This might be a daft question, but why is this a rare picture?

Because it’s not been put on the internet until today, nor is it in any Albion books, and it has not been published in any posters, magazines or matchday programmes.

If you can name the 3 on the bench in the background, I doff my cap! :)

From the left in the white t-shirt is "Sid" the Albion groundsman his real name was Frankie Howard
He along with kit man Glen Wilson both played in the team that got promoted in 1958
The other two were John Sepherd (centre) and Micky Fogden they were Albions youth team managers back in the early eighties
