Please note a couple of minor spelling mistakes in the team photo caption

should be Laurie Taylor not Larry Taylor and Sandy Allen should be Sandy Allan

Can I ask whatever happened to Mike Barry former Huddersfield, Carlisle Utd 73-77, Bristol Rovers 77-79, Colombus Magic USA (April 79 to ?) He was a creative midfielder who played for Carlisle in their heady days in the Old First Division.

I replied ... Thanks for the corrections. I rely on people telling me because, I don't pay attention to spelling ! I'm not yet sure what to do with the 'Laurie / Larry' correction. Barry Hugman's book which is the most exact and least full of mistakes of any book I have ever read, says it's 'Larry', short for Lawrence, what makes you think / how do you know it's Laurie ?

Mike replied:
Laurie Taylor it is, as I interviewed once and found out from the man himself.
Although local & national press by and large had him spelt as Larry.
He is/was a postman down in Devon last known whereabouts.

Which just leaves the question as to the whereabouts of Mike Barry, anyone know ?
