After seeing thread with the Goldstone pics, reminded me of this picture, think it's the team of 78 but i'm sure i'll be corrected if wrong. Wonder how many old squad photo's lying around in peoples lofts or cupboards?

Brilliant photo! Moseley's yawn caught on camera.... :lol:

Must have been Summer 1979 as it features Martin Chivers and Steve Foster.

By the way, what's with the left hand side of the photo?

Nice one! :smile: By the way, how did you acquire the photo?

Was given to me by a family member who didn't appreciate it, as he is a chelsea fan i took it to a far better place and now hopefully will be hung somewhere at home, but this family member trained with albion at some point but never went on to play pro?

Something struck me about the 73-74 picture, other than the fact that it is probably the season before I started following the Albion, why do some players have white collars on their shirts and the others blue?

NSC's Freddie Goodwin may have an answer. I don't know.

What a great name our reserve goalie had, Grenville Millington. Marvellous!

I love the fact that there are 2 different shirt designs in the 73-74 picture - not only are the collars different but the stripes are wider and the blue slightly deeper on the white-collared shirt.

No idea why the shirts were different but Albion finished up using the white collers & cuffs for that season.

I believe Grenville millington had quite a career with Swansea but never really made it with Albion.

Great pics BTW. The one of the 71/72 flair team is an end of season rather than pre-season pic.

I found this broadsheet pullout from the Daily Express in the 1960s featuring 'Brighton's Soccer Men'. Unfortunately, it was already creased - but I've scanned it in for your perusal. Any idea what year this was?

And - yes! - manager Freddie Goodwin in colour!
