How are the players top and bottom of the right side picture? The other four a legends

Left to right: Tony Bentley, Trevor Roberts, Keith Lindsey, Gary Moore, Billy Best and Chico Hamilton. All legends for me!

 

[tsbl2000]

I'm pretty sure the bottom one (upside down in the picture) is Chico (signed Ian) Hamilton.
As to how he is, I've no idea !

Yes, Chico Hamilton, that's right.

Struggling a bit with the top one. Like anyone else who saw every game that fantastic season, I think I can recall pretty much all of the players. It looks like the name ends in a "Y" which would mean Beesley, Bentley (elsewhere on programme), Lindsey or Riley. Doesn't really look like them.

Keith Lindsey

From my early teenage Blues Scarpbook. To me, Billy is the greatest player ever to have played for the Blues......

Quite agree; but reading the article and knowing what happened at Mansfield bought back some sad memories

Keith Lindsey

It really doesn't look like "Lindsey" although I'm happy to take your word for it.

I don’t know, Mick. I can now clearly see the “Keith” and it looks like a scribbled surname ending in a “y”.

It looked very like him when I got him to sign it...Unless it was an early AI experiment.....

Yes, oh what could have been.....

Yes, I can imagine, rather than clearly see, the "Keith" but that seems to leave just 3 letters.
No matter, as I said, I'm happy of course to take the word of a first hand witness to the signature !! Luckily his defending was better than his handwriting.

We joked about Keith's signature at the time and joked he had changed his name to 'Keith Lly'. I think he just wanted to sign quickly and watch the game!

Swansea v Southend 4th Feb, 2005. League Two.
They battered us that day, but again, the never say die attitude, good team and great team spirit meant we got something from the game. Also, a nice header from Kev to set up the assist to the goal.

Reading v Southend. 7th December 1990.
Only the Leyland Daf, or daft as some called it. But a great performance. Very enjoyable. Great commentary from John Adams, bless him, our former Chief Executive. Probably Adam Locke's best performance for us. He was inconsistent, but when he was good, he was very good.

I was at that game, I also saw us beat them 4-2 away in the league that season . Happy days.
