Gordon Taylor on the right so I doubt it's an England squad. Don't know who the one with the 'tache is but the other three all played for Birmingham at one time, though that may be a coincidence. Could be an award for Latch's 30 goal season - I think Francis was runner-up to him. Not sure what Taylor would have got an award for, certainly not goal scoring!
I think that's Steve Phillips who scored a shed load of goals at the lower levels and certainly could have won one of the league's top scorer awards. Maybe a Birmingham connection but don't know about that.

I remember a Phillips played against us for Birmingham alongside Latchford before we signed him. He played quite well as far as I can recall. Could be the same player, which would give the photo a weird Birmingham connection, given that Bob is beardless so I doubt any of them were playing for Birmingham at the time.

It could be the leading scorers in the whole Football League in 1977/78.

Steve Phillips (32 for Brentford)
Bob Latchford (30 for us)
Trevor Francis (25 for Birmingham)
Bob Hatton (22 for Blackpool - maybe being collected by Taylor in his absence?).

All current or ex Birmingham players. Just a theory...
