Albion squad photo 2013-14 - Will Hoskins photoshopped in?

[AZ Gull]

On August 3rd, the Argus published a pre-season supplement which included a squad photo. It included 25 players; the only first-team member absent was Will Hoskins (another miss by Hoskins). This is part of the photo:-



Today, the official site is advertising the squad photo being available for purchase on seagullspics. This one shows 26 players; as if by magic, Hoskins has now appeared at the end of the second row:-



The photos ARE different (taken from slightly different angles) but a close inspection of hand and feet positions, and facial expressions, suggests they must have been taken in very close proximity. It seems Hoskins has been digitally added.

Of course, the club has previous in this regard; older fans may recall the squad photo on the front of the programme during 1980-81, which had a comically-added Michael Robinson. And we shouldn't forget the 1986-87 effort, when Dean Saunders brought along an extra little chap to be included in the photoshoot.

Well played, AZ.

And how about 1974/75 when they added a statue of the head of Ernie Machin to one of the stands...?

Very realistic, I'm sure.

Hoskins appears to be the only one wearing gainers instead of football boots, from what I can see.

Didn't Peter Beagrie once appear in our team photo only for the transfer to fall through and he moved to another club?

Thought Hoskins looked shopped in when I saw the picture last night but assumed there was no way it would happen..

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Please, if anyone got the original Mickey Thomas and friend photo to post it?

For all of deanos artistry on the pitch his time with us is mainly remembered for a picture of his cock.

I didn't see that in his autobiography.
