    All of them. Could honestly name very few of todays players. Different life stages I suppose. In 1992 I was home and away.

    They were the two I didn't get too. 

    Have looked up the photo now, but wont spoil it.
  • No can not name all of them but question for me is Who is missing from the team that played against Portsmouth
  • Second left top got his first name only

    Lee Power - he was on loan from Norwich - it’s still a puzzle to me that he started the game

    Danny Warden - middle row, second from the right?

    Next to Tommy Caton is a struggle for me. I can only think of Lee Harrison but he was a keeper.
  • Second left top got his first name only
    He's the 3rd keeper, but presumably we didn't have another GK kit for him to wear. Bloody Castore  ;)

    Also in those days players stuck around, and each summer instead of half the team changing you'd just have a small number of changes.

    Both correct

    That's the one, but cunningly he's wearing an outfield shirt!

  • Danny Warden only one I didn't have a clue on!
  • Blimey, I honestly didn’t know Tommy Caton was still playing for us when we returned to the Valley.
    Hard to imagine that within 6 months of that picture he died.

    Yesterday's man...

    I had two copies of this on my bedroom wardrobe door.  One the official poster, one the free one from the Mercury.  I coloured their heads in as they left.  I took it down when Curbs was the only one left.

    Bloody hell. I still have this poster rolled up in the loft. I forgot that we had John Robinson then. I thought he came along the following season

    He was still in the squad, but hadn't played since January 1991. Really sad as you say, when you realise he died just a few months after that photo was taken.

    Brownie was also out injured for a long time around that time, but as we had Webster, Gatting and Balmer, plus the emerging Primus, we were well covered.

    Got that shirt somewhere in the house probably worth more now than that team....Great memories from those players.
