Name the Players

This photo is taken from today's posting on the Swans' site (IWD | A tribute to Dolly 'the tea lady' Phillips | Swansea). I am guessing that it was taken in the mid/late 60s. Vic Gomersall (Man City, Swans LB) was second from the left. Who are the others?

Just a total guess - might the player on the left be midfielder (right half) Peter Davies whom we signed from Arsenal? Problem is timing though. I think Vic joined us in 1966 whilst Peter came in 1959 with Dave Dodson as part of the Mel Charles sale to Gunners. Did their careers overlap at some time? Not at all sure about any of the others.

The one on the right Herbie Williams? Well before my time but I certainly recognize the tea lady none other than Julia Child.

The guy on the right is not Herbie … pretty sure of that. Herbie would have been wearing glasses.

I am wondering if the guy on the left is Willie Screen.

Certainly not Herbie. quite often when he'd forgotten to take his contact lenses out in the dressing room all us schoolboys would be on our hands and knees on the pitch looking for them after the game after he'd been heading the ball, talk about looking for a needle in a haystack.
