[1991 Milk Cup Semi-Final V Man United]

For sure I remember that.  I am the Motherwell #7 you see after the penalty save.

[1991 Milk Cup Semi-Final V Man United]

This one from a few years ago made me chuckle.  I actually played on that team and played in that game.  I remember a few of the boys from that team but no idea where they are now.  I was #7 and played on the right hand side.  Here is what I remember. 

Willy McLean and Bobby Jenks were in charge of the team.

GK - James ??? (played club football in Edinburgh, played for us in Milk Cup and the following year in BP Youth Cup), RB - Jon Combe (I think, another Edinburgh lad), CB Paul Doyle (signed YTS after tournament), LB - Tam Augatis (sp.) also signed YTS after that tournament.  Me at RM, CM - A lad called David Gemmill, Up front were 2 Bathgate lads. Paul Ferguson was one (was a YTS signing), the other was a lad called Les Malone (I met Les a few years later, I was studying at Heriot Watt, he was also studying in Edinburgh.  I roomed with a guy called James Mulgrew (Dixie), I think he went on to become an attorney.  The others I can't really recall.

We played Colraine at their home ground in opening game and won.  I remember the Man United game the most.  It was 0-0 after extra time.  Beckham had a penalty saved in the 90 minutes.  We lost on penalties and walked off with Nobby Stiles arm around me.  The other United coach was Brian Kidd.

That was good team.  I signed YTS after that summer and played the following year.  We had a good BP youth team that year too and went to the semi final.  Losing against His at Easter Rd.  Alex Burns was in that team, Innes Ritchie, Paul Lavery, and a few of the boys I mentioned earlier.  

Best I can do.  Brought back some great memories.  I wish I had the program.
