    RIP - Played right half in the team that I can still reel off from younger days - Duff, Sewell, Hewie, Tocknell, Hinton, Bailey, Lawrie, Matthews, Leary, Edwards, Kinsey. Occasionally, played at centre half, if I remember correctly.

    RIP Brian.

    Played in the first match I ever saw at the Valley in 1962.

    Classy player who sported a crew cut and always played with a smile.

    RIP Brian.

    Very good no nonsense player for us, we had quite a few excellent South African players in that era

    I am sure that is pretty much the team that played in the first game I saw.
    The team that sticks in my mind the most was the one from a season or two later - Rose, Hewie, Kinsey; Bailey, Haydock, Tocknell; Kenning, Matthews, Firmani, Edwards, Glover.
    When I think of Brian Tocknell I think of him in that kit of mostly white with the red shoulder flash.
    RIP

    You are absolutely right, @Six-a-bag-of-nuts. I can remember a picture of Brian Tocknell in that kit. Maybe, on the front of a programme, but I fancy somewhere else too.

    In around 1964 there was a full page colour pic in Football Monthly with Brian, and I'm pretty certain, John Hewie and Brian Kinsey.

    All wearing the white with red shoulder flash kit already mentioned.
