Hi the brother of a friend of mine passed away last year and in amongst his collection of old racing books was this photo. We think we can identify Richard Hannon snr, Frankie Durr and Greville Starkey but would welcome it if any of the community can identify any of the others in the photo. The gentleman who passed away lived all his life in Salisbury so we assume the photo was taken in a pub in Salisbury, perhaps sometime in the last 60's or early 70's.
Your help would be very much appreciated.

The woman sat on poor Greville's knee looks like Toby Balding.

Joe MERCER - Middle row - over Richard Hannon's right shoulder - and the old man's left shoulder
Willie CARSON ? - bottom left, front row - with the woman's arm around him. Know the face of the guy over Hannon's left shoulder - bu cannot put a name to him. Likewise top row middle. * I wonder if the old man is a retired trainer - celebrating a Golden/Diamond Wedding, or something similar |

By:
Top middle -
National Hunt jockey - Richard LINLEY |
|
By:
Likes like Phillip Robinson, or J. Seagrave?
|
|
By:
He must have long knees ged
  |

By:
Think that might be Gary Moore on Lindley's left.

Send it too him see if he remembers it ? |
|
By:
Did email to Mr Hannon but no response. I think Motley is spot on with Gary Moore. Thanks for all your responses.
|
|
By:
Also think onlooker is right with Richard Linley.
|
|
By:
Ah right thought he might have found time to reply oh well..........

Pat Eddery top right ?
|
|
By:
^ No - Pat Eddery only an Apprentice when this photo was taken
|
|
By:
Joe Mercer seems right Onlooker and it could well be Pat Eddry 11KV
|

Luckybutdumb -
I am going Nap on my Joe MERCER answer - above Hannon's right shoulder |
|
By:
Onlooker prob right about Pat he was born in 52 so maybe the fella in the photo is a bit older....
|
|
By:
Oh I thought you meant Joe Mercer was on the far left behind the lady on Greville's knee!
|
|
By:
Jeff King top left
|
|
By:
If Greville is bottom left - which it looks quite probable ....
Who is the Greville Starkey lookalike above him - Middle left? |
|
By:
Is Greville Starkey not the one behind Richard Hannon?
|
|
By:
^ 'Never in million'
Greville Starkey is bottom left (as you look at the Photo) - or a long-shot Carson. |

surprised grenvill in front he liked to be brave and be behind
|
|
By:
The Prince William look-alike - on the TOP row, partially hidden by Joe Mercer's head.
- One of the SHERWOOD brothers - or a young Kim Bailey. |
|
By:
The guy top middle could well be right with Richard Linley but also similar to Paul Kelleway,
|
|
By:
the one at the back has a swipe of richard hughes about him. obviously not him though
|
|
By:
Alices -
Paul Kellaway would have made sure he was stood at the FRONT. |
|
By:
You could perhaps try the IJF. I'm sure some oldtimers there would know a few and would be glad to help out (particularly if you enclose a cheque!).
|
|
By:
If Joe Mercer has any involvement with this picture, it can only be the possibility that he took it, because he most certainly is not IN it
   |
|
By:
Who is the Joe MERCER 'Double' then?
Middle row - above Hannon's right shoulder. SAME Nose - Mouth and receding hariline. |
|
By:
Richard Hannon, Frankie Durr and Richard Linley - I would bet heavily on. I would be a big layer that Greville or Gary Moore appear. Just an observation but the little bloke attempting to breastfeed is probably not Willie Carson.
|
|
By:
back row J King, R Linley, A Turnell?
|
|
By:
guy at end behind Hannon, someone like John Williams?
|
|
By:
onlooker - I know the guy on Hannon's right shoulder is the one you believe to be Joe Mercer, but there is MORE chance the geezer on Hannon's left shoulder is Nick Faldo
|
|
By:
Well that's your OPINION - thebrave.
He even has the same CHIN as Joe Mercer, too. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=joe%20mercer%20jockey&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a |
|
By:
I think you're right brave, that's not J. Mercer, they have completely different hooters
|
|
By:
would agree and 90% certain back row Jeff King, Linley and a young Andy Turnell.
I would have said that is Joe Mercer behind Hannon's right shoulder, bit more hair then. Starkey, Durr, Hannon def. But no idea who the old couple are or the 3 other in pic. |
|
By:
Back row..Jeff King, R.Linley, A.Turnell, R.Ffrench.?
mid row...T.Stack, F.Durr, J.Mercer, Phillip Waldron? front... G.Starkey..Mrs Mills?,Arnold Ridley ?..R.Hannon. |
|
By:
reculver - R Ffrench
Phuck off Not only was he not born when picture was taken, it's touch and go if his dad was If that is Tommy Stack on left of middle row, I'll drop my tweeds in Primark's window on a Saturday afternoon |
|
By:
The elderly couple are Mr & Mrs B Davis and it was a party to celebrate the victory of their horse Mon Fils in the 1973 2000 Guineas. Hannon trained it and Durr rode it.
