@AndyMc121 @MarineAFC @BarryLenton @CrosenderWay @seftonvetsfc @ParkinsonsUK @QCHospice Brilliant. Which one is your mum?

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

Hasta La vista mum. The perfect mum for me. Mum, front row, second from right, with the partners of @MarineAFC and Liverpool senior non-league cup, 1969. @BarryLenton @CrosenderWay thanks for donations from @seftonvetsfc to @ParkinsonsUK @QCHospice
Enjoy your Easter fixtures x

@KoloskovSerge @MarineAFC @msacommittee @Richardscanla13 @Littlebirds00 @paulmoran62 Thank you, Sergey

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

For dad. One year on. Here he is with Yashin and Beskov (c 1970) Dinamo Moscow and USSR keeper and manager. @MarineAFC @msacommittee @RichardScanla13 @Littlebirds00 @paulmoran62

@KoloskovSerge @stuck_80s @Fergie_Years Thanks Sergey. Keep filling in the gaps please. Dave

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Keep in touch. Let me know if any other interest in dad and the 1966 World Cup. Dave

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Definitely not dad in the pic with the Italians. Dad’s uniform was the dark jacket, collar and tie.

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Does it say where this photograph is taken?

Are the two men KGB officers?

It was a closely knit group supervised by KGB officers. That would be my assumption. Dave

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Yes. Ayresome Park. The stand furthest away was built for the 1966 World Cup

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 That is the first time that I’ve seen it. What a great picture. Thank you, Sergey.

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 No. Dad is not in this picture. Just for confirmation.

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Yes, very likely. Italy and USSR shared training facilities at Durham university for the qualifying rounds.

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Thank you so much Sergey. Yes, that is dad. I have never seen this picture before. Dad made a habit of sitting on the bench, where possible.

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Will do Sergey. I will also have a further look for any photos with Bakhramov and dad. Does the Italy/USSR shared training agreement make sense of location?

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Yes, that’s dad. This picture was taken at either Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough or Roker Park, Sunderland.

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@KoloskovSerge @Littlebirds00 @Richardscanla13 Thank you Sergey

@Scousegooner @victon123 @BarryLenton @Littlebirds00 @LFC @SpartakMoscowEN That’s a lovely thing to start my Saturday morning @Scousegooner
Whenever dad took me to Man Utd on match day, when he looked after Andrei and Eric, he would say: it’s just like Marine (the values) but a 100 times bigger.

[David Scanlan @daveyscan]

@victon123 @Littlebirds00 @BarryLenton @LFC @SpartakMoscowEN He is at a special club and hopefully it will be another special season for everyone connected to Marine. Best of luck.
