Could potentially be him in his youth. Never played for our senior first team though.

That's a young Mel Nurse.

Of course it is, good spot. I was thinking Trevor Ford.

I think it is Trevor Ford. Looking at the kit and the fact that he's kicking with his left foot - Ford joined us as a left back before being converted into a centre forward.

I would have guessed it's Mel Nurse too.

Strangely, from that angle, he has the look of Steven Gerrard.

Checked with my old man who played against Mel & met Trevor Ford.

He said straight away ' That's Trevor Ford'

Do you know what, you’re right! That’s Ford on closer inspection, no question. 👏

What’s not in any doubt is just what a ridiclously talented generation that was, good grief!😳

Well spotted, I would never have known it was Trevor_Ford

Interesting info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Ford

Anyone know if the photo is worth anything, it's a bit creased and old looking...

Yes, looks like Trevor. I saw him and spoke with him when he was selling dodgy motors on Carmarthen Road. Must have been in the early 90s, before the new stretch was built.

Just showed the photo to one of the old boys who served in the RA around the same time as Ford and he reckons it's him without a shadow of doubt.

Is the photo worth anything? In monetary value I wouldn't have thought so but to the Ford family I'm sure it would mean a lot. Why don't you see if you can't get it to them? It's the gentlemanly thing to do.
