SteelmaninOZ Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 As the club celebrates its 125th anniversary, just a wee tribute to some of the players and managers who helped build Motherwell FC. Starting with the first ever Motherwell team from 1886, there are pictures and a few film clips of legends such as John 'Sailor' Hunter, who managed the 'Well for 35 years, leading them to their only top division success in the 1931/32 season. Bobby Ferrier (over 600 appearances in 20 years), Willie McFadyen (who still holds the record for goals scored in a single season in Scotland's top flight) and George Stevenson (who spent 16 years as a player and 9 as manager at Fir Park) feature from the great side of the 1930's. Also included are the League Cup and Scottish Cup winning side of the early 1950's and their successors, the 'Ancell Babes'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EightSixteen Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Both are excellent! I prefer the 1886-1965 one as it's an excellent reflection on our past. Anyone know if gobstopper68 on Steelmen Online or FP Corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelmaninOZ Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 This type of clips that gobstopper does so professionally is the type of material I would like to see on MFC TV in the future. I would buy a DVD of the works of gobstopper if he would produce one anyone else buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
