And it looks like a boy in the crowd might be wearing a R&Y bar scarf. And we put a full match hub together to celebrate the find...

Norgethistle Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Quite emotional watching that knowing my Dad (who still attends) and my late Granda are both in that crowd.

Lineup (From Thistle Archives) 1 Willie Smith 2 Jimmy McGowan 3 Bobby Gibb 4 Andy Kerr 5 Jimmy Davidson 6 Alex Wright 7 Johnny Mackenzie 8 Laurie Thomson 9 Joe Hogan 10 George Smith 11 Tommy Ewing Well over half a dozen true legends that will be or are on my list for future Thistle Pins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's merely for personal enjoyment that I'd like to see the article again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robphil Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Given the fact that you initiated what could be this forum's greatest topic - who are the jags in this old photo? - it was yhe least I could do. Still drawn a blank but - I have one more avenue to try!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two other games close to that. Rangers Archives have a clip of a League Cup game from the early 60s, but haven't shared it despite a couple of requests. We always live in hope of finding more. You can find snips of some of our boys on international duty. Sat-24-Oct-1953 [n] L2-3 East Fife (League Cup Final) Wed-31-Oct-1956 [n] L0-3 Celtic (League Cup Final replay) @robphil It seems we have, erm, borrowed your Johnny MacKenzie article from the Telegraph (see 'Scrapbook' tab) A small world - and thank you!
