El Grew 156 Report post Posted January 7 The previously mentioned John Fallon in the Scottish Cup quarter final at Fir Park in 1972 when we drew 2-2 with the Orks. Davie Whiteford behind him and John Muir on the goal line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davie Whiteford behind him and John Muir on the goal line. An early exposure for me to the pain of playing the Old Firm. 2-1 up with minutes to go and the "Girvan Lighthouse" launches a trademark kick soaring right into Colin Stein's path bang equaliser. Onto Ibrox and a thumping 5-2 (I think) after the aforementioned John Fallon threw one into the net, very early in the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grumpy 103 Report post Posted January 7 slightly off topic, but I loved that green goalie top, Stuart Rennie looked great in it. Kieth McRae's black one was better though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously though one hell of a goalkeeper/right back/centre forward. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too carry a lot of scar tissue from that time and also from then until now and I have shed rivers of tears along the journey that is supporting the 'Well. It's in the genes and in the blood. Wouldn't change it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Grew 156 Report post Posted Tuesday at 04:21 AM From the 1931 Scottish Cup Final. Celtic goalkeeper John Thomson gathers the ball from the incoming 'Well player Johnny Murdoch. Just a few months later John Thomson tragically died as the result of a head injury received in an accidental clash with the Rangers centre-forward Sam English in the Old Firm league game at Ibrox.

El Grew 156 Report post Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM Keith MacRae in his all black kit. In the second picture he's diving at the feet of Alan Gordon of Dundee United (later of Hibs). Others in picture are Kenny Cameron and Joe Wark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Dosser 172 Report post Posted Wednesday at 07:13 PM I believe it was Eddie Turnbull who, while manager of Hibs, once gave Alan Gordon a pre-Fergie hairdryer session at half-time which ended with the comment, "See you, Gordon, all your brains are in yer heid!" He was a cultured player, though not quite in the Gordon Smith category (AG that is). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
