I'm told . . . that the man in the glasses was Gerry Ryan (a teacher in St. Gers') - I'm making the assumption that he's the man you're referring to - the lad at the back of the picture is from McHale Road and that's John D Clark of Rush Street (aged about 6) sitting in the Sam McGuire the last time Mayo were fortunate enough to win it all the way back in 1951.
