Part of the Hull Squad listed for the start of the 60-61 season:
David Doyle Davidson (didn't debut until Feb '61, not sure if in photo)
Gordon Harrison
Cyril Sykes - was a tall lean lad not sure
William 'Bill' Drake - Smack in the middle top row (7th from right or left) started as winger believe it or not!
Jim Drake As mentioned
Brian Hambling
Mick Scott -As mentioned
Terry Hollindrake
Jack Kershaw
Tom Harris, Is Tommy in this photo?
Johnny Whitely As mentioned
Stan Cowen - As mentioned
Frank Broadhurst (might be 1st Left front or it could be Tommy Finn)
Ralph Walters (deffo Not in photo)
George matthews - possibly front row 3rd from right
Tommy Finn - See Broadhurst Above
Peter Bateson - could be 2nd from right back row

Not in that list are:
Brian Saville fairly certain is 4th from right, he reminds me of a young knocker
Sam Evans had his debut 26.09.59 only played 17 games so could well have been the big lad in the middle of the photo. icon_lol.gif
Deffo Nan Halafihi, debut was 09.01.60

My greatest Hull FC treasure is an original framed signed photo of the team from the late 50s k020.gif

Here's my shot. Two uncertain. Pretty sure about the rest.

Standing L to R
Pete Whiteley, Jim Drake, Colin Cole, Stan Cowan, Terry Devonshire, Frank Broadhurst, Cyril Sykes, Sam Evans, Brian Hambling, Brian Saville, Nan Halafihi, Peter Bateson, Tom Sutton
Kneeling R to L
Tommy Finn, Johnny Whiteley, Roy Francis, Tommy Harris, Ivor Watts(?) was appointed asst coach in October 1959, George Mathews, Holgate (?)

Pic must have been taken before the Championship play off against Trinity as Bateson was injured in a clash with Rocky Turner and had to miss the Cup Final the following weeks.

Third from left deffo Colin Cole 6'4", Colin Cooper was about 5'10" as I remember certainly no more than that. Tom Sutton was big and in his 30's when he joined from Rovers and the extreme left player fits that bill.
As far as extreme right front row is concerned my records show that these may fit the bill.
Holgate as stated, Brian Hambling (I don't think), Jim Lawson (quite possible) or Walters, a reserve hooker.
Somebody will know the answer. Bill Dalton?

Agree Cole not Cooper - Tommy Sutton at the end of top row. And yes Bill Dalton will know. He is the man.

I remember that team, unfortunately i cannot remember all the names. However, apart from Mick Scott (who was my all time favourite Hull FC player,) i would hazard a guess that i am the only member of this forum who has all their autographs icon_smile.gif
