hamiltonjag Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Rod McD was definitely reported as costing £100k at the time.  When was it we bought him and where did he come from (my memory thinks 1992 and Grimsby)? Was he also the first coloured player for Thistle?  I remember as a wee guy and being absolutely in awe of him, great player. Season 92/93 IIRC.... got him from Walsall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald's debut   94/95, from Walsall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 All this talk about paying transfer fees & now we can barely afford to pay a decent young keeper a wage has got me very sad & angry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 No mix up. Calum Campbell was the one with the 'footballer perm' Â Hair today, gone tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKennan Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Does anyone have any idea how much financial damage that waste of space Cadete inflicted upon the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave on Bobby Law Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Rod McD was definitely reported as costing £100k at the time.  When was it we bought him and where did he come from (my memory thinks 1992 and Grimsby)? Was he also the first coloured player for Thistle?  I remember as a wee guy and being absolutely in awe of him, great player.  Joey Pathak (Asian) played in midfield in the early 80s and at the time was one of the first Asian players I think to play in Scotland. Was Bobby Barnes also pre Rod Macdonald? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Alan Munro was bought from Clydebank for a fairly large fee back in 72/73 - trouble was he was injured and only played 1 game - and a sub in another if I can remember - whilst he wasn't our most expensive signing ever he was almost certainly the most expensive player per minute played ever signed by the club. Â Â He was an excellent player too - I saw him playing for Clydebank quite a few times - but injury put paid to his Jags career.

I seem to remember a fee of around 10,000, which was a fair sum at the time. Â Not the best investment by PTFC, it has to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
