sglosbcfc Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I found this photo on e-bay, I'm guessing 1981 or 82. Does anyone recognise the players, opposition etc? It would appear like it was a decent gate. I think I recognise the black guy playing up front for the opposition but his name won't come to me Keith something I think. City are playing in their Red and Black strip with a robin on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Keith Cassells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtonphil Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Jan Moller in goal; Alan Nicholls is the blond running right to left Number 8 I reckon might be Alan Hay. Facing us might be Ricky Chandler. Guy going arse over tit I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillzider Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Jan Moller in Goal Think he played 1980(Dec)-1982. Great keeper during desperate times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Keith Walwyn? If it is, it might be York City. The shirt numbers look like Coventry though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think BS4 is right, Keith Cassels and did he not play for Mansfield for a while? Walwyn was another black striker with a physical edge but I think it looks more like Cassells. I started watching City in 82-83 so many of those names I have heard of but had left the club before I saw them in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did....played against us at Wembley in 1987, played upfront alongside Kevin Kent (iirc, haven't checked but I think that was his name). One of my earliest memories watching City, Mansfield broke my heart. All has been forgiven now of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Cassells was the best player on the Wembley pitch when we played Mansfield - those numbers do look like the yellow Forest away kit, iirc....but can't be if the year is correct. Kent was a right winger / midfielder in the FRT, but did get their goal. Cassells wasn't at Mansfield in 81/82 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityal Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 The kit looks right for Oxford Utd based on the design of the numbers, and all a single colour according to this - http://oxfordkits.com/1981.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think number 8 may be Ricky Chandler. I may also be in the picture stood in the Covered End to the left of pillar number 3 - left as picture view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: apparently we played Oxford 6th March 1982, which could be the match in the picture. Div. 3, and on our way down again. Lost 2-0. Remember that game. Near the end of the match, at 2-0 down, we were puzzled as the middle of the EE more or less emptied, with hundreds of young City fans quietly filing out past us (in the open corner of the EE) and out of the ground. A couple of minutes later they reappeared, running across the previously sparsely filled City side of the Open end before massing together at the dividing fence and chanting over at the celebrating Oxford fans. This carried on until the end of the game and outside as well - as we left the ground there was a mass brawl taking place on Ashton Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
