Jaggernaut Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Anybody think that the Herald would have published that story if the player had not played for one or other of the erse cheeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Dave MacKinnon was on off the ball on Saturday talking about this. Also on was Heather Holloway and Kirstin Fraser who were talking about Partick Thistle Her Game too. They were very informative and Thistle are the only Scottish team that has this scheme to get females young and old involved in football both supporting and playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thistle Archive Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Did you know? Donnie and Ronnie MacKinnon were the sons of Dave's great Grandfathers brother, meaning they were second cousins once removed. Also, Murdo MacLeod is Dave's cousin. Remarkably, Donnie and Murdo both played with and managed Thistle at one point. Even wilder is the fact that Dave played for Thistle while his second cousin took charge as caretaker in 1980! He says Firhill was "magical" under Bertie Auld and the gang of crazies, and there are many untold stories in his new book. He done a brill wee video interview with PLZ and we've embedded it on his page @ the Archive → 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 He certainly was a great player for us. A steal for Rangers who paid a very small amount for him, around £30k iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
