The Thistle Archive Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 It's exactly the Forest collar of the day, so could be they had to loan us a training kit, having checked some old kit sites, think their official away was white and had a badge. This is one for the players themselves really, anybody got Andy Roxburgh or Donnie McKinnon's ear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thistle Archive Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 Exactly 9 years ago... April Dools Day! KRIS DOOLAN became just the 9th man to score 100 competitive goals for Partick Thistle - the first new addition to the club since Davie McParland more than 50 years earlier. The goal put him #1 in terms of league goals scored (91).

Greg Hemphill did the commentary for the DVD (or was it then a video?) of Thistle winning the First Division (ie then second tier) in season 2001-2002. No idea if he is a Thistle fan, but you would think that he must at least have had some positive connection to be asked to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
