Did that and the claret & amber image get thrown out at that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then wore a similar shirt with thankfully a smaller badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always impressed with how absolutely knackered the main stand looked before its facelift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked " Well Again" and it was Ian Taylor who got the other 2 that day. Jim McCabe left earlier that season without making an appearance and signed for Stranraer.

Both had long blond hair, as did Ian Taylor, I knew my memory was rotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretzel Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I spotted this image on Twitter , it was a proposed new stand design for a potential ground based on Airbles Street. The plans were designed by architect James Bell and was dated 1890. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Dosser Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 The middle photo is particularly nostalgic, with its Art Deco front. As far as I remember the turnstiles had "Irlam O' The Height" as the place of manufacture. Anyone else remember this detail (probably as you were carried over them for free)?

El Grew Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Motherwell legend Hugh Ferguson and his wife photographed with the FA Cup in 1927.

ECOSSE1991 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 On 3/11/2020 at 4:46 PM, underboyleheating said: In May 1886, Glencairn FC and Alpha FC (the works team from the Alpha Steam Crane & Engine Works) merged to form Motherwell FC. Giving youth a chance since 1886. How young is the player with the ball?https://ibb.co/M2qqPCq The youngster at the front is 14-year-old John Taylor “Bug” Young. A Motherwell Times article of 15th October 1954 confirms he played football for the Alpha Works FC, who operated at Roman Road from 1881-1886. The article states he was, in October 1954, one of only 2 surviving members of the original Motherwell FC team of 1886 when Glencairn FC and Alpha had merged to form Motherwell FC. The newspaper article confirms he was "known as Bug Young" to older supporters. John was born on the 4th of October 1869 and he is first mentioned in the Scranton US census of 1st June 1870 as being 8 months old. He died at 709 South Second Street, West Monroe, Louisiana on 27th December 1957. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
