What about Rab ?

I've met both Rab's the Govan one is more eloquent and less abrasive than the Black Country one.

Cheeky feck 😯

Less holes in his vest, too, I've heard. 😛

I think the taller one is Ray Devey. unless my brain is tricking me. Perhaps Micky Darrell can enlighten us.

EDIT Just checked Wiki

Devey returned to Birmingham City, where he spent the remainder of his working life, performing a variety of backroom roles including reserve team trainer and coach, first-team trainer, physiotherapist and kit-man. He retired in 1983.[2] He died in 2001 at the age of 83.
Amazing the min remembers this after over 50 years. I think it is because he was on a team photo of that time that had on my wall.

I remember Ray Devey as the sponge man. His total medical kit running on the pitch was a wet sponge kept moist in a rubber football bladder.
Silver wavy hair, and his tracky bottoms tucked into his socks.

That is how i remember him too

Does anyone have a good picture of this guy. Don,t remember him myself and only played a few times for Blues. I am doing a collage of my 50 years following the blues, but can not find a good picture of this chap. Any help would be great. Many thanks in advance.

Don't want to state the absolute obvious .... but why don't you ask him since he posts on here almost every day ?

Yeah but Robert Hopkins posts on here and...I can assure you he ain't no Robert Hopkins.

I can assure you Mickey Darrell IS Micky Darrell


However i agree it can be misleading, the poster known as GOD wasn't really God.

😂

Although that will come as an unwelcome surprise to him. 😁
