Aries, is the Baggie player in centre of pic John Talbot ?  You are a whiz on these old photographs.

Yes Talbot was playing that day; I looked it up in my copy of Matthews.
The goal scorers were Clive Clark (2) and Astle.

But here's a puzzle for the other Ancients on here to answer.

Playing on the right wing that day was a player listed as R Rees. I don't remember him.

He played just 10 matches for us that season covering both wing positions. He scored 3 goals in total; his last goal coming in our 6-3 rout of Man Utd at home. (We regularly stuffed 'em in those days)

The following season he made 24 appearances (six goals) and then disappears off the team sheets
His final game being against Southampton on the 18 January 1969.

I often went to matches in those days especially against the 'Red Devils' but, for the life of me I don't remember this player.

Any supporter from this era with a better memory than mine?

Silver, we bought RR from the Sky Blues. He was a regular up-and-down terrier type of winger (much like Chippy) and had a decent shot on him. Longish brown hair, about 5'8" who was a regular for Wales. I don't remember who we sold him to, though, but he was quite a decent player.
