Photo of Stan Matthews against...??

[Blackpool-rocks]

Found this photo on the internet. Anybody recognise the opposition in this match.?

Stan looks quite old there, so must have been late in his career.
It's difficult to see the badge on the player on the extreme right of pic. but it doesn't look like BFC.
The guy tackling SM s badge looks like OFC or DFC, whatever that is.

That looks like Roger Byrne I think who was at Man U

 

[Davepick]

Sorry Plumbs, doesn't look like Byrne to me.

Sorry Plumbs, doesn't look like Byrne to me.

Wont be him anyway because he was a one club man and that's not their kit.

 

[Wizaard]

I'm wondering if it's on one of our world tours in the late 50s. Kit would suit that period too.

 

[Insider]

It doesn't look like a 1st Division ground.
Is the other Blackpool player in the picture Des Horne?

 

[Blackpool-rocks]

Given they are all wearing short sleeves, a pre-season or overseas match maybe..??

The kit is from between 1956-1962. Stan rejoined Stoke in 1961.
