Is Peter Marinello not in the picture?

Ha, 7-H, I have discussed this picture with Billyhibs & alhibby who both seem to think the player I initially thought was Johnny Graham is actually Johnny Hamilton....and I think they may be right but I`m still not totally convinced that it`s either JG or JH and have been wondering if it is as you suggest that it`s actually Peter Marinello !! I was actually going to post that the other day but thought I`d just leave it - until I saw your post.

There is no doubting the identity of five of the players in the picture and I`m now leaning towards JH or PM, more to PM now for that 6th " unidentified " player. In the most recent picture of another game that Billy has posted, you can see Johnny Graham clearly just behind Arthur Duncan, so don`t now think it`s him in the first photo. Billy & al may be right but I still think this is still a wee mystery .

The picture of Johnny Graham nailed it for me

The only other issue I might have had is that Alex Cropley or Sloop after a visit to the Barbers ?

I have convinced myself they are congratulating Joe McBride after completing his hat-trick from the penalty spot in a 4-1 win over St Johnstone in 1970

Cropley replaced Graham at Half Time

Thanks for that Billy, that settles it for me, I wondered if there was any info on the photo. I am 100% sure that is Alex Cropley so with JG off the park and Marinello not in the team (probably off to Arsenal by then,) it must be Johnny Hamilton.

Was driving me nuts but enjoyed the nostalgia trip.

Alex Cropley, Johnny Graham, Pat Stanton, Joe McBride, Peter Cormack and .........not sure, maybe Billy McEwan ?

It is John Blackley not Alex Cropley that was Blackleys hair style season 69/70.

Well, for me gb it`s Alex Cropley. I know what you`re saying about the hairstyle but his facial features & build make me very confident indeed that it`s Alex Cropley.

Yes enlarged the photo and it is Alex it was that Alex's legs looked too chunky but it's the angle of the photo that threw me.

I was only sure too by enlarging it. There were a few of them looked very similar back then and you sometimes can`t be sure - the enlarging definitely helps though .

Aye he said it was his pitch preparation that helped us beat Real Madrid...auld chancer.

Reminds me of my old pal the late Dennis Wells who claimed the Scotland rugby team wouldn't be where it was without him.
He drove the team bus.

Seem to recollect that we played them twice at Easter Road that year I am sure we beat them.

You are right I think looking at the picture it is probably Mervyn Jones not Chris Shevlane.

We look vastly out numbered

You are correct #2 could be Mervyn Jones who played in the September 1970 2-0 victory over Celtic explains the sunshine but does not explain the Chris Shevlane character ( second from the left ) who did not play ( a total gentleman by the way )

Joe McBride scored a double including one of the best goals I have ever seen at Easter Road

Colin who ???

Struggling to find Marinello Cropley and McEwan all playing together for the first team at Easter Road tbh

I think that is John Blackley on the left.

If there is a crowd of 40k there would be about 15k Hibs fan there. That was normal back then. The only time I saw that differently was a cup tie against the old Huns and there were at least 30k Hibs fans in a 49000 crowd

I bow to that knowledge. The bloke in photo's hair looks a bit dark though.
