Front row, third left. Steve Vale. Sadly no longer with us. |
You’re wrong. Third left, front row, is definitely Eric Gates. Steve Vale is third from the right. [Post edited 5 Jul 2023 18:15]

The wiki page for Robin Turner is very good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Turner
I'll tell you who doesn't get enough credit in ITFC history: whoever employed John Carruthers as a scout. |
That would be Bobby Robson. John started after recommending Kevin Beattie and also brought Paul Gascogne down to Portman Road for trials. | | | |

So Carruthers wrote to Robson (recommending Beattie) before he was employed by the club, and then Robson was so impressed by Beattie that he made sure he became an Ipswich scout? Or didn't it work like that at the the time, and scouts recommended (the same) players to all sorts of clubs and earned money if things turned out well? |  | | |

Exactly that. Scouts were attached to clubs but in John’s case he combined the role with a full-time job. Same with George Findlay in Scotland, who had worked with Bobby at Fulham. He had successes with Burley, Wark and Brazil, while he also brought Pat Nevin and Charlie Nicholas down as kids. | | | |
