Nicky Walker was just before my time, I seem to remember him with Partick Thistle. I have a memory of Tommy Coyne trying to lob him from far out and the ball was going well wide but for whatever reason Walker attempted to dive and get it only to divert it in which gave us a last minute equaliser. Plus I prefer Deans shortbread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The African 488 Report post Posted February 3 Nicky Walker was obviously a favourite of the late Jock Wallace who brought him to Fir Park, having previously had I’m under his tutelage at Leicester and then took him on to Rangers. I recall him being decent enough for us, and certainly not the worst we ever had between the sticks, though I don’t think I was too upset to see him leave. I am trying to remember who he may have replaced in goal for us, Shuggie Sproat perhaps? I cannot but think that old Hugh’s anachronisms would not have gone down well with Jock Wallace, though they did make him a bit of a cult hero with some of our support. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Dosser 217 Report post Posted February 3 I predict his shortbread empire will crumble. Did someone mention Aberlour 12-y-o? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winning by Name 117 Report post Posted February 3 Senility is kicking in and I cannot rely on my memory all the time nowadays but did Nicky Walker and Andy Dornan not sign for us on the same day? As I say I could be a mile out! I am sure someone will correct me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ped_MFC 94 Report post Posted February 3 I thought Dornan arrived with Andy Harrow but my memory is shot too. Could be the Aberlour right enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clueless 5 Report post Posted February 3 Hugh Sproat was a McLeod signing. Was it not Cammy Duncan who replaced Nicky Walker? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The African 488 Report post Posted February 3 6 hours ago, clueless said: Hugh Sproat was a McLeod signing. Was it not Cammy Duncan who replaced Nicky Walker? Indeed he was. I am suggesting that Walker replaced Sproat, not vice versa. As for who replaced Walker, the mention of Dornan and Harrow reminded me that we picked up a few fringe players from Aberdeen around the early to mid eighties, including John Gardner. I think Cammy Duncan was just a bit later. A quick check online has confirmed that Gardner joined us around then, though from Dundee United rather than Aberdeen.

clueless 5 Report post Posted February 3 Sorry, I misread your post. And I obviously blanked the Gardner years from my memory. I just had a look through the excellent Motherwellnet site, which I think somebody on here set up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christy Manzinga booked after 4 minutes and lucky not to be off for kick at a Larne defender. Jake Hastie on the bench for the Blues as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
