Alan, I've been looking at my own copy of the Derby/Huddersfield sheet and what's striking is how clearly the Derby County image has been doctored! I'd love to see the original. But the heads of Jimmy Randall, back row, Mee in the middle row and Alderman in the front row are all far too large to be on the bodies they purport to head up. Also Bowden's face is very peculiar. I mention just as a passing observation... Not sure how widespread the doctoring is on other team groups in the series, I have seen many of them and never noticed it so obviously!!
ReplyDeleteHi James,
DeleteThat's very interesting, I don't think the doctoring of photos back then was an unusual occurrence.
Take care,
Alan
