1958-59 Heinerle: Curly Neal or Bob Gibson?

Great card.

It looks like the player has a pencil mustache (correct?). A few of the Globetrotters that year sported that look. It looks to me like Herman Taylor or Tex Harrison but I couldn't be certain.

It would be cool if it was Wilt Chamberlain (he was with the Globetrotters before joining the NBA) but I don't think it's him.

The roster for the 58-89 Globetrotters was:

Wilt Chamberlain
Herman Taylor
Clarence Wilson
Tex Harrison
Meadowlark Lemon
McCoy Ingram
Roman Turmon
Millard Harris
Ed Burton

Ferguson Jenkins was a globetrotter at one time also 1967 to 1969 off-seasons.

Neither, and it ain't Meadowlark. This is:



ML was #36 and (not surprisingly) he was talking in the image.

Neal was still in high school at that point and didn't join the Globetrotters until after college IIRC. Cool card though.

It's one of these guys;

Herman Taylor
Clarence Wilson
Tex Harrison
McCoy Ingram
Roman Turmon
Millard Harris
Ed Burton

Actually thought it was Jesse Arnelle but he was on the team in 56.
