Old Goldstone Picture

[fosters headband]

I have just found this old picture taken in the late fifties to early sixties, which I have dated by the ladies scarf with the names Dennis Forman, Dave Sexton, Glen Wilson and Jack Bertolini. Is that lady possibly a young Liz Costa?

Anyone recognise any older relatives or friends. This was taken possibly a season or two after I first started going.

Can just imagine trying to get one of them there great rattles past the helpful Stewards.

They had clackers even then. Barber out.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Disgraceful to see just how many people have attended that game without a hat. Or a tie.

Standards already slipping, I see.

And a young Sarah Watts? But not if photo was 1950s

Sarah is younger than Liz.

Jack Bertolini's first season was our first in the old second division - 1958/9. Glen Wilson's last season as a player for us was 1959/60. Dave Sexton only had two seasons with the Albion, leaving in May 1959. Therefore, by a process of elimination I guess this picture was taken some time during the latter part of the 1958/9 season. Judging by the appearance of the crowd there doesn't seem to be a roof over them so they're probably on the east terrace, somewhere near the halfway line. I think it was always known as the "chicken run"! I used to stand with my dad and his mates in the north-east corner.
