a f kincaid Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 A'm no playin' any more! You're quite right. Not Firhill. 29 December 1979 was the only time the identified players played at Cappielow. 3-1 win Melrose (2) and McAdam. Hutchison for Morton Rough, MacKinnon, Whittaker, Campbell, McAdam, Anderson, Doyle (J), Melrose, O'Hara, Gibson, Park (Jardine). (Still think it's Doyle on the line however.)

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Roddy Hutchison, he had to be one of the worst Jags signings ever. Did he ever move . . . actually move? He only had two paces; dead slow and stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Correct on Willie Ormond. It is Firhill. I'd guess those poles were for lights for the greyhounds. It's definitely not Cunningham. Was that one resolved? Bobby Gibb???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Was that one resolved? Bobby Gibb???? If it's 31 March 1956 then it could be and the 55-56 and 56-57 team photos in the OH suggest it might well be. Looks a stick-on. Smith, Kerr, Gibb, Harvey, Davidson, Mathers, McKenzie, Wright, Sharp, Ewing, Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a f kincaid Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Don't remember too many grounds that had the floodlights on stalks above stand/enclosure but I'll open the bidding and say it's Rugby Park - although not sure why Kilmarnock would be playing in white. Could be Billy Cunningham running back which would make it one of 7 matches between between 60-61 and 68-69. Don't recognise anyone else so very little to go on.

stuthejag Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The stand looks like Cappielow or Bayview I think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Is that not Nobby Clark rather than Billy Cunningham? It does look like Charlie Smith and John Gibson in the background. No idea about the Thistle Player making the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a f kincaid Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Good call Stu. Could be Bayview. Found some old photos of the ground and the building to the right of the stand looks to fit the bill but either before or after this match, the floodlights were on vertical poles along the pitch in the photo. Still, if we go with Charlie Smith, Johnny Gibson, Nobby Clark and Frank Coulston it can only be 15 Aug 1970. LC 1-1. The only game all 4 played in at Bayview. 3 Oct 1970 will give you Smith, Clark and Coulston. 2nd Div 0-0. 18 Aug 1971 you can have Clark and Coulston. L Cup 3-2. 4 Dec 1971 shows just Coulston. 1st Div 3-1. 20 Sep 1972 shows Clark and Coulston. L Cup 0-1. 28 Oct 1972 shows Clark, Gibson, Coulston. 1st Div 1-0.

Blackpool Jags Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 ^ ^ But are we still wearing the traditional hoops by the start of '70 / '71 season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 If it is the East Fife game in August 1970 I was there - holiday in St. Andrews bus to Leven and a walk up to Methil. I cannot rightly remember if we were in the hoops - I think we might have been as it was customary in those days for the home team to change strips when a clash occurred. It finished 1-1 - Alex Rae equalised late on with a header from a corner. As far as I remember the yellow jersey and red shorts combination was first used at the first home league game against Stenhousemuir (4-0) a couple of weeks later. Having said that - I'm still not 100% sure it is Bayview nor am I totally sure as to who the players are - old age makes you remember some things and forget most of the others.

Jaggernaut Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Stu's suggestion of Bayview is correct. It's the 0-0 draw away to East Fife in Oct 1970. We sometimes wore the hoops during that season when the new yellow top would clash too much with the home side's jersey. I'm going for Nobby Clark, then either Hugh Strachan or Charlie Smith further away, and then either Ian Reid or Bobby Lawrie further away. I'd have thought I could recognise any of that squad at any angle, but the guy putting in a tackle is a hard one. Given that he's running his stud's down the guy's spine, could it be Ronnie Glavin? It actually looks like Jim Rowan (below), but he was gone by then. Does anybody remember a Pat Stewart, who played one league game for us at the start of that unforgettable season?

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Iwas sure we beat Scumdee that day? 3-1 I think. Rae would've been my player of the year that season for those two reds he got at Firhill. Unrelated but of similar hilarity was when Griffith, still playing for Livinghell, out of frustration kicked the advertising hoarding, got injured and had to be subbed.
