Nicky Adams I remember well. Was a fixture in the reserves for a few years - I know his cousin, Dylan, who captained our reserve side that won the league under Steve Shilvock in the early '90s but never made an appearance for the first team.
Fascinating to all, I'm sure.

Probably as good a Reserves side as we've ever had? Lee Joinson played his last games in a Yeltz shirt.

Lee still technically wears a Yeltz shirt most Sundays (as we play in the old green away kit) and he is still banging in the goals!
I just wish I was old enough to have seen him in his prime- as he's still pretty damn good at 56!

I'll have a go at some players- Andy Lunt, Mark Creighton (definitely one that got away), Stuart Grosvenor, Stephen Moore (John Morris' son -in-law), Matt Richards, Darren Goodall. There was a Scottish midfielder Maclaren ?

Silvo & Hancox played regularly 87/88 and were gone by October of the next season.
Sanders started 3 times in both 86/86 & 87/88 and Adams played occasionally 86/87, 87/88 & 88/89. These two may have played in Reserves also.
I don't remember Andrews which may give more idea that he was a triallist in a pre-season friendly.
The kit doesn't register with me at all. It's Hardanger Properties so is it a variation on these Wembley tops?
That knowledge sir; is outstanding.
Never lets us down. Quite amazing.

McKenna? Went on to captain reserve side?
Is this the same McKenna that manages our Youth Team?

Wow LLL, great memory, and fair play Spooky, I can officially confirm the afore mentioned Scottish Midfielder is in fact our Youth Team manager, Keith McKenna, what a team that was he played in, as LLL says "Probably as good a Reserves side as we've ever had?"
Once a Yeltz, always a Yeltz...
