Bangor City legends at Farrar Road's final match on 27 December 2011


A number of Bangor City legends confirmed that they would attend City's final match at Farrar Road, played against Prestatyn Town on 27 December 2011.

In the event, we don't think that all of these in the list below actually made it on the day. Many of the legends also signed a pair of replica shirts at the match - again, possibly not all who were there did so, but we'll try to confirm who did and who did not.

Legends at the 'Farrar End'. We think, left to right Ken Birch, Ifor Roberts, Iorys Griffiths, with Gareth Hughes in the background, but are happy to be corrected. Thanks to the Bangr Mail for the pic.
Over the next week or so, we'll add a brief pen picture of each individual, and we'd appreciate your contributions and comments on each, but in the meantime, here's a list of the names we had as having accepted the invitation.
