stuthejag Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I know it's Johnny McKenzie but for all the old pics I've seen I've never seen the scoreboard or the wee canopy type thing in the corner. I wasn't even sure it was Firhill at first. Â Â It's McKenzie vs, Falkirk at Firhill, 25 Aug 1956 a 2-0 Win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Â Great strip! Â I'm only certain of: Back row: Donnie McKinnon; Front row: Joe McBride, Billy Hainey, Neil Duffy, Davie McParland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright, McKinnon Donlevy.  Smith,McBride, Hainey, Duffy and McParland  Might be wrong but goalie might be too slim to be Johnnie Freebairn.

Lindau Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 the very bestest strip ever!!!!!!!!! Â That is the first strip I ever had, though in those days it didn't have the badge on and you usually had to buy it at Hoeys in Maryhill Rd or Partick!!

robphil Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Who is Federico Renucci, Rob? he was our no.3 behind tommy ledgerwood and john freebairn. if you google fred renucci there is an evening times article dated 1959 when he asked for a transfer due to limited 1st team appearances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robphil Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 thought freebairn was broader because he was also a star on the highland games circuit. again, if you google him there is a nice article from 'the scotsman' in 2013. sorry, i can not add the link but 'freebairn...partick thistle...highland games' brings up the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yeah my memory of John is that he fairly filled the goal, though maybe not as much as Tubby Ogston the old Aberdeen goalie!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robphil Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yeah my memory of John is that he fairly filled the goal, though maybe not as much as Tubby Ogston the old Aberdeen goalie!! at the opposite end of the spectrum was jocky roberston of third lanark (whom i will forever remember as 'jimmy clitheroe in a woolly polo-neck') who stood a diminutive 5'5". he must have been a brave man because goalies were not granted a private exclusion zone in those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad started taking me to games when I was 2, so I have been told, and Freebairn is the first jags goalkeeper that I can remember. Probably saw TL but he hasn't stuck in the memory. That team is one of my earliest jags team memories....and what a team it was! What year was that Stu....early 60s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my earliest away memories was seeing this tiny figure in goals at Cathkin Park. Even in those days when most guys werent giants, wee Jockie was exceptionally small.....probably one of the smallest ever pro goalies!

It's a Saturday ,McKenzie...might be scoring....but how did you get the game based on the limited info in that pic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
