a f kincaid Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Can anyone tell me the date/match etc that the Great Lambino told the medical staff to tell McGlashan (?) who had suffered a head knock that he was Pele and get him back on? Believe it was 92/3 or 93/4. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One t in Scotland Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Always thought it was a game at Fir Park early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m like my wife when I go out shopping. I never want to stop.” On the transfer market “The chairman said on the bus going to Ibrox that if it went to a replay it couldn’t go on at Douglas Park because of the new lights being installed there. I said to him: ‘I suppose we’ll just have to go and win it then.’” Following Accies’ Scottish Cup win over Rangers in January 1987 “Our defence couldn’t keep weans out of a close.” Following Thistle’s 6-3 defeat of Dundee in August 1992 “That’s great.

The reference to the Pele quote was: His most famous quote, after being told that striker Colin McGlashan was concussed and didn’t know who he was in 1993. Doesn’t help with which game it was though!

It was the physio coming back from treating a player who had knocked his head against the post. There is absolutely no doubt that player was Colin McGlashan. Has anyone thought of emailing the club ? Gerry must have been in the squad at that time and may remember the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So McGlashan spent a year not knowing who he was. Bet he was glad when '94 came around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I wonder if Pele has ever wondered what it would be like to be Colin McGlashan.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced this would have been a great piece of management to be honest. Pele liked to come a bit deeper to get the ball and use his pace and sharpness - definitely a number 10 whereas Dibble was definitely more a penalty box striker - I’m not convinced he’d have been so good playing deeper. On the other hand John’s moving of Davie Irons to sweeper was a master stroke so I suppose who am I to doubt the master!

I don't think Lambie would have been allowed to play someone with concussion in today's game. Isn't there an automatic medical suspension - a week or a game?

robphil Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 i think if you continue digging deeper into 'tell him he's pele...' you will discover this yarn is of the apocryphal variety...let's just enjoy it as a lovely memory of a lovely man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
