who what when and why?

[TightEnd]

Not selhurst, but is a famous football ground. Clues in the picture. The surrounding area, one end of the ground to the other slopes about 30 feet. These days, even wholly developed, you can stand on a hill at the top end of the town behind one end and see part of the game

Molineux, the road running at the back of the old stand (see the gold paint left hand side of picture) which was the first part of the ground renovated and replaced by the white elephant of that big stand that was miles away from the pitch for decades.

In the far part of the picture you can see Manchester United fans being corralled from station to the South bank in a convoy (the away fans used to have half of the huge bank at the top end of the ground)

Is this Wolves too?  Bloke on the right doesn't have a Wolves badge?  Is that Emlyn Hughes 2nd from the right or just a generic early 70s footballer haircut?

[Karabiner]

That looks like Tommy Docherty on the extreme right in the white top.

[Archer]

I'm going for Hull. Terry Neill centre, bottom row - player/Manager there.

It's def Tommy Doc - not sure of his connection at Hull.

[RickBFA]

The guy second to the right of Tommy Doc looks like Alan Ball. Not sure its him though.

I thought Blackpool too but Derby maybe?

Hull could be right - guy on top row, first on left is Ken Knighton, played for Sheff Weds in 70's. Think he played for Hull.

Hull City

Tommy Docherty manager

Terry Neill was to take over as player/manager

Docherty's top, good spot, is a Porto away top. Reasons unknown

Tighty, just looked it up. He managed Porto 70-71. Didn't know that. Good quiz question.

Cant believe he is 89 years old.

[nirvana]

Stuart Pearson bottom left ? and Terry Neil as well as Doherty the only ones I got, couldn't get Hull though from that as only a fair weather footie fan
