Shame about the watermark, but:

That shirt !!

Interesting, isn't it, how all the photos you see of Franny and Colin, whether team or otherwise, they're never actually standing next to each other. There's always at least one person between them, often Buzzer. Just really incompatible temperaments, I think. Didn't stop them from playing brilliantly together, of course.

Colin Bell was in a very close friendship group with Alan Oakes,Glynn Pardoe & Mike Doyle.

I don't think it was an outtake. I have the same version and I think it was the only one published. Team photos in those days were more relaxed than they are now. I remember a Millwall pic at that time with Eamonn Dunphy sat on the front row with his left bollock hanging out of his shorts.

Just talks bollocks now

Love Swales me. His minutes silence was absolutely marvellous. A few years earlier he had been getting absolute dogs abuse. A city legend!

Who could but warm to that winning smile (the only winning he did btw!), that oh-so stylish hair-do and that amazing almost miraculous ability to turn a silk purse into a sows ear..!?

apparently he was in the Guinness Book of Records for scoring 14-trillion goals for Bolton Schoolboys or some such feat... some good goals for us but never quite cut it did he?

Huth and Morgan were given free reign to do that at corners all season

Free REIN, if you please

The first ever photo/souvenir my aunty bought me one December in 1965 from what was the only city souvenir shop…the front room of a terraced house on Upper Lloyd St. Remember being upset that Cliff Sear wasn’t on it
