It looks like Winstone to me, I thought he lost the tips of his fingers on his right hand?

Is that a confident guess? I thought Winstone too but comparing photos of the 2 there seems to be a bit of a difference in their face shape amongst other thinggs IMO....
Plus i'm sure Winstone lost a few fingers and even though this photo doesn't show both hands fully, all digits appear to be intact!
Eddie Thomas is on Howard's right. It's definitely Winstone.

It's Ashley Giles, the former England spin bowler, aka the King of Spain.
