I’m dreadful at deciphering handwriting. Mainly because mine is so appalling.

Looks like this is an incredible find.

It would look nice in the Trust Bar if it's authenticated.

Quoted from Marinerdan


The stand behind looks loads like the Osmond stand. The fella standing on the left looks suspiciously like a fish merchant too.


It is. If you look over the keeper's shoulder you can see a gap in the roof line of the terraced houses on Neville Street. This gap is clear as you go on Street view down to No. 41.

My thoughts too. Will go nicely with the 30's shirt they purchased recently,

Wonder if they are aware?

It would but they are not in any way connected, Shankly was manager 51-54.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

They are connected in that both are fine pieces of GTFC history.

What a team, In his book Shanks said pound for
pound this was the best team he ever managed.
When I wasn't playing for my school team I watched
every home match.

The photo isn't too clear but the front row is Stan Lloyd,
Jimmy Bloomer, Billy Cairns, Jimmy Hernon and
Jimmy Maddison.

Next to Tom Dawson trainer is Duncan Mcmillan and
Paddy Johnston is next to Shankly.

Others on there will be Wally Galbraith, Bill Brown,
Reg Scotson and, of course, George Tweedy.

Perhaps someone with better eyesight than me
can match up their autographs.

Yes I messaged her and she acknowledged that she had got it wrong, but there had already been bids on it so unless she cancelled it, she is unable to alter any details.

Doesnt matter by the looks of it. Bids up to £205 already
