El Grew Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 The previously mentioned John Fallon in the Scottish Cup quarter final at Fir Park in 1972 when we drew 2-2 with the Orks. Davie Whiteford behind him and John Muir on the goal line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Like Billy Ritchie, another Old Firm signing, not one of our memorable custodians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An early exposure for me to the pain of playing the Old Firm. 2-1 up with minutes to go and the "Girvan Lighthouse" launches a trademark kick soaring right into Colin Stein's path bang equaliser. Onto Ibrox and a thumping 5-2 (I think) after the aforementioned John Fallon threw one into the net, very early in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 slightly off topic, but I loved that green goalie top, Stuart Rennie looked great in it. Kieth McRae's black one was better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though one hell of a goalkeeper/right back/centre forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelman1991 I know. I too carry a lot of scar tissue from that time and also from then until now and I have shed rivers of tears along the journey that is supporting the 'Well. It's in the genes and in the blood. Wouldn't change it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 From the 1931 Scottish Cup Final. Celtic goalkeeper John Thomson gathers the ball from the incoming 'Well player Johnny Murdoch. Just a few months later John Thomson tragically died as the result of a head injury received in an accidental clash with the Rangers centre-forward Sam English in the Old Firm league game at Ibrox.

El Grew Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Keith MacRae in his all black kit. In the second picture he's diving at the feet of Alan Gordon of Dundee United (later of Hibs). Others in picture are Kenny Cameron and Joe Wark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Dosser Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I believe it was Eddie Turnbull who, while manager of Hibs, once gave Alan Gordon a pre-Fergie hairdryer session at half-time which ended with the comment, "See you, Gordon, all your brains are in yer heid!" He was a cultured player, though not quite in the Gordon Smith category (AG that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the photos on p.247 of "'Well Again", it could be John Donnelly but not Carberry or Irvine. I don't know what Wilson or Smith looked like, or remember them. Literally a "long shot"! Weeks behind reading this thread so apologies. The Smith and Wilson mentioned in the team could be Joe Smith, who we signed from Aberdeen (and the player in the photo is far too svelte to be him) and Paul Wilson, the ex-Celtic winger.

Aye 4-2 was at both games. What I remember is Rangers supporters just pissing all over the east terrace .And at Ibrox a Rangers fan launching an empty bottle down the terracing , the police came up a few minutes later asked if anyone know or saw anything. Nobody said a word , I knew after that tie what I had always suspected that Rangers fans are a bunch of scum bastard's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
