Geoff, of Windermere Crescent, Worthing, is unsure what year the photo was taken, but believes it was around 1952.

Geoff, who is pictured second from right on the front row, could remember most of the names of the team, but has forgotten a couple.

Geoff also pointed out that one player, Charlie Field, was missing from the photo, and added that he was “always late”.

Can you identify the two boys Geoff cannot remember?
