) without him having to declare everything to the taxman .

Look at the space on the RHS and lower AND LHS of Kop.

Not many in the South what we can see.

Can't be certain but that looks a lot like Alan Warboys on the left of the pic.
