Jaggernaut Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think I have them all bar the 'keeper: back row l to r: Campbell, Muir, ?, Cunningham, McKinnon, Gibb front row l to right: Flanagan, McParland, Duncan, Roxburgh, Gallagher(not 100%sure). Wouldn't mind a few of those in the current squad! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PARTICK-THISTLE-FOOTBALL-TEAM-PHOTO196667-SEASON-/370976020096 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 we had a goalie back then john arrol.. could it be him ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) You are right with Gallagher, Jagger and yes that was a very good jags team. The goalie has baffled me as well. This was round about the Niven/Ritchie era but it aint them and it isnt John Arroll. There was a goalie called Gray in the 60s but pretty sure he had dark hair. Bamboozled!!

CCjag Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) By a process of elimination, McFedris and I think it's at Celtic Park 1966. Trust me, you don't want to know the score! Above may be what is technically known as mince! Gray - season 65-66? Edited January 4, 2014 by CCjag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above may be what is technically known as mince! Gray - season 65-66? McFedris is a good shout; it definitely ain't Arroll. Thanks for the warning; I'll desist from looking up the score.

Garscube Road End Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Isn't it a guy called Sandy Gourlay? Seem to remember a goalie around that period of that name, who remained No.2 under a young Roughie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggy Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 we had a goalie back then john arrol.. could it be him ? Arrol was at Firhill around 73 or 74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gibbs mince recipe Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's def not Arrol. He had dark hair. Arrol was with us a few years later than that. Auld dropped Rough and Arrol was playing so well some thought he might but broke his leg in the Cup at Motherwell (75 I think) and never recovered. Jackie Campbell went in goal and played a blinder in a 0-0 draw. Rough came back and in a year was Scotland keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if Arrol hadn't broken his leg we would have made the first season of the "new" Premier Division. Roughie would never have got back.

Duncan Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Jeez I rarely missed a game home and away with my dad in those days but I can't remember a goalie called McFedris! He may have been a nice guy but be very glad you don`t remember him playing as he appeared three times for us in 1966-67 and conceded 16 goals! Two away league games against Celtic (2-6) and Motherwell (0-5) as well as a pre-season friendly against Airdrie (2-5)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanieD Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I was at the Airdrie game the week before McFedris played against Celtic and George Niven was injured (bad face/eye cut or the likes). I was also at the 0-5 games he played in against Motherwell at Fir Park later that season. As I recall (and I was very young so the passage of time might be playing tricks) in the Motherwell game he prowled all around his penalty area like an agitated hyena - absolutely no confidence at all and evidently very nervous. I cannot recall the goals but seem to remember that the entire team was very poor that day so perhaps his nervousness was induced by a lack of confidence in his team-mates as well as himself.

Blackpool Jags Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just saw this: https://twitter.com/...7812353/photo/1 Cracker! What a glittering array of talent that was sitting on the front row. I'm now slightly confused, though, as I thought we wore the V-neck tops before we went with the crew-neck ones. I think it says 1970 on the text. Billy Richie on the back row and no sign, yet, of Roughie. I'm sure more observant posters will be able to identify the other two keepers.
