Jaggernaut Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 another from the OPTP Facebook group. Interesting, looks like a young Davie McParland to the left, and Sandy Brown tussling with the keeper..... Also looks like a public park, and the referee is wearing a suit ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of Wardlaw. Official history book says two appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 This is the wildest of wild shots but is that opposition player Davie Wilson? Could it be a bounce game v Rangers? Could the keeper be Norrie Martin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the keeper be Norrie Martin? I think you may well be right! Norrie Martin spent 12 years at Ibrox, but only made 75 first team appearances. Mostly understudy to Mabawzer.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Norrie Martin spent 12 years at Ibrox, but only made 75 first team appearances. Mostly understudy to Mabawzer. At least one of his 75 appearances (50 year ago last month) was most memorable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly understudy to Mabawzer. He signed for us in October 1970. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Not sure if this one has already been posted.... Even if it has, it's always good to see a goal going in against yon shower. Who are the three Jags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Jimmy Davidson and Andy Kerr Is that Hampden? I wonder why we wore that outfit sometimes, when there was clearly no colour clash with the opposition. What were the colours: navy blue with white sleeves, or bordeaux and light blue, like the (awful, in my view) away kit of several years ago?

The 1953 LCF at Hampden, navy blue & white sleeves are traditional colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbank boy Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 It looks empty! 38,529 is the recorded attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 38,529 is the recorded attendance. It was close to 89,000. We were playing Fifers so your figure might only include those who paid to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuthejag Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 The 89,000 is wrong, someone a few years back (maybe Bob Cramsey) wrote a article saying it had been a misprint / typo / error that had never been corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
