[ SHIRT QUIZ 1 ] Name the Signatures on the Old Shirt :-)

Post by Dazzler »

Can you name the signatures on the shirt? [Have added numbers - not squad numbers (feel free to add those in your answer), for ease of reference].

Also the shirt year/player?

No prizes - this is just from one of the initial shirts we are putting up in the Crosskeys Bar that we had in storage.

We're currently sorting some of the current AFC R&D Team's shirts/Squad pics we used to have in bar at DnD (i.e. from the U18 Playfish one onward), but which were smoke damaged in the Great Fire of the Dog and Duck a few years back.

We also have a few of the larger pics of old club from Strikers Bar in the corridor and will be adding to those with more current pics as well.

There will be another shirt/thread to follow later.

Also an easy bonus one, as probably many have this picture (I know there was a whole pile of them in the old cabin where we did 50/50 from.) - name the 3 players in the reflected image above the number [11].

I've only ever been to 3 R&D games. One of those was Brian Talbot's last game in charge and another was Ernie Tippett's last game in charge (away at Cheltenham (1-4 loss away) in Jan '05.

So I'm guessing that the shirt is from 04/05. No clue about shirt numbers so I'm going to guess Barry Hunter (who is possibly signature number 3 as well).

Think you may have meant number 2 as Gary mills, where he has wrote a number 4 after his signature?

Ahh the 4-1 surrender at Cheltnumb. No one celebrated our goal, it was obvious the players didnt like Tippet, easily the worst manager I've seen. 1 of those looks like Bandylegs and to be fair, they were 😂

You can see links to Match Reports for the 2004/05 season here - https://rdfc1992.com/rushden-diamonds-m ... n-2004-05/ It's obviously from the Tippett era, so before 15/1/05, and possibly before Gary Mills had his serious injury at Oxford on 11/9/04, but even with a probable list of players it's difficult to link to many of the signatures.
