Considering the size of the team and what medals they brought home, I'd guess that the 1932 Olympic team was our most successful per head.

Yes HoldenV8 - in those days competitiors paid their way. Only a few could afford to go in the "amateur" days before huge government and commercial sponsorship, so you would only go if you had a good chance

Stuart said:
Yes indeed....the very thought when I first saw this pic...what an amazing array of diffferent caps and hats and an interesting photograph too. Thank you. Stuart.

Stuart You're very welcome!
Tammy said:
looks like the photographer posed them perfectly, then left that empty chair in the foreground which is distracting....himmm
Sheila Ryan said:
It's actually the empty chair that really makes this for me.

An earlier Lord Clonbrock (I don't know his number, but born 1807)., played 5 first class cricket matches, at least twice for England. His first-class batting average was 1.62. A gentleman rather than a player. www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/11645.html

It is a very nice photo and they do make for a good looking group. Uncle Gaybo is yer man if you could contact him, he would have been there around then unless I am mistaken. Maybe he is even in there. The right hand parting is not the only one, that lad in the plimsolls or "tackies" as we called them in Limerick was in danger of the ire of the Christian Brothers for wearing those in the front row.
Nick Stewart said:
Second from right, middle row. Were's your jacket boy?! Great photo.

Swordscookie Swiftly checked an authoritative source (Wikipedia). Apparently Gay Byrne (famous Irish broadcaster) was born 5 August 1934, which'd make him only about 7 in 1941. I think that's a little younger than these chaps. And love tackies - have tagged for that...
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Nick Stewart I wonder did he get in trouble, what with it being photo day and all?
Swordscookie said:
Gaybo's older brother who died a few years back (can't think of his name just now - AL?) was also in that school and also worked for RTE. The chap on the right on the middle row looks a lot like him. There's something about the chap 3rd from right in the front row next to the lad with the tackies that is very familiar and reminds me of a Barrister or politician.
