I imagine most of them fought in the war so whoever they are they are all winners.

 

[robbieray]

[Sky Blue Kid]

Strachan at the back... You can't see him though, he's behind the big fooker

 

[robbieray]

Hope the reg isn't an omen GDU 1 Gone Down Under 1 To 2

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

That reg plate is probably worth 10 x more than the whole City squad.

 

[robbieray]

It is , its worth a fiver

That looks like George Curtis directly below the buses first window.

 

[theferret]

Not sure what Mark Robins was doing with the team, but he has aged well (4th left).

I recall going to an away game in the late 80's i think . Charlton away but playing at Selhurst Park . bus broke down we had to get out and push it to get it going again . very similar to the bus in the picture .

Don't recognise any of the players but the coach looks like a Daimler CV. Yes folks, there are bus and coach spotters within our ranks.

I like the CVD 6

Good choice, solid chassis and then the styling of the coach builder. Wish I had one tucked away in a barn. Also the many hundreds of individual coach operators around in those days.
National Express and bus deregulation have alot to answer for imo.

I remember going on a day trip to Blackpool on one of these. We were in Blackpool for about 2 hours then back home lol. No M6 in those days.

At least you got there without having to push the damn thing

I know. Couldn't those football players just move aside so we can see the coach properly!
They should also have had all the players take their seats and then took a photo inside the bus.
