Jaggernaut Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Only know a few in this but, not the best picture as Stu says. Â Front middle there is Bobby Law, Willie McGuire, Eddie Gallagher and John Flood. Lex Grant third from left? Â I was going to make a "joke" about two pandas.... but they look like Unos.

Maybe McLean as it could be Workie between Law and McGuire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it can only be 9th of March, 1963..... A 0-1 defeat to QoS in front of 9,000. Â That's the year we finished 3rd and so qualified for the old Fairs Cup, but our last home game of the season was against Falkirk, for which the Official History book gives a crowd of......only 1,000 ?????

That could be due to it being one of the worst winters in history. Months without a game and at the end of the season teams often playing three games a week. Could be match fatigue or purely being able to afford so many matches in such a short space of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Or perhaps the naysayers on here were more typical of the fanbase back then, and it was a protest at only coming third? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Â Donnie McKinnon on the left. Third on his right: Kenny Watson, then Colin McAdam? Last player on the right: Iain McDonald? Â Frankly, I'm struggling here. Is it a reserves squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Not done too well with this, although there are a few that I recognise but can't name. That strip always thows me as well as I seem to remember us not playing a full season in it for some reason. Â Donnie McKinnon, don't know, don't know, Kenny Watson, Colin McAdam, Ian Spittal, John Workman, Archie McLean, Alan Dinnie, don't know, John Mitchell, don't know, Ian McDonald Willie McGuire, don't know, Bobby Law, Eddie Gallagher, Pat Kelly, Alan Logan, don't know (a Gibson?) Â Can someone help put me out my misery? In between Spittal and Mitchell looks like John Brough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a much older top and I thought we went from the pale yellow Mortons Rolls strip to the Colonel Gee's one. I don't recall us wearing white shorts either, so is this a pre-season training photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's embarrassing - I actually know Davie Dolan but didn't recognise him. Â McGhie and Pirrie came back to me but I just can't remember Rafferty, Lyden or Glenn Graham.
