Ian Morris maybe? Pretty sure it's Colin Miller who only made 1 appearance for the reserves that season in a friendly at Dumbarton in Sep. He moved to Shettleston soon after i think.

Jaggernaut Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 The Jag is easy (if you know the answer!). How about the opponent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly Motherwell you can see “RWELL” in the advert above the ball. No idea who it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earnock Jag Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Frank Coulston and definitely Tam Forsyth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Tom and Earnock Jag are correct: the player who can't keep up with Coulston is Tam Forsyth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 With a couple of exceptions, the players in the red shirts are in the Reserves squad. How many can you name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I'll have a go - Back - (l->r) Auld, Holmes, Joe Craig, Fitzpatrick?, Campbell, Stamp, J Hansen, Arrol, Rough, Kellachan, Anderson, Houston, A Hansen, Clark, McQueen??, D. MacKinnon Front - (l->r) Aiken?, Chalmers, D. McDowall, Rooney, ??, Glavin, Lochrie?, T. Rae, ??, Gibson, Lawrie (what is Bobby Lawrie doing in a reserve top, Auld??!!?), Physio (can't recall but he was a great servant to the club for many years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Physio was Willie Ross iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Good job, JeanieD! I don't remember Holmes or McQueen at all, and your question marks are also mine! The physio was Willie Ross: http://partickthistleahistory.wikifoundry.com/obituaries/1986-willie-ross/ Interesting Celtic-related contingent in the photo: three guys were at Parkhead before joining Thistle, and four of those players went on to play for Celtic.

Winter of '63 Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I can't add to any of the unknowns which suggests none of them became first-team regulars...though with Andy Anderson, Alan Hansen as well as Bobby Lawrie in reserve colours we clearly had strength in depth! I think the gent in the suit on the front row is Scot Symon rather than Chairman James Aitken. I didn't recognise Jim Holmes who had a good career as a left back in the decent Morton side in the Andy Ritchie era but don't think he played for the first team for Thistle. Ex Celts are Auld, Chalmers & Rooney. Rough, Glavin, Joe Craig and Gibson played for Celtic...but they were all great Jags. Hope someone can come up with the missing names...it's really annoying me!

Winter of '63 Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks EKJ II - I don't recognise any of the missing names! Was Munro the striker we bought from Clydebank to replace Jimmy Bone? I think he had injury problems...I am not sure he ever played for the first team and definitely never scored.

This was indeed the Alan Munro who joined us from Clydebank. I've attached his Archive profile below. He only played for the first team on three occasions, and he did score one goal, in an away friendly against Stenhousemuir, which we won 2-1. The 3rd match he played in ( Not listed in the profile) was a friendly against Rot-Weiss Essen at Firhill on Monday 4th September 1972. We won 3-2. I used to attend quite a few matches at this time, but I don't remember him either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
