The Mighty Quinn Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 got a nice phone call there, askin me to play in a st rochs legends v peasy legends. i said 'im touched you find me a legend.' boy sed 'quinny, u were the guy who scored the goal against benburb that won us the div b in the 82-3 season.' i said ' aye i remember.' good they remember i done that. i remember the game quite well. we wur drawin 1-1 n i was a centre mid, n their goalie punted it into the middle of the park, i tried to control it but took a bad touch n kinda put the ball waist high in front of me. i put my boot in to try rectify it n kinda kung fu kicked 1 of their players in the thigh. as soon as i done it, i heard the ref peep but i went over to the guy lying on the ground n said 'sorry mate, u ok?' then i signalled someone to come on help him. the ref said 'that was an honest foul, because u didnt look at me, u looked at the guy on the ground. i know u didnt mean it, but i'll need to give u a yellow card for bein reckless.' i said ok. the bens wur fumin. they thought i should have been sent off but there was no malice in it. the game went on and hughie farrell hit a corner into the box n jimmy graham heidered it off one of their defenders n it broke to me n i smashed the ball into the net. the bens couldnt win the league but they wanted to stop us, for old firm reasons. there was maybe 1500 people at provanmill park that day. place went wild. the bens were livid, sayin that 'person' to put it politely, should have been sent off. i remember it like it was yesterday. when the full time whistle went n we won the div b, place went wild. threw my boots into the crowd, but kept my top. i've still got it in my loft. memories eh? anyway, st rochs are hopin to have a game on mayday bank holiday, get a bbq goin n hopefully raise some money fr the team. there will be a bar and plus u'll get to see my 58 yr old cacrass tryin to kick a ball. the boy who is arranging this would like to get a hold of dennis mcquade, because he played fr the candy(st rochs nickname) i'm old, said i'll kick the ball for 20 mins or so. wid be good if he wid for a bit. can someone put me in touch wae dennis?
