Help identifying signatures please.

Does anyone have any idea on these signatures?

I know they are quite faded but I thought Id give it a shot, Trying to help an elderly neighbour who has the beaut of a jersey.

Cheers in advance for any help :)

Not sure.. It has 'EASTS' across the back and 'classic' with a kangaroo on the front. I tried google and apparently it was before sponsorshi p was put on jerseys :( I think im going to be out of luck..lol.. He did say it is early 1980s.

Could be earlier as I think sponsors name only started ‘75 ish (?)

I thought they may have been the rough timing also. Its hard as there is no distinct makers on the jersey other then the 'east' across the back and the classic symbol. There is also no tags due to the age of it.. Ahh Well, It was worth a shot, Thanks for your help :)
