Gadgey Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Within the article on the official site about Brian McLaughlin, there’s a picture of the all conquering Davie Hay first division team of 81-82. http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2018/02/21/talisman-of-the-champions/ Theres some well kent faces in there but seeing Joe Wark and Brian McClair in there got me thinking. Like all others too young to have seen him play, I know Joe Wark is a motherwell legend but was he a ‘well fan? I was always told by my dad that Brian McClair was a ‘well fan ? Gary McAlister is a ‘well fan but who else has worn the glorious claret and amber and realised their boyhood dreams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sorry to burst your dad's bubble, but McClair (from Airdrie) was a 'Hoops' fan through and through. Don't think Joe was either - though certainly grew to have a deep affection and affinity with the club. Think I read somewhere that Johnny Gaghan - though from Glasgow used to come to games with his Uncle, prior to signing and claimed to have been a supporter. Gary Mac seems to divide opinion with those who went to school with him - some claim he was a 'blue-nose' others that he bled 'Claret & Amber' - he does pledge his allegiance to Motherwell when appearing as a pundit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim64 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Johnny gahagan definitely Willie pettigrew I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Joe was from Glasgow. I dont believe he was brought up a Mothewell fan. Willie P definitely was as I believe was Ian St John. Ally Maxwell is another one that springs to mind . Despite being unpopular with the support, I think Brian Kerr was too.

Al B Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Cadden and Reynolds are definites. For some reason Stevie Saunders sticks in my mind although I might be completely making that up. As an interesting aside, there's a couple of 'Well fans who haven't played for us. Rab Douglas and Lee Miller. Big Rab has a Motherwell tattoo, and back in the first McGhee era there's a photo of Lee Miller celebrating a goal for Hearts with a "Live The Dream" wristband clearly visible. Anyone know of any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yip - big Rab joined the 'Well fans at the cup tie at Dens a coupled of weeks past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Do we mean Brian Kerr or Fraser Kerr? I thought Fraser was an alleged 'Well fan (although that might be based on the fact he came through our youth system). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Marc Fitzpatrick, Jack Leitch and Adam Livingstone are a few of the younger generation who I believe are Well fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunnyMFC Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I can remember a guy who I used to work with claimed that Cadden is a Celtic fan. Whether it's true or not as long as he continues to do well at the club it doesn't matter . EDIT: Darren Smtih is a former player who supported the 'Well.
