The two gentlemen lying down at the front could be Brian Taylor and Paul Travis?

And that has to be none other than the legendary Phil Taylor himself on the middle of the back row peering out between that red-haired girl who watched Alty for years and the young lady who is sporting the extremely snug denim shorts...?

Indeed you are corect Cult.

My memory fails on everyone else, however Miss Denim 1980 was on the infamous Weymouth Weekend in the early 80s.

Phil Taylor may identify some more

I think I may be able to assist slightly here

The Ginger haired young lady was Sally Cragg...If Sally was there then i would be astounded if Jane Ollier was not also somewhere in the vicinity although I am struggling to identify which one she may be

'Miss Denim' as she has been dubbed was a young lady called Janet (surname escapes me I'm afraid although it may be Wild) She was originally a friend of the legendary Alan Gorrill and whilst we were 'dating' she accompanied me to the FA Trophy Final against Enfield.

I recall her being EXTREMELY popular when we would stop at the boozer with the skittle alley in Western Zoyland on the way to Weymouth, a certain exchange of certain of her garments for food and drink being I believe the basis for this

I may be mistaken but is that one Tony McLennon in the back row second from the end opposite the goalkeeper.

I will study it further and see if I can come up with any more

Phil, great work so far!
I completely agree your assessment of Miss Denim!

Well I am not in it!  i would have known it was Sally Cragg even without looking at the picture "red haired girl who watched Alty for years" sums it up really.  I am used to the supporters club goalie being Ian Thorpe - but I think I am safe in saying the goalie in the picture is NOT Ian!

Have been back through the memory banks - Janet Wild was indeed the name and, as I recall there was never a more appropriate surname

I believe that the chap third from the left, may be Howard Watts ???

The person, identified by many to be Phil Taylor.....is in fact Tom Jacobs ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You know it is....it really is.......thank you!
