Read his wiki page and you'll find out why  ...  .and like you I thought he was a good player if only coz he flattened di canio in the league cup win at west ham   .

Interesting read , mate 

I vaguely remember seeing him play later on in his career and he’d clapped weight on.

A talented player for all that

My first thought was Alan Thompson on a really bad hair day 

I've just looked in the programme I took the photo from (v Blackpool on 28th February 1973) and Alan Thompson played in that match although the programme says it is David Sunley. I reckon you are right and it's maybe  an error in the programme. Apologies for any confusion.

You’re right , Red .

No way that’s Dave Sunley .

Thats what you get when you only pay 7p for a programme !!

Out of interest these were the two teams for that game.

Great memories of setting off on hopeful away days on the SUT then the reality of seeing Colin Prophet and Alan Thompson floundering in the mud at some godforsaken ground as an opposition striker popped one in the net 🙄

Didn’t know that , torry , but studying the photo again I can remember Sunley now having a moustache and longer hair at one point.

You really should write a book , mate , your in depth knowledge of the club from back in the day is exceptional

No, mate, I knew you’d obviously looked that up. No one has that memory capacity.

Im always happy to be proved wrong. That’s the joy of quizzes like this. 
You’re learning something new all the time
