Sure is.

The picture was taken after the gale of early 1950 which took down the shelter on the Popular side. The Supporters club paid for a replacement one and it took all their funds!!

Its amazing how the area has grown in the 60 years since that picture was taken.

Am I right in thinking that the player in the middle at the front is Dusty Miller. If it is, I remember him powering a header from the centre circle to the penalty spot. What a head that fellow had!

That photo was a long time before Dusty Miller came to the club EK.    I think Dusty was about the early 50s
