My son had a coat exactly like that one when he was a toddler, bought in the club shop and I'm sure we had that hat too. But I'm certain Jimmy Mullen never picked him up. He's 28 now. I'll see if he remembers!

The woman in the headscarf is an early example of Creeping Sharia, so beloved of the right wing nutjobs on this board.

You're correct, that's not Pete - close though, you must admit.

Let's face it, if you're the one in the head scarf there you're hardly likely to own up are you!!?

That's definitely not Pete Clare if it is the Pete Clare I knew who passed away a few years ago.

Then I apologise Bumba. I assume it was someone close to you or who you knew. The headscarf reminded me of my mum in the 60's who was never seen out without one, but by the time of that pic I assumed they'd become rather a rarity. Genuinely sorry if my quip caused offence.

What year was this out of interest. I assume its the current Fishwick Stand. When did the home fans come out of that stand. Presumably the away fans were still housed at the end of the Longside.

I was around 2 so I'm guessing it might have been the 92 promotion season.

Will be 1993 at latest. We had Ribeiro from August 1991 to May1993. Saddo I know.
