MYSTERY SOLVED!
A few weeks back I posted this ad for "the Flaming Hearth" restaurant from 1978. It features Hugh O'Neill, John Houska, and Fran Lemons. The guy sitting behind the soccer ball was the mystery. He was not listed on the Rogues player roster and I had no clue to his identity. Thanks to former Houston Hurricane (NASL) and Memphis Americans (MISL) player Matt O'Sullivan the mystery is solved. I received an e-mail from Matt and he told me that the person in question is Ray Nolan. Ray played college soccer at Chico State in California. He spent a short time with the Rogues before moving to the Houston Hurricane where he made several appearances for the Hurricane's reserve team. Very special thanks go out to Matt O'Sullivan for providing the answer to this question.

LOCAL AD FEATURING ROGUES PLAYERS, 1978
This ad for "The Flaming Hearth" featured, from left to right, ?, Fran Lemons, John Houska, and Hugh O'Neill. It was a bar/ restaurant that would run shuttle buses from the restaurant to the games. It closed down a while back but the building is still there and is currently unoccupied. I do not know the identity of the guy on the far left behind the soccer ball. He is not pictured in any media guide or team photo. If anyone knows who he is please let me know! You can contact me at gorogues@gmail.com.

MORE ROGUES FAN MEMORIES!
Rogues fan Bill sent me these great photos from the Rogues fan day on August 2, 1978, just prior to the home game against the California Surf. Bill was seven years old (he's the one in the tank top) and attended the game with his brother, sister, and father. The players pictured are: Henry "Mad Dog" McCully (12), John Houska (20), Neil "Beep, Beep" Smillie (4), Tony Field (10), and Bobby "B.T. Express" Thomson (2). Bill, thanks very much for sharing these great photos! It is really appreciated! If anyone else has any Rogues related photos, please e-mail them to me at gorogues@gmail.com.
