Vendee FC

I found the attached pic, dated Easter 1979, of the Vendee football team which played in a tournament in Marseille. 40 years ago, more or less exactly! I wonder if anyone else in the picture will see this - if so, do say hello!

L-R, back row: Derek Vanston, Doug Martin, Kim Erswell, Pete Canham, Dave Nicholas, Arthur Dawes, John McClure.

L-R front row: Austin Guest, S.K. Biswas, R.B. Roy, Dick Dockett, Phil Bowler.

I seem to remember No.3 was where the extra length was added. I sailed on the Vosges and Vendee as 2/O in 84 & 85 with Pentmarine. Charlie Prescott was skipper. They were Still great ships.
Have found the negatives of the Vendee back in 77. Will get them scanned. I'll attach them to a post, the gallery's a waste of time now it's unsearchable!
Here's the first one in Cadiz, it's only low res for this site.
