can anyone name the players

There's some handy looking lads on there eh

Francis was the coach . The first Black coach in GB I think.

Johnny Whiteley is on there.





Not sure about the others

Stanley Gene

You could kick that ball to were I once lived.

It a little before my time(19 years before I was born) but I'll have a go:



Top row 3rd from left is Mike Smith

Top row 5th from left is Terry Devonshire

Top row 6th from right may be Sammy Evans according to my dad

Holding the ball is obviously Johnny Whiteley

Well before my time but...



I think the chap standing third from right is Tongan Nan Halifihi - Nick's dad.



Jim Drake second left standing and Terry Devonshire 5th left?



Mick Scott 5th from right standing?

Tommy Sutton far right top,Tommy Harris next to Roy Francis,Cyril Sykes and looks like Peter Whiteley

Just got my hands on a 58-59 cup final program:



Top row 1st from left is Peter Whiteley

Top row 2nd from left is Jim Drake as already mentioned

Top row 4th from left is Stanley Cowan

Top row 5th from right is Mick Scott as already mentioned

Top row 4th from right might be Cyril Sykes

Bottom row 1st from left might be Brain Hambling

Part of the Hull Squad listed for the start of the 60-61 season:

David Doyle Davidson (didn't debut until Feb '61, not sure if in photo)

Gordon Harrison

Cyril Sykes - was a tall lean lad not sure

William 'Bill' Drake - Smack in the middle top row (7th from right or left) started as winger believe it or not!

Jim Drake As mentioned

Brian Hambling

Mick Scott -As mentioned

Terry Hollindrake

Jack Kershaw

Tom Harris, Is Tommy in this photo?

Johnny Whitely As mentioned

Stan Cowen - As mentioned

Frank Broadhurst (might be 1st Left front or it could be Tommy Finn)

Ralph Walters (deffo Not in photo)

George matthews - possibly front row 3rd from right

Tommy Finn - See Broadhurst Above

Peter Bateson - could be 2nd from right back row



Not in that list are:

Brian Saville fairly certain is 4th from right, he reminds me of a young knocker

Sam Evans had his debut 26.09.59 only played 17 games so could well have been the big lad in the middle of the photo.



Deffo Nan Halafihi, debut was 09.01.60



My greatest Hull FC treasure is an original framed signed photo of the team from the late 50s

I bet Wilf can name all of these!!
