Who is the City player in the background, Roy Cheetham?
 
The colours in this photo are brilliant.

I can identify all of the City players, apart from the one, whose head is between Best'arm and body. Does anyone know who it is?

It doesn't look like Heslop or Pardoe so I'd guess Bobby Kennedy who definitely played in that game.
 
I think it's Bobby Owen taking the shot

Owen was playing instead of Tony Coleman and Kennedy was covering for the injured Tony Book.

Otherwise it was the regular City line-up from the last few games of 67-68.
Yeah, you’re right.

I don’t remember either Kennedy or Owen, and I often confuse them.
