Good efforts but not quite correct, As Paul Franklin was not an ex player at the time
as he didnt sign for us till 1989 and wasnt in the starting line up that day, Neil Smilie was never an ex player.
Again good try, but not correct. As you had Mike Keen the father of Kevin skippering the side, There was also Tony Hazell who was from Wycombe, but never played for the Wanderers.
Only a part answer I'm afraid - was it Brentford in the London Wartime Cup Final? They featured Les Smith and George Wilkins, but that leaves an ex-Wycombe player missing.
Not the answer i'm looking for, but learnt something today, that Ray Wilkins
dad was also a pro.
interesting note on wiki
"In December 1949 George returned to Hayes as a coach. He was coach 3 times at Hayes until sacked in January 1961, when the players complained of his over-rigorous training methods."
(Something Ray could never be accused of, over-rigorous running or tackling !!)
