Expand Did you miss the bit where wee Tam McLean was clattered, no foul given and Motherwell scored from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 On 10/7/2020 at 9:00 AM, Winning by Name said: I don't think there has been a pairing that has come remotely close Expand Agreed. It's a pity no footage seems to have survived of the Dundee 3 Motherwell 6 match on 25/10/75 because, if I remember correctly, each of Willie P's goals that day was from a Bobby Graham pass (incidentally, Gordon Strachan was playing and looked about eleven). Any old-timers out there who remember it as I do? For me, WP had the amazing ability to score even if he sclaffed or shinned the ball and he scored a lot of goals for Dundee Utd and Hearts too w/o Bobby Graham, whom I thought was just about the best I've seen for vision and passing (I never saw Pat Quinn).

Any old-timers out there who remember it as I do? Expand Yes I was there and remember it well. Really was some game and some football. We played like clockwork as almost everything fell into place. Dundee’s 3 goals have given generations of younger fans the wrong impression. We absolutely scudded them and 7 -0 wouldn’t have been unjust. Pettigrew and Graham were an amazing pairing but were probably overshadowed by Ferrier and Stevenson. Very few, if any, posters will have seen them in action; they were true giants of British football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Ian St John was pretty good paired with anyone too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think Stevenson and Ferrier will be beyond just about anyone's recall now but if Arsenal offered Sailor Hunter a blank cheque for the two of them, as the story goes, they must have been phenomenal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That they were, I was at the same fixture in 1978, the Willie Donachie own goal game, and all I remember is Gemmill and Yorath kicking seven shades out of each other. Happy days and not a booking in site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I was at that game too. Donachie's OG was something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbomuir Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 31 replies is great to this topic, especially mentions to Big Jim Muir, centre half/forward extrondinair. Still my opinion is Bobby Graham deserves a hall of fame entry, just mentally one step in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
