Team Photos on the Chairboys Archive Site
You can now see a captioned team photo for every season going back to 1969-70 on http://thechairboys.wixsite.com/wwfcarchive, by clicking on the season on the left hand menu.
This is a remarkable piece of detective work in tracking down many missing seasons. A lot of match photos have been added recently, this site is a really valuable archive.

Impressive.
Certainly is, mind you I could have done without the first picture I looked at having Graham Westley in it.
It's a great site. Thank you to all involved with it.
I dip in to the content now and then and have just noticed something that made me chuckle. In light of our current reputation, I was amused to note that a report on a 1963 match versus Hounslow, in which Wycombe had got in front early, included a comment in reference to Wycombe's play in the 2nd half that, "The pace was slowed right down, to the annoyance of the fans..."
Another 1969-70 team photo has been added, players posing in the shape of a 'W':

It is already on the history section of the official site, but WWEPA have helped archiveman in confirming all the players' names. It seems to have been taken Nov-Dec 1969, after Len Worley left, and just before Viv Busby left in January.
I really love this photo, it is my favourite team photo, of any team, the only one I have seen that could be called artistic. Somebody with imagination had a bright idea.
There is a report on an end of season Q & A with Brian Lee, with some interesting views on Worley and Busby, and on the ideal squad size:

Great pic.
Four photo sets of the last game at Loakes Park now up.

Plus some new colour photos (some admittedly of variable quality) of matches from the 1994-1995 season, with hopefully more to follow later.
Birmingham/Bradford/Stockport/Rotherham/Swansea/Bournemouth/Leyton Orient away.

Also, the long-forgotten FA Cup 1st Round tie at Minehead in 1977.

Thanks @NewburyWanderer, much appreciated, the weekend ends on a positive note. In times of stress I like to reminisce in happier times!
I know it's not yours but the photo of Bluey the Swan next to Big Tel, Swansea October 1994, made me chuckle.
Nice to see some of my photo's make it in there, always of the opinion that photo's are for sharing.
I also have a collection of Adams Park at various stages of construction if that is of interest to anyone ....
Thanks, those are great photos of AP @Jocks_little_helper
