Intercontinental Final at White City

Can you put names to these well known faces and the year too? John
Update: Phil Masters says: It was the Intercontinental Final on Sunday August 5th 1979 Back row left to right, I think it is Kai Niemi, Kelly Moran, definitely Malcolm Simmons next I think is Ole Olsen, Jan Andersson, Dave Jessup face just showing, not sure who the chap is at the end but don't think it is a rider.
Front row left to right is Michael Lee, Gordon Kennett, Billy Sanders, John Titman, Hans Nielsen, Finn Thomsen, Ivan Mauger, Larry Ross, John Davis, Peter Collins. Bobby Schwartz also rode in this meeting but can't see him in the photo.
Steve Baker says: London White City page, picture of 1979 Intercontinental Final, the rider named as Kai Niemi is actually Ila Teromaa and the guy at the front of the trailer who was thought not to be a rider is Mike Bast. It is also stated that although you cannot see him on the trailer Bobby Schwartz was also in the meeting,  if you look at the other picture on the site taken from behind the riders you can see Boogaloo and also Kai Niemi at the back of the trailer behind Lee and Teromaa. They have obviously been chopped off the first photo!

Were you there and can you remember what appears to have been a controversial crash.  Judging by the body language of the rider on the left the other guy must be the villain!
