If anyone would like a full size scan of this pic, I managed to grab an original at the time and this is a scan of that, then let me know and I'll email it off. This copy is about a fifth of the size of the scan I've got:

So who haven't we located on this picture...
Jonesy Sr., Jane Lowe, Roger Fenton, Andy Sleigh, Paul Owens, Zach Townsend, Nick Sheard, Andy Deakin, Martin MacDonald, Kane Valentine.
Zach is still about (he was interviewed on Games that Weren't recently), I'm still in touch with Martin Galway, but other then that I think we've drawn a blank on anyone else.

Refresh my memory.. who was Nick Sheard - it's not ringing any bells at all - real sign of old age.

Wasn't he a PC musician? Please correct me if I am WrOnG!
Oh I just had a thought, maybe he did 'Wizball' on the PC. I know it was something to do with posh 'business' computers that scared me and were used in 'business' by 'business' people !

Nick was a very bright lad who was at university. He would spend his end-of-term holidays working at Ocean and would do a complete game conversion for PC in that short time.
Very clever - and nice - bloke.

That's him - he did a corking version of Wizball on the PC during his summer break. Wonder what he's upto these days... Shit, that was like 19 years ago. I feel soooo old.

You are old. But what the heck does that make me?
Even worse... think about David and John...they're in their 60's.
Many a good tune played on an old fiddle.
As for the group photo...I remember that day well. I was actually round the corner in a bar with Colin Stokes, possibly Mr Meegan and Mr Wahid I think...which would explain his absence from the picture. He normally never missed a chance to get close to Digby. (woof)
That picture has always amused me.
Mr Cowley in his best C&A catalogue pose at the front.
Martin McDonald looking like a contract killer two rows back. Mr Paul Hughes with a pained expression on his grid for some unknown reason. But when you notice that Kane is in front of him it makes you wonder if our diminuitive City fan has the pie-eater's nuts in a firm grip.
Paul Owens looks like a member of Toto.
Lorraine is strategically placed behind Diggers for maximum pushing power when a lorry goes by.
Alan Shortt is conveniently on the edge of the picture, getting ready for a dash round to the Square Albert.
And best of all... Elmer sporting a Frank Spencer sleeve-less jumper while looking like one of the undead.
What a bunch of beauts.

Never mind the expression - how sodding malnourished do I look. Any more gaunt and Bob Geldof would've been in frame trying to raise money for the starving bloke at the back!

Well at least you're not Zach...he seems to be dumbfounded as he ferrets around in a bout of pocket billiards. he's either found something...or lost something down there...or maybe it's the ginger lad behind him who looks like he's got his hand wedged firmly up Zach's arse.
