Not sure. The old grey cells don't function too well these days but it does look a bit like Ernie Shepherd.

What a hell of a goal-scoring winger Ernie was. Always a pleasure to watch him in action. One of my favourite players in the day.

Well done Bushman with that 56/57 picture...Now thats a proper Kit!
I started watching the R's in 1957/58 and during the 1950's some clubs thought the Hoop shirt was old fashioned and sought change..QPR Doncaster Reading for example.
I was dead against the whim of Alec Stock who in 1959 brought about the return of an outdated hooped strip. We had a great "modern day" kit. There was no need for such a reactionary step backwards.
I should know who that is in the pic..shame on me!
PS NAVY BLUE shorts(or near as) 1953-59..and dont let anyone tell you any different!

Bushy, I think that latest pic might be George Petchey or Bobby Cameron ............................ think I'll go for Petchey but, as I have said previously - it's a long time ago.

All I can safely say is I do not have a clue. I will add, with BMan's time machine he could at least get colour pics so we can see the shorts.  |

Yes Bushman those 1950's R's players are not very clear in my memory banks and difficult for me to identify..so I reckon they were not "regular" first teamers circa 1957-59.
I'll go for Mike Powell centre half for the first 1956/57 pic...and a wild guess at Alec Dawson or Anderson/Pearson for the second

Bushy, as I have said before, you are doing my head in mate. I am not even going to try to answer this. As we are still going to the hospital for my missus to have her radiotherapy, I don't get many days at the moment when I don't have to drive so I have just had a skinful and not thinking straight. Now off to the armchair for a kip and I'll think about all this later.
