Aye, the consensus in the pub amongst the sevcovians is it's Gordon Smith. Looks like him to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a f kincaid Posted August 12, 2024 Report Share Posted August 12, 2024 A crafty one! 4/1/1947. PT v Aberdeen. Thistle loaned Aberdeen a set of strips for this match (dark blue with white Thistle) - reason unknown. Played on a muckheap, these two Aberdeen players trooped off at h-t for their audition for the Black and White Minstrels. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he did it's likely his brother Ronnie (many Scotland caps) could also. Anyone able to clear that up? eta a quick look on the excellent Thistle Archive site confirms Donnie did speak Gaelic.

robphil Posted October 5, 2024 Report Share Posted October 5, 2024 Johnny was my very first football hero. When he turned 80 in 2005 I penned a short article in the Telegraph celebrating his birthday and making mention of the puskas comment. His daughter subsequently wrote to me saying my jottings had reached Johnny in tiree and that he was 'pleased as punch..' maybe the jags' finest ever player? That's another argument... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not normally have a clue about these, but I am going for the Thistle players as being Jim Melrose standing and Colin McAdam sitting, and the Hibs players as being John Brownlie standing and Des Bremner sitting.

Very Bitter Jag Posted October 11, 2024 Report Share Posted October 11, 2024 My first thought too but I think strip to early for Colin McAdam's era. I'll go for Harry Johnston instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robphil Posted October 19, 2024 Report Share Posted October 19, 2024 As this topic approaches it's 10th anniversary, the 235 pages are a constant delight. Fantastic foaties, marvellous memories, amusing anecdotes; so my thanks again to Jaggernaut for kicking things off. Dipping into any page at random is a reminder of just why we are all Jags' fans... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
