The Sunnylaw Jag Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Came across this on You Tube. Not sure if it's been posted here before. However, the Jags do get beat 2 - 0 and there's no commentary just some mind numbing music. Interesting to see the enclosure with people standing in it. Also I forgot how thick the stripes were then. Enjoy . . . or not we do get beat at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Don't know about the game, but the music is A Walk in the Black Forest by Horst Jankowski. Does get on yer thruppenies, right enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 That's not us. It says "Patrick Thistle" at the start. If that strip was to return any time soon (with black collar) replica sales would be through the roof IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Worst highlights ever Good find though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) It looks like it was filmed and edited by a chimpanzee. Great to catch some glimpses of legends: Rough, Campbell. Nae sponsors' logos, nae advertising on the enclosure wall; the wee blue "invalids'" motors. And sunshine! Excellent find.

Winter of '63 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think that might have been the club's first ever game in the Premier League - the 10 team top league was formed the previous season and we were promoted after winning the First Division. We outplayed Ayr, who were a decent side back then, but lost 2-0 at Firhill. I remember media comments about the naive promoted club being taught a lesson by their more experienced and streetwise opponents. Does any of this sound familiar? In any event, we must have learned pretty quickly under Bertie Auld as we turned into an uncompromising outfit criticised for a negative approach and finished fifth in the League that season. Mind you we did have players of the calibre of Alan Rough, Alan Hansen, Joe Craig( Steven's father) and Doug Somner in the side. And Jackie Campbell too, a great defender - seeing him doing the half-time draw on Tuesday was the highlight of the night...but he looked old and really small for a centre half. Even from these highlights apparently filmed from ankle level, it's great to see Jackie make a series of challenges, blocks & headed clearances - that's how to do it Conrad!

Members Willjag Posted January 23, 2014 Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I remember chatting with Jackie Campbell at the launch of the official history book and i was astonished at just how small he was. I reckon he must have only been about 5'8" - 5'10". Really small for a centre half but still won most of the headers he challenged for.

gerrybritton9 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Good find! This doesn't look like TV footage, more like someone with a video camera. Either that or a time traveller with an iphone! And my phone always auto corrects my texts to say Patrick Thistle. tsk ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy McD Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 great find. it must have been filmed from the front of the city end of the shed . the pitch back then was about 2meters lower down . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggy Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Campbell and Anderson....if only we could turn back the clock 40 years!! as much as I loved Campbell & Anderson, we still lost plenty of goals in those days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 as much as I loved Campbell & Anderson, we still lost plenty of goals in those days!! We lost 44 goals in a 36 game season that year - that's not too bad in a League including exceptional Aberdeen and Dundee United sides as well as Celtic & Rangers. Are you related to The Cup by any chance, Jaggy? I thought this thread might escape his downbeat contributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I remember chatting with Jackie Campbell at the launch of the official history book and i was astonished at just how small he was. I reckon he must have only been about 5'8" - 5'10". Really small for a centre half but still won most of the headers he challenged for. I seem to remember reading that he was 5'10". He may well have lost an inch or two since back then, of course. An absolute legend of a player; his move from an average right-back to a tough and classy central defender was a master stroke. I also seem to remember an Evening Times headline like "The Man Who Came in from the Cold". Jackie had been in some kind of dispute with the club and so wasn't playing, but due to an injury crisis and a shortage of players, he decided to come back and play for the team. Anybody else remember this incident? I think it was when we were on the slide at the end of the 60s.

That is impressive, but we had a certain goalkeeper at the time who saved us plenty of times :-) No idea who The Cup is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Let's also factor in that JC was part-time throughout his career with us; he was a draughtsman or civil engineer during the day (?). A genuine, dyed-in-the-wool PTFC legend. His conversion from RB to CH was the handiwork of a certain Mr McP if I remember correctly. Jackie will have benefited no end from playing alongside Hugh Strachan, another one of Sir Davie's sagacious acquisitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball spends a LOT of time in the air! The ball spends far too much time in the air. Bertie has to take full responsibility for this, so he must go.
