Arsenal
Back row: David Court, Jon Sammels, Jim Furnell, George Armstrong, Don Howe, Tommy Baldwin
Front row: Peter Storey, Ian Ure, Billy McCullough, Terry Neill, Peter Simpson

Dating evidence for this photo includes the absence of Frank McLintock (transferred from Leicester City in October 1964). Don Howe transferred from W.B.A. to Arsenal in April 1964. If you look closely at this photo the three players on the right have round-necked shirts and their heads don't look right on the bodies. Did someone do a (very bad) cut and paste onto the heads of other Arsenal players. Surely not?
