I can name a few of these great players, but can anyone name them all?

I'll have a guess at some of the names. Back Row,
Bill Sim ( Thorfinn)?, ?.
Middle. Jim Donaldson (Thorfinn), Davie Fox (Thorfinn), John Donaldson( Thorfinn), Jackie Hutchison (Dounby), Magnus (Mugga) Tait (Stromness).
Front. Russell Croy( Rovers), Freddie Hutchison (Dounby), Arthur Dainty ( Holm).
In my opinion, this was the best ever Orkney team.

The missing two on the back row are Arnold Rendall Tankerness goalie and Jock Cusiter from Orphir.

Who did Arnold Rendall play for? I think that Jock Cursiter played for Rovers.
