Quick look at Wikipedia and he's 36 and played for us between 2005 and 2009 including loan spell, 30 games in the first season and another 30 over the next 3... Genuinely didn’t notice him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigirimana is part of a Glentoran team that are finding their groove again in the Irish League, but hasn't featured for them since the turn of the year. They are saturated with options in the middle of the park, so his time there may be limited after January. On the blue side of Belfast, Christy Manzinga has 17 or 18 goals for the season so far, second top scorer behind Glentoran's mercurial striker and convicted sex-offender Jay Donnelly. Rohan Ferguson is having an up and down season in goals for Larne. He's been at fault - or certainly could have done better - for a few goals that have contributed to them sliding out of title contention. For anyone interested in seeing how good/bad the Irish League is, there's at least one live game a week on the BBC iPlayer, either on a Friday night or a Saturday 530 kick off. Tends to mainly be games involving the Belfast sides, plus Larne and Coleraine, and it's very rare for there to be a game without goals, drama, controversy or abysmal refereeing.

Nicky Walker was just before my time, I seem to remember him with Partick Thistle. I have a memory of Tommy Coyne trying to lob him from far out and the ball was going well wide but for whatever reason Walker attempted to dive and get it only to divert it in which gave us a last minute equaliser. Plus I prefer Deans shortbread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Nicky Walker was obviously a favourite of the late Jock Wallace who brought him to Fir Park, having previously had I’m under his tutelage at Leicester and then took him on to Rangers. I recall him being decent enough for us, and certainly not the worst we ever had between the sticks, though I don’t think I was too upset to see him leave. I am trying to remember who he may have replaced in goal for us, Shuggie Sproat perhaps? I cannot but think that old Hugh’s anachronisms would not have gone down well with Jock Wallace, though they did make him a bit of a cult hero with some of our support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning by Name Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Senility is kicking in and I cannot rely on my memory all the time nowadays but did Nicky Walker and Andy Dornan not sign for us on the same day? As I say I could be a mile out! I am sure someone will correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ped_MFC Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I thought Dornan arrived with Andy Harrow but my memory is shot too. Could be the Aberlour right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hugh Sproat was a McLeod signing. Was it not Cammy Duncan who replaced Nicky Walker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed he was. I am suggesting that Walker replaced Sproat, not vice versa. As for who replaced Walker, the mention of Dornan and Harrow reminded me that we picked up a few fringe players from Aberdeen around the early to mid eighties, including John Gardner. I think Cammy Duncan was just a bit later. A quick check online has confirmed that Gardner joined us around then, though from Dundee United rather than Aberdeen.

clueless Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Sorry, I misread your post. And I obviously blanked the Gardner years from my memory. I just had a look through the excellent Motherwellnet site, which I think somebody on here set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris-A-Goalda Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Ben Hall debuting for Linfield on the iPlayer just now against Larne in the Irish Cup. Christy Manzinga booked after 4 minutes and lucky not to be off for kick at a Larne defender. Jake Hastie on the bench for the Blues as well.
