Showers is right, Edwards is wrong though.

Correct Spedger and you've got the reason for the connection.

Spedger

Yes it is, doubt it if it will help, but the other player is on the right of the back row in the photo.

00s is Malvin Kamara

Correct.

60's - Alec Milne ?

The 10s is Davide Somma and the 80s is Mark Gavin.

I also think the 60s is Alec Milne but I can't find any proof that it's the same person who played against us for New Zealand (as you do) in 1968. If you've got an anecdote about a Scotsman who lived in Wales then emigrated to Canada via New Zealand, you may want to ask yourself 'where do I go from here?'. It's going to be a hard act to follow.

Both correct. I could well be wrong, but I cannot remember there being much, if any, press coverage of our epic tour of Australasia in 1968, so I wasn't aware of Milne's appearance against us until I read it in some City related reference material I have,

All of the answers are on the blog now.

I was hoping that Enoch or BT would put some flesh on the bones of this story. The tour was bizarre, what on earth was that about? They played 12 games out there, incredible. Milne appears in the third one here.

The fact that he's down as a midfielder rather than a defender and as Alex rather than Alec make me wonder if it's the same guy, neither are conclusive though. His Wiki page says he had injury problems which seemed to end his time here at an early age, he's not down as having played top level football anywhere after that and then he emigrated to Canada but all that is vague enough not to actually rule him out of playing in New Zealand in 1968 (he'd only have been 31 then). I can't imagine the double-take a City player who'd played with Milne years earlier would have done when he walked onto a pitch on the other side of the world four years later and saw him lining up for New Zealand.
