who is the last one and the lad sat down in the chair ,Alan Walsh don't look any different

I wondered that too, I should know as a supporter since 1967! But I think the chap sat down is Gordon Parr and the last one could be Donnie Gillies.

I'd like someone to confirm though.

Great to see AD looking so well.

Edit by sat down I meant the guy in the leather coat.

Think that’s Clive Whitehead, mate.

Definitely Tainton with Sir Geoffrey, I find myself getting pretty emotional at that photo & also the one of the Sween & TV Tom.

Bloody legends, I should say so..

Thanks, 

So who is the guy in the last of NTTDS photos in the OP?

I think we've identified everyone else ( except the barmaid).

Yes it is Whitehead - shaved his tache off but his accent gave the game away!

Got to shake Sir Geoff by the hand last night. Bloody marvellous.

Latham got quite emotional when mentioning Coops too.

Fantastic evening at the Gate supporting Richard's book which has had more postponements than Airdrie v Stranraer (1963 Scottish Cup tie)....not quite but the evening was definitely a triumph for persistence.

As a lapsed Yeovil fan, it was great to see Tom Ritchie (and his brother), Geoff Merrick, Paul Cheesley, Scott Murray, Clive Whtehead and Mickey Tanner who all featured in the green & white of YTFC at one time or another, ar Whitehead who was our manager briefly. But as a football fan, it was simply majestic to meet some true greats of the Bristol game who, to a man, were polite, friendly and more than happy to sign books, pose for pictures and talk about the good ol' days.
