Six decades of Cardiff City v Huddersfield Town matches.

CoymaySix more questions on our upcoming opponents with the answers to be posted on here tomorrow.

60s. The man in the photo is probably better known for what he did after his playing career ended. However, after failing to establish himself at Huddersfield, he moved on in 1967 to join a club who were regular visitors to Ninian Park during an era when they were punching above their weight – can you name him?

  1. Clive Harry says:

    80’s – Kevin Meacock?

  2. The other Bob Wilson says:

    Yes, it is Clive.

  3. Clive Harry says:

    90’s – Terry Evans?

  4. The other Bob Wilson says:

    No, it’s not him Clive – I’ve posted the answers now if you want to have a look at them.

  5. Clive Harry says:

    Can’t find any record of Chris Honor playing for AFC Newport? Terry Evans played for the County not AFC so I can see where I went wrong.

  6. The other Bob Wilson says:

    I see Newport don’t appear as a former club of his on Wikipedia, but the website I used in setting the question had him down as having played for them and Basingstoke (who also aren’t on his Wikipedia page).
