Jeff no doubts that it is Dave Thomas in those pictures you have looked at - its this picture who is on the far back right?

Don't think so mate, past players have said it's not him

He's a great snooker player too is Neil Robertson!lol
Just read about him in a Viner book on the blues first Vegan and the nearest born to Goodison to play for us was Neil Robertson not the Aussie snooker guy!

Fair enough, but if past players know it's not him, you'd think they'd know who it is - unless he's not a player.

If you google 'neil robinson everton', there are a lot of photos, so check it out. There is a striking likeness - to my eye.

edit. Not all the photos, the black and white ones and the one with David Jones on the Swindon programme cover.

I think more and more it is not a player.

I'm looking forward to finding out who it is. Don't give up on it.

If Lyons is holding a transistor radio to listen to the cup draw, could he be a journalist or wrote for the programme?

Unless we added players up to January 11th. Then it doesn't seem to be any of these.

Marty Hopkirk?

....nah, he wore a white suit.

 

[Joey66]

I asked my older brother about the mystery player, at first he could only think of Geof Nulty, then ruled it out to perhaps being an youth player at A team level?
