Name the player

just been sent thus great picture by my son from someone he's met in NZ. Trying to pin down who it is. My head says its Ivor broadis. Though owner of the pic says its 1947, which rules it out. Might be Ernie Phillips, but he didn't play as #2 vs The Rags in the nearest Derby. Any offers?

Bert Sproston - Ten years before I was born but the history section has Bert at No 2 in the only game v the rags in 1947. Looks like his picture in the history section too.

Yeah, I looked at that, not convinced it's Sproston though, look on google images, Sproston is a ginger with curly hair! I wonder if the date was wrong and it was a later date with another player. Also I guess was Bert captain? As this would be the captains handshake I guess

1947 ? Just bring that ref's hair down at the front .Looks like someone escaped from the bunker. And is that one of those swastika badges on his lapel ?
