How many members of Cardiff City's youth side of November 1965 do you recognise? I make it that six of them went on to play first team football for the club and, although he's not one of the first teamers, I think the player sat second from the right may be a familiar face to many of us.

Derrett, Toshack, Steve GammonOriginally Posted by the other bob wilson
Too late for Steve Gammon I think.
Nigel Rees?
Much too young, he was only a kid when he crossed the ball for that goal in 1971
Sitting, second from right is obviously Gareth Bale, his de Lorean is parked by The Bluebirds Club.
He is probably angry about that.
As Monkfish said. Definitely Steve Derrett & Toshack. First two on the bottom, from the left, possibly Bernard Lewis & Graham Coldrick
Is David Summerhayes in there somewhere.
The one with the FA cup ears, is doing my head in
Coldrick definitely, sat down, second from left as you look at it.As Monkfish said. Definitely Steve Derrett & Toshack. First two on the bottom, from the left, possibly Bernard Lewis & Graham Coldrick

Is it David Houston on Steve Derrett’s right?
A punt on the ‘keeper being the ‘unfortunate’ Lyn Davies?
What was it, about 20 goals in 3 games
Correct, well done. I think it was something like thirty two he let in over six matches.
Derrett and Toshack (second and third left in the back row) are both right.
All of the other names mentioned are wrong though.
The three you haven't got include a Welsh international (must admit I didn't recognise him mind), someone who featured in one of our biggest matches around that time, but didn't play too many times for the first team and the captain, with the ball at his feet, who only played the once, but he's got a famous football surname.
The guy with "the FA Cup ears" took part in a Wembley Cup Final if I'm right about him.
Richie Morgan?
No Clive, but I'd say you're warm.
Yes Steve Gammon had finished playing before I started watching in 61/2 I think.
Peter Morgan?
Sorry, my hint took you in the wrong direction there I'm afraid, it's not him - although this player's presence in the team sometimes led to a similar type of confusion as the Morgan's may have caused.
David Summerhayes’ brother, Robert (I think)?
No, just think surnames.
A further clue about the player sat second from the right - I have to keep on qualifying what I say with "if I'm right", but, if I am, a certain Russian winger will not remember this bloke's Cup Final appearance with any affection.
Steve finished at City in 1965 and left to become player/manager of Kettering Town.
Broke his leg 3 times.
Going by this thread there seemed to be a clearer path to the first team back then
Yes he actually broke his leg in 1961 when I checked.
A tackle by Denis Law.
My dad never liked Law after that.
Don't think Steve played many games for the City first team again until he left in 1965
The two players in the picture to play first team football for City not identified are the most obscure ones in my view. Sat next to Leighton Phillips is Bryn Jones who started in the team for the first leg of the Cup Winners Cup Quarter Final against Moscow Torpedo which meant that there were two B Jones' in the side - Barrie headed the only goal of the game. Bryn played around ten times for us before moving on to Bristol Rovers.
The other one was the captain David Yorath (in the middle of the front row) who played one match for us in the run to the League Cup Semi Final in 65/66.
