Answers.

60s. Brian Clark is sixth from the right and Peter Hooper is two places further right than him.

70s. David Harvey is the Leeds goalkeeper, Terry Yorath is the player on the ground and Gordon McQueen is covering on the goal line. The Bristol City player is Ernie Hunt of donkey kick free kick fame from his Coventry days.

80s. City top scorer in 1983/84, Gordon Owen.

90s. Gary Shelton, who scored the only league goal in matches between the teams during this decade.

00s. Lee Peacock.

10s. Steven Caulker, Nicky Maynard and Ben Nugent are all former Cardiff players, while Jon Stead was the only player without a City connection who had scored for the wurzels at Cardiff City Stadium before Friday’s match during the current decade (yes, I know Bradley Orr scored for us to win an FA Cup replay back in 2010!).
