View attachment 19652

Isn't the second from the left at the back Tom Anthony and the second from the left at the front a young Peter Gelson?

 

[North London Bee]

Anthony probably but never Gelson

 

[wanderer paul]

..............Joebee????............

I saw him after the game and said I had a picture from the late 1890's.

 

[wanderer paul]

Is that Dennis Piggott back left?

Yes.

Jackie Goodwin far right.

 

[Delbee]

Anthony probably but never Gelson

Don’t think Tommy Anthony was part of Brentford Youth in the 1950’s I remember playing with him on Sundays in the early 1960’s

 

[sonofabee]

Joebee looking good.

 

[wanderer paul]

Joebee looking tall.

That's harsh!

After the 1950s there is a ?, so may be early 1960s.

Agree with this. Might be our Seanglian League team circa 1960/61.

Could be. Wasn’t sure. Thought, myself, between 1958 and 1961.

[GP200]

[Brentford 4 Life]

[rebus]

South East Counties team?

We didn’t enter until mid1960s but not ruling it out. Denis Piggot on the far left also.

 

[wanderer paul]

Someone wake up joebee! I'm sure he could name them all and what year.

 

[Beefletch]

Anthony probably but never Gelson

Definitely TomAnthony but noPG in that photo.

[Houghton Bee]

Above the short guy on the left of the photo in a tracksuit is what appears to be a pair of windows in the stand, what was behind them (f they were windows)?

lol You’re a bad man

 

[Beat Poet]

Jackie Goodwin far right.

Would that make the pic between 1957 and 1963, if a Birmingham City book source is to be believed about Goodwin being back with the club in a coaching capacity in those years?

 

[joebee]

I saw him after the game and said I had a picture from the late 1890's.

Thanks Paul, will try and put a few names to the faces, as rebus said mainly lads who played i n the Seanglian league and Combination side, Jackie Goodwin and Jimmy Carr (next to Dennis Piggot) managed the youth and Seanglian teams.

 

[peter1964]

Is that you punchy Graham

 

[joebee]

Is that you punchy Graham

Will catch up with you vs Brizzle......

 

[Wise old Bee]

Above the short guy on the left of the photo in a tracksuit is what appears to be a pair of windows in the stand, what was behind them (f they were windows)?

I have vague recollections of being told that behind those windows was some electrical stuff. I think that former GPG stalwart, Nigel Brooks's dad did some work at the ground in the 60s and fuse boxes etc were housed there. He was a sparks in the area and I'm sure I heard this from him.

 

[GP200]

..............still waiting............

 

[tfel63]

Yes, pretty sure that's Jackie Goodwin. Used to see him a lot when I was growing up on the Medway Estate in Perivale, just off the A40 in the late '60s/early '70s. I remember a neighbour saying what a good player he was, and having an ex-player from your boyhood club living close by was quite cool. Just as good was having John Docherty and Gordon Sweetzer turn up at a school football training session in the late '70s (this was Burlington Danes in East Acton). I was too gobsmacked to say anything!

His son Dave went to my school. He was a decent player too and turned out for my Saturday side a few times later on.

 

[TW1Bee]

Ran a sports shop in Northfields. Has that been mentioned ?

 

[TW1Bee]

Is that Jay Tabb third from right back row

 

[smiffy superbee]

Pic is definitely Tommy Anthony though!

 

[rodders]

Front far right looks like John Docherty ( probably not) , also think Jimmy Gitsham played in that era but would not recognise him.

 

[Mattingly Bee]

That picture is a great find

 

[teejay46]

Ken Coote, second left at rear?

 

[Raymond Howard]

Jimmy Gitsham is not in the photo. I worked with him in the early 60's.
