Six decades of Cardiff City v Huddersfield Town matches.

Last one of the season, answers to be posted on here on Sunday.

60s. Nearly three quarters of this defender’s first team appearances in a career which started in 1955 and ended in 1972/3 at Drogheda United were made for Huddersfield, who is he?

70s. Apologies for the poor quality of this picture, but this right footer who played the whole of his career on the left was a regular visitor to Ninian Park with Huddersfield in the late 60s and early 70s. His side had kept three consecutive clean sheets in winning two and drawing one of their previous visits here, but in April 73 they let in four as City won a relegation showdown which played a huge part in keeping us up at Town’s expense, who is he?

80s. The player on the right in this picture turned out for City in a game against Huddersfield during this decade, who is he?
