    It worked! Photo is from mid 60s. The old geezer in the middle is my grandad who was groundsman at the time. Took me to my first games as a youngster in late 60s.

    Billy, my first instinct was it was Johnny Graham, I`m sure he wore his shirt like that, although I think Johnny Hamilton wore it outside his shorts too a lot of the time - you could be right, it could be Hammy. The guy I think might be Billy McEwan is facing the camera between McBride & Cormack. I can`t see Eric Stevenson in the photo !!

    I`m still not sure al, I think you & Billy are probably right, but they have a similarity and the length of the hair is more Johnny Graham. I thought I`d be able to tell them apart but with that photo I`m struggling a wee bit.

    My auld grandad reckoned that if you lay on the ground at the half way line you would just see the crossbar ie an 8 foot drop. Not sure if true but had no reason to doubt him. Edit...just realised you were talking about the photo lol.
