Yes I remember now , Don Goodman scored a double at Tannadice in the white kit , same one as the 5-6 game against the Dons Remember McCulloch being linked with Hearts also , Hearts were very keen to sign him at that time

It was a home game , after the original one was abandoned at half time . Both teams wore away kits that night

Indeed he did , watched this game on YouTube recently If memory is correct we played in it twice , both against Hearts then changed to a white strip for the rest of the season

The new away kit is fine by me . If people associate with the sash or Rangers who cares . And if next season Well bring out a claret and amber hooped top associated with Celtic , or of course Accies who cares also Most important thing for me is we have at least a bit of claret and amber associated with any top home or away What i wasn’t a fan of is the likes of this below , the thing which made it even worse was no badge and just the MFC lettering

A great day in recent Well history

Buzzing for the new season , can’t wait Beats all this Wimbledon stuff etc New top good too

Two of McLeish’s last signings if I remember right , again moved on pretty quickly

Remember this Scott Thomson game , I took both a Rangers fan and a Celtic fan to Fir Park , friends at school in the Cooper Stand . Was the day Celtic stopped 10 in a row Both listening to headsets of course , and I was on the park at full time with many others I actually got hit on the side of the head by Tommy Coyne’s Boots when he threw them to a fan , last game Looking back I remember being well chuffed I got so close to the legend that was TC

Best of luck Richard Tait Very decent player in my opinion

Stephen Halliday , a signing from 1998 who I spoke to very briefly, and seemed a very decent guy Another signing who made little impact in the Kampman era and moved on quite quickly

1-0 to the Motherwell FT

I was disappointed when he left the Well in 2010 , done an excellent job with Archie Knox in that year Watched him on YouTube with Si Ferry recently, think it was from 3/4 years ago . He was a great storyteller and the type of guy you could listen to easily

Was the home game against Odense , I think that season was our best chance ever of getting to a Euro group stage Missed a penalty that night , and hit the post . Murphy if I remember right

Yes it was assistant manager to Willie McLean

Just heard the sad news Best Scotland manager in my lifetime , a great year at the Well in 2010 also and dragged us from Gannon’s mess to a 12 game unbeaten run and that unforgettable 6-6 Hibs game among others Should never have left when he did in my opinion , but worked out not too bad at all with wee Stuart

The form he was in I have no doubt he would have continued to score Was hoping as well he would be here at least til the end of the transfer window and banged in a few more league, and cup goals by then

Totally agree , Kevin will be missed for sure Will always remember the last 3 months of this season especially

All the best King Kevin You will definitely be missed at Fir Park

Happy enough for Obika to sign on for another season . Good player for St Mirren and definetly not seen the best of him yet

Definetly will be an interesting read , there is at least a good 140 pages Motherwell related Interesting as well that in 1998 Owen Coyle was the other contender for the manager along with wee Billy On the subject of Gascoigne/Cooper also , two great players in Scottish football, Gazza was indeed done in 2000 and would have been a costly mistake Definetly biased towards the Coop though for obvious reasons

Quite happy for Liam Kelly to be the Well goalie much longer , he has made some blunders though few and far between compared with the saves to keep us in certain games . Could end up with worse

My copy came in today , and looks like there is a lot of Well related stuff in this The unfortunate death of youth player Andy Thomson in 1998 , talks about the late Andy Goram as well and the build up to the 7-1 defeat against Glasgow’s other mob

Seem to remember there being some fall out between Jim Griffin and wee Billy , but can’t remember what the story was He ended up at Motherwell College doing sport and fitness not long after as he was my mates tutor

One we were linked with I remember was Gazza . Sure I remember it was quoted we would use some of the gate receipts to fund the deal , was never ever happening . Ended up at Everton a few weeks later
