Looks a bit like Chris Kamara.

Maybe it's Khris Camara
timter51@reddit (OP)
That was one of my original thoughts, but it doesn't really look like him from around that time hair wise.

Ok, I also reckon John Conteh,
Lammtarra95@reddit
Eyes look wrong for John Conteh and more importantly, so does his age. Conteh was a 1970s boxer and OPs photo is from 20-ish years later.
EdmundTheInsulter@reddit
John Contehs younger brother

Kenny Johnston Sherman according to Gemini image search?

That game singlehandedly broke more joysticks than all my rage-quits combined together.

Yes many a teenage boy spent hours in their bedroom waggling their joystick to Daly Thompson

And Spectrum ZX keyboards, hammering away at the F and G...

He developed game for ZX Spectrum.

The really annoying thing is how familiar he is. Though none of my image searches agree.
DanFraser@reddit
Looks like Mark Elliott with a haircut to me.

I followed athletics around that time and it isn't anyone I recognise. The uneven eyes is quite distinctive too. Any idea on what approximate year it was?
timter51@reddit (OP)
It's the way I'm thinking now yes... maybe even a cricketer! This was down in Sussex.
ToriaLyons@reddit
That jumper looks more cricket than football too.
Lammtarra95@reddit
OP is in the photo yet cannot narrow down the year or ask an old schoolchum?
SomeHSomeE@reddit
Honestly I think you need to post this on wider subs because we need to find out now

So your school got stood up by a real athlete and just got some guy they found hanging round the back of Tesco to be in all your photos?
The gymnast may have been Hayley Price? I seem to remember a Hayley.
I also got David Wilkie (swimmer) and I think Duncan Goodhew too, but that might have been swimming club.
timter51@reddit (OP)
Yes indeed, Hayley Price!!

I don't really know Jeff.
timter51@reddit (OP)
I don't think it's Kamara

Chris Kamara

Definitely similar in the face, but doesn't look like any photo I've found of Kamara from late 80s / early 90s.
