northernsoul Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Alan Morgan First Thistle idol, so to speak and was gutted about his injury. I always maintain if him and Gareth Evans were both fit and playing together, for the majority of the season we would never have got relegated in the Save the Jags season.

cjptfc Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Nicky Henderson, Jamie Dolan, David Moss (totally undervalued), Andy Lyons, Derek McWilliams, Alex Taylor, Des McKeown, Ian Cameron ( or is he too good?) and Graeme Robertson - I always felt bad for him, he played every single game the season we got promoted and was released by Lambie at the end of the season. He wasn't great but he never hid, even when he was having a terrible game - which was brave but stupid cos he got pelters from the shed. Should have been mentioned before, good player.

rodge Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the RB in that defence would have been Graeme Robertson? I think he played for Dunfermline too. Blonde haired dude. think graeme was a couple of years before that.Funny enough he is now my sons coach and grant teirneys son is in the team as well.

broomhill jag Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Iain Nicholson - Not sure if we got this guy from YTS. For a young guy he was thrown straight into the first team and played a lot of games for us in the Save the Jags season. I'm pretty sure he left us after a year and went onto St Mirren and became a reliable and solid player for them. Jered Stirling - Great goal scoring record for a full back. Our last best and reliable penalty taker? Gareth Evans - Always liked Evans, he single handedly nearly kept us up in 98'. Came back after pretty much missing the second half of the season, due to injury and scored the goals which gave us hope of staying up. Paul Tosh - He made some impact for a guy joining on a short term deal. During a horrible season he scored some vital and memorable goals. The Arbroath Cup win with 8 men then a hat-trick against Cowdenbeath in the next round. We won every game he scored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he came back from Aberdeen (I think it was) he was slower, but he could still put himself about in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagsfan58 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 BOAB McCulloch - What a character, free kick specialist - second top goalscorer as a full back, unbelievable. Popped up with many a goal when we needed one and a player worthy of a mention here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Definitely better during his first spell with us. When he came back from Aberdeen (I think it was) he was slower, but he could still put himself about in the box. Agreed. Tommy played both as a winger and a striker for us at different times. He had one season, I'm sure, as our top scorer. Was that what led to Aberdeen coming in for him? I was a Tommy Rae fan. As a winger, and without having great pace, he'd regularly take on the full back and get a good cross in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Julian Broddle (kidding) Seeing Alan Johnston yesterday reminded me of his brother ( I think), Sammie Johnston. Not a bad player, especially in his first stint with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Stronach Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Derek Fleming. He consistantly hit excellent free-kicks and corners for us and always gave his all. Never hid when the going got tough under Britton and Whyte and took a disgustıng amount of stick from the infamous Firhill boo-boys. Looking back, it was embarassing the way he was treated from some sections of our support during the 04/05 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard tell Tommy Ewing was better on his return but I only saw him when he came back. Tommy Ewing was brilliant! Before and after. Tommy Rae was definately an unsung hero. My own favourites were George Niven and Billy Hainey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
