Matsuzaka is the right spelling

ps good to see Renei taking 2 cases plus a neck pillow. Everyone else happy with just one case.

Classic new boy duties.
Being bullied by one of the 'top dogs' and forced to carry their bag.

He may just have picked up all the fancy dress outfits for the big night out on tour.

Obviously a seasoned flyer and knows it's sensible to split your luggage in case one bag goes missing.

Indeed. Literally ressurected his career.

Can you name them though?

Left to right I think (with guesses) :- Peter Watson, Lou Costello?, Sandy Anderson, Alex Stenhouse?, ?, Duggie Price?, Peter Corthine?, Looks like Tony Bentley but he didn't sign until May 61!- could be Billy Wall, Alan Dicks?, Peter Goy.

Other possibilities are Arthur Williamson and Ray Whale . Harry Threadgold is missing.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

It looks like a PT session at a POW camp!

People moan about us not signing enough players now, they only had 10!

 

[Pak Power]

3rd from right is definitely Tony bentley

You're certainly right about the first three and Peter Goy.Can't help with the others I'm afraid.

Incidentally our grandson -born last week -is named Lou-I think after Lou Reed but it will always be after Lou Costello to my mind!

Didn't need as many then --- no substitutes and no transfer windows.
