Owen Coyle in the middle

Aren’t they the Captains of the 4 North West teams, that won each of the Divisions, inc Dobson and Smith

The one next to Dobbo looks like Billy McNeil - Man City ?

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:08 pm

Tommy Smith and Martin Dobson on the right

Pat Crerand and Tony Book

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:13 pm

Martin Dobson - Burnley
Tommy Smith - Liverpool

Both correct. Still the other 2 players and the horse as unfortunately Owen Coyle is incorrect

Rag Trade for the Horse?

Incorrect JohnMac

What about Crerand and Book?

Chesterthedog · Post by **Chesterthedog** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:20 pm

Looks a bit like Ian Callaghan, Smith’s team mate? Left foreground.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:25 pm

Crerand, Book, Callaghan all incorrect.

A clue, Bfc is on to it earlier, the 4 players are captains of the 4 North West teams who won the leagues the season the photo was taken.

Warwick Rimmer and John McPhee?

I'm guessing the horse won the grand national that year (NW connection). No idea with horse racing so could only guess the obvious, Red Rum.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:32 pm

John McPhee - Bolton Wanderers
Red Rum - Stables based in Southport

Both correct. Final player to get now but it is very tricky I think.

Warwick Rimmer

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:34 pm

I messed up with the players and clubs.

John McPhee - Southport
Warwick Rimmer - Bolton Wanderers
Martin Dobson - Burnley
Tommy Smith - Liverpool
Red Rum - The horse

All answers correct.

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:35 pm

I know the Year and the teams but ...

freddy smith and walter joyce?

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:52 pm

Without googling I always thought Red Rum had a white flash but have now remembered it was a nose band

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Sun Apr 26, 2020 12:35 pm

That was the closest Smith ever got to Dobbo.

We played in Warwick Rimmer's testimonial at the end of that season, the night after the John Angus testimonial and the two teams ran round the pitch perimeter with their respective trophies. I seem to recall Bolton having a then young but still big, fat centre half in their team. Now I wonder who that could have been.
