underboyleheating Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 That guy on the line looks like a cardboard cutout The wee ‘guy’ on the line is Celtic and Scotland winger Jimmy Johnstone. In the olden days prior to photoshop, images were enhanced/retouched with a steady hand, photo dyes and a size 0 artist paint brush. Whoever, worked on this image was obviously short on time. It’s a skill that I learnt in the early 80s, when working in a busy advertising/design studio, however, these days this old school technique is rarely used. When over done like this one, a retouched figure can look a little like a cardboard cutout, however, when the images were dot screened in the newspaper, the retouching would have looked less noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 A long shot, however, I am trying to locate a decent or reasonably decent image of our late 50s early 60s white away top. Does anyone have one or know where I can source one?This is us wearing it in a pre season team shot (the white top with the claret crew neck with the bold claret V insert), however, I am looking for a more individual image (action or posed). The shirt was long sleeved, however, on this particular image the players have rolled the sleeves up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Striker John Goldthorp playing at the Fir Park that I remember as a boy. He scored the winner in a Texaco Cup match against a team who just happened to have worlds greatest goalkeeper Gordon Banks between the sticks. For that moment alone, he will always be a Motherwell legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Motherwell’s 70s pin up boy, Peter Marinello. In his Arsenal days I think he once co-hosted an edition of Top of the Pops. This has to be my favourite picture of Peter, I know it was the 70s, however, what the hell was he thinking about going out dressed like that?
