Keef Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 we also beat Flamenco 9-3 and Falkirk 9-1 in the 50's/60's Was it not the case that we were nine up at half-time in that Falkirk game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I seem to recollect us putting 10 past Hamilton Accies in the late 1960's and I'm pretty sure Joe Wark scored a hat-trick. Not sure if it was a friendly, or maybe even the Lanarkshire Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auldyin Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 The Flamengo game was in 1960. Flamengo were Brazilian Champions at the time and had three or four players from the Brazilian 1958 World Cup winning squad in their team. They had a winger called Baba who was supposed to be brilliant. They played Hibs on the Saturday and drew 1 all. They came to the Ark on the Wednesday. I was there and managed to get the full squads autographs on the programme. Flamengo played very well and were winning 2-1 at half time. Motherwell came out and scored 8 goals in the second half, St. John got 5. Final score: Motherwell 9 --Flamengo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auldyin Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 You could be right, Fatcalf, my memory not that good at times. I do know it was an extended European tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 This Fir Park Corner article reckons over 25,000. (Given how we counted attendance in those days, I imagine this is as accurate as you'll get). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
