underboyleheating Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 In May 1886, Glencairn FC and Alpha FC (the works team from the Alpha Steam Crane & Engine Works) merged to form Motherwell FC. Giving youth a chance since 1886. How young is the player with the ball?https://ibb.co/M2qqPCq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand is it a different tour to the summer of 1976 ? https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/club/history/through-the-years/ Quote During the close season the club under took a trip to Mexico, Haiti and Columbia. The tour started in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, where Ian Taylor scored in a 2-1 defeat to Toluca. In the second game in Haiti, Isaac Farrell scored the winner in a victory over Violette. In the third game against Racing of Haiti, Ian Kennedy was the scorer in a 2-1 defeat. The final game saw Willie Pettigrew score in 2-1 loss to Santa Fe of Columbia.

underboyleheating Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think it’s a different tour. The cancelled game one was the early 70s not the mid 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the rest, yes, it is BR. Andy Weir was still in hospital, I think. "Willie McCallum marking Colin Stein": in oh so many ways! Ditto Peter Millar and Kenny D.

Will see if I can get confirmation. As a wee boy, my memory of Charlie Aitken *bows in respect* in the 60s was of this blond head towering above others at corners and powering in headers.

Expand On part two the link with the Scottish Health Education Group started in the mid-eighties (you might remember the "Motherwell, Motherwell, Go for Good Health and be a Winner as Well" abomination) so there was health related stuff up across the ground from them on. I can remember, or at least have seen images showing firstly an advert on the roof that something along the lines of "half way down Robertson Street" on. The first SHEG advert that I can remember had something like "Go for Good Health and Get Fit for Life" on the roof. That was on it when the East Stand opened in 1991. "How Much Do you Cough Up for Cigarettes" was on it a few years after that. After the Cooper was built the Main Stand and East Stand both got new facias for a more consistent look across four stands so on the basis that the Cooper opened in 1995 I'd say the change of signage would have come in the aftermath of that. When exactly I couldn't say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
