Could be Jim Whalley of Southport perhaps?

"Volley" on 6.3.1974 is probably B.A. Voizey of Yeovil who was in his last season as a FL linesman. The first linesman would therefore almost certainly be a FL referee but no obvious candidate - maybe Ralph Lee of Cheadle simply because he had a 3 letter surname beginning with L.

B.A. Voizey of Yeovil was on linea already involved in the UEFA Cup match 03-10-1973 RWD Molenbeek - Espanyol (referee David W. Smith).

So that's what Alan Bradley did before getting knocked down by a Blackpool tram!

After further thought I wonder if the earlier suggestions of D.A.J. Ling and Jim Whalley may be more likely. Ling was also in his last season as a FL linesman (I originally thought he'd served longer) so he would be a likely fit for "Lin". That would mean the other linesman would be a relatively new FL referee. While Voizey seems a more likely explanation of "Volley" Whalley is also a possibility and he was a relatively new FL ref. While Voizey making a second European appearance that season can't be ruled out - indeed it could have been a good move to use the same linesman again - it would seem unlikely given how the English appointments were done. Sometimes a referee profile would mention that he had done a specific European game but it's hard to test that for Jim Whalley as his League career ended soon afterwards.
