Winter of '63 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Answer please. The quiz was meant to keep things ticking along during the silly season Yes - alert the coastguard...Jeanie D has not reported in. Mark McWalter does seem the obvious answer to his/her/its question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Mark McWalter deal IIRC was David Elliot and Chic to St Mirren in return for Geordie Shaw and Mark McWalker plus £220,000. I'd say that £219,000 was for Shaw and the remainder was for McWalter. Didn't Paul McGlaughlan cost in the region of £100K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 OOpppps sorry - just back from a cruise round Bute! The one I was thinking of, and remember I am middle aged, is alan Munro who we signed from clydebank but he only played 60 mins of a 5-0 defeat at Cappielow and never played another first team game. Not really his fault, he was a good player, but he was plagued by injury and was signed, as i recall, when he was injured in any case. Think it worked out at something like £660 per minute player (he cost about £35,000). Sorry if that was a rotten question - perhaps I should pass the baton onto somebody else.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 perhaps I should pass the baton onto somebody else. I've got a question if no one else has one at the moment. I'll wait a wee bit to see if anyone else posts one meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) OK then. Two future Jags managers Davie McParland and Bertie Auld played against each other often enough in Thistle v Celtic matches but they also crossed swords in senior football when both were playing for two other senior teams. Q/What teams were they playing for and where were they playing? Edited June 7, 2012 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 going back to brothers, there was the Docherty brothers in the mid-80's, they were dreadful. I think it might have been Jim & John, but I couldn't be sure. One of them was fat & was suupposedly a striker, my only real memory of him was running in to the fence that surrounded the pitch at Shawfield. There was a Pat Docherty who left to join the police I think, but I don't think he was related to the other 2 You not thinking the john donnely and paul donnely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 You not thinking the john donnely and paul donnely No definitely Docherty. The Donnellys were good & unrelated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) There was a lad Cairns, palyed with us late 80's early 90's, who has sadly passed away, I remember being told he was a nephew of Bertie Auld, might be getting confused tho.

jagfox Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'm sure Bertie played for Birmingham City prior to moving back north so I'd say that was his club. No idea who David would have been with. I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who David would have been with. I'm out Correct. Bertie Auld was playing for Birmingham City against a team (not Thistle) that included Davie McParland. So what was that team called and where were they playing? edited to add... I'll have no access to forum for a wee while so if no one is hot I'll post a clue a wee bit later on.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Some kind of six-a-side tournament? No, and it's not a trick question. First clue, and I'm surprised that someone on here hasn't already mentioned the team that Davie McP played for, is that the "where" is not in the British Isles. And that's actually two clues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, there should be some sort of handicapping system on here. There is a clue in a prior post to the team in question. Tom, I did say "early sixties".

JeanieD Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 OK - I'll try. In the 5-0 defeat by morton (the Alan Munro 1973 game) - what was significant about the result at the end of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
