Is that Martin Ryan, 7th from the right on the front row?

8th from left on back row Trevor Foster, later MBE, of Bradford Northern, who did so much for that club both as player and administrator and was later instrumental in saving the club from extinction.

Caroline, yes that it is Martin. I think that's Tom Brown landlord of the PARK HOTEL second left back row.
