Match Day Thread Swansea City v Cardiff City

Ford left The Swans' in 1947, so it's not him in the photograph.
I think that could be the regular goalkeeper Johnny King sitting between Harry and Ivor. I vaguely remember they experimented with King at centre forward, so the five seated, would be the forward line. I thought it could have been Des Palmer initially, but my money is on King.
No idea who that goalkeeper is.
Mel Charles injured probably.

Arthur Willis partnered Alf Ramsey at full back for England in 1951.

Great old photograph though.

Any more ?

 

Vetch - in my haste, I wrote down 6 players sitting, when there are only 5! I typed Johnny King as it is 100% him playing Centre Forward - must have looked at the photo, saw a resemblance to Ford so wrote his name as well as Johnny King who, as we both agree, it is

 

It was a long time ago.

 

Vetch - could the goalie be Ken Evans?

 

I think that's who it was.. Well done that man.

 

Good old Herbie. He had the unenviable task of taking over Ivor's role when he left for Newcastle. Herbie was so good, he slotted in seamlessly.

 

Herbie is one of my all-time favourites

 

Mine too.

" Herbie, Herbie".

 

Nice pullover :

 

Seems that the posters on Annis’s Cardiff City Forum are pretty confident

 

Brentford lead with another penalty......thought we were the only ones who had those

 

I agree regarding Herbie

 

1-1

Come on Forest!

 

Wales beat the frogs and we beat the scum makes for a great weekend .
Fingers crossed

 

Forest hold Brentford to a draw. Well done them.

Presumably the Brentford faithful are looking at ways to blame The Swans for dropping two points.

 

Encouraging start to the day

 

We seem to f@@k up when results go our way, need to break the hoodoo. Another hoodoo to break...... the double.

History not in our favour, fingers crossed!

 

Watford 1-0 up after 4 mins
