Is the player far right on back row Doug Davies? George must be coming to the end of his career with that line up, just bridging the first (brief) glory era I remember in the 1964 Wembley team and before the start of our 1970's revival under Vince Karalius, so I'm guessing late 1960s. (Ray French signed for us in 1967 and finished playing in 1971, so within those dates). Ged Lowe another 1964 veteran who played on into his 30s switching from 6 to 13, as would have been Johnny Gaydon, if he had been selected in 1964!
The player in the centre of the back row looks to me so like John Wood, did he have a elder brother, as I think John arrived on the scene much later(?)

I thought that the lad who looked like John Wood was a young-ish Mal Aspey (or was he Aspy, or Asbey or Ashby 😁😉)
Aspey!
Aspey!
I know - it used to be fun buying programs when we played away, back in the day. The number of times his name was spelt incorrectly and the variations on the spelling was always pretty funny.
