It brought back quite a few memories when I read Robert Reid's bit on the official site on a match with Queens Park from 1956. I was still a couple of years short of my first Jags match but the man who was instrumental in starting me off on the Jaggy trail was playing that day and his cousin was in goal, too. I'm talking of George Smith our then twenty year old centre who had just banged in a couple of goals to get us to the League Cup semi in a match against Cowdenbeath. George was like lightning and was a regular winner at sprint meetings and I'm sure he bagged 149 goals for us all told. Can you imagine what a twenty year old scoring goals like that now would be worth? I can report he is still going strong at age eighty and would pass for twenty years younger quite easily. The goalie, his cousin Willie, passed on a couple of years ago, though.
