Stevenston Cross Keys RSC Barcelona Picture
I thought this might be of some interest to some people on here. I recently got in touch with a lad online that repairs and colours old black and white photos. I asked him to see what he could do with the picture of supporters leaving Stevenston in 1972 to head to Barcelona.
I think the results are absolutely fantastic, it's incredible to see the picture coming to life. Below are the original and the coil outed/repaired versions.
Btw, if anyone can name those in the picture it would be a great help, I'm trying to track down who was all in the picture and have had had some success so far but I'm still missing a few names.

Which names do you know? If you could point them out on the picture it would be appreciated.creamolafoam wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:28 pm Have seen the b&w pic before, but your right about the result, just brings it to life.

I recognise Derek (Deek) McCabe, the dark haired guy who's face is almost directly below the 'C' in 'Cross'. Deek still frequents the Cross Keys to this day.
Also, the young boy with the big smile on his face who's standing right in front of the cross keys supporters banner. I think he might be a chap I know who has the surname, Gibson. If it is him I'm fairly sure he still frequents the pub nowadays as well.

Was the wee boy from dugtrack Michael?
Those wimin were in the nip.
Re: Stevenston Cross Keys RSC Barcelona Picture
Aye I think he was from there bonzo. I believe it might be a young Robert Gibson - but I'm not 100% sure about it.
Robert has a Sister named Jean, in case that rings a bell.

Yes, Robert Gibson is the lad down the front left. He was one we already had.
Re: Stevenston Cross Keys RSC Barcelona Picture
A great job done by the person who added colour to the pic GEOGDC.
Could you possibly list all the names that you already have though? as that might help to stop folk who are trying to help ID people in the photo from posting the names of people that you're already aware of.

Also his sister jean and maybe William Patterson?

Re: Stevenston Cross Keys RSC Barcelona Picture
I think you could be right about a young Jean Gibson being in the pic too bonzo. I never really noticed before because her head is turned sideways to the camera. The wee lassie who's half-kneeling at the left side of the Union Jack might well be Jean.

Man on the left : blue jacket and cream trousers : that wouldn't be Hughie Ferguson, would it?
Hugh died some time back. Collapsed in a pub, I believe.
